Re: Bush reelected with 69% of the vote vs.: "then why under Bush in an economic boom with record surpluses does Texas go up in crime, drugs, drop-outs, pollution, familes w/o health care - while going down in teacher pay? Something is very wrong there?"

Good questions. If as you seem to imply, that Texas is going down the tubes, why did the people of Texas reelect him by such a landslide? I can come up with the following possible answers: (1) the people of Texas are ignorant of what's going on around them at best or are idiots at worst and (2) the Gore propaganda team is turning out nonsense concerning Texas. I don't believe the former answer is true, do you? Do you have any additional explanations? Please keep in mind that his approval ratings have always been very high in Texas so I don't think you can successfully make the argument that only the Bush folks turned out in the last election.
