Bush was successfully sold as an image, an illusion. The strong leader who's also a nice honest everyday heartland Christian Joe with a nice wife and kids. A real Madison Avenue hype job on the average America voter's psyche. That image is now fractured, thank God, and I believe voters wioll seek revenge for being fooled in November. They also used FEAR big-time as well as guilt, "red-baiting and flag-waving to swipe the 2002 mid-terms. Remember Coulter going so far as to say all Democrats are basically "traitors"? That was the sales job. "If you're not with us you aren't a real American". "Democrats hate America" (still using that one on Michael Moore). Of course it was all a big lie. IMHO Bush and his crew don't really care about anyone but themselves. They give Americans a bad name.

What is it about Bush that makes people like him? It certainly couldn't be the way he speaks, because he's got to be the least articulate President we've ever had. You may find this enlightening ...... pbs.org "I saw George Bush in church settings -- and he was a master," Slater says. "He was marvelously successful in talking their language, reinforcing their values, and appealing successfully to the kinds of people who not only would vote for him, but would tell the neighbors to vote for him. Not only organize phone banks for him, but would call prayer lines and talk about George Bush as a campaigner." "The Jesus Factor" chronicles Bush's efforts in Texas to allow faith-based groups to access state funding for social service programs -- a policy he would later advance following his election to the White House. And once again, the support of evangelical Christians proved critical to Bush's razor-thin victory. "The single most reliable predictor of how a person voted in the 2000 election was whether they went to church or to synagogue or mosque at least once a week," says the Southern Baptist Convention's Richard Land. "If [they did], two-thirds of them voted for George Bush." K
