Bush is a cheap shot because he just got lucky.
April 3, 2006 by Barbra Streisand:
"History has proved that war-time presidents gain immense political capitol."
Is that the reason he wanted to be president- not to serve his country, but to just gain capitol?
"And war-time presidents tend to have high approval ratings because when fighting an enemy, the country rallies around the flag and their Commander-in-Chief."
It's fear that unfortunately had some Democrats vote Republican in the last election. Bush just took advantage of the situation of being in The White House in the time of war.
"But most importantly, war-time presidents get re-elected."
Again, it's fear. Fear that only allowing a President 1 term in a time of war would make the country look weak... and that terrorists would take advantage of the weakness and attack again.
"According to Herskowitz, Bush accepted the view that without a military "win" under his belt no president could be considered truly successful."
Yes, but did he win?
"Bush knew what it took to get re-elected, but the stupidity was not to comprehend the repercussions of his own actions."
All it takes is a Conservative hi-tech company to screw with electronic voting machines.
