Well, PeeDeeCee (9 Oct 1:14 AM), you're right. Plenty of Americans are plenty embarrassed, not to mention outraged, to have Bush as the alleged "president", for a long catalogue of reasons we've discussed ad nauseam.

But then there are others, xenophobic (whether or not they know what the word means) reactionaries who basically are also "Second Coming" Republicans---wouldn't vote for a Democrat if he came down from the sky accompanied by angel trumpets.

However there are probably a majority of voters, Democrat, Republican, and independent in the US, who, in addition to opposing Bush for the above list of reasons, are thinking individuals, and therefore will send Bush back to his people, the subjects of the second paragraph, in November.
