"Although Kerry was only the third Catholic ever nominated for president by a major U.S. party (Al Smith and John F. Kennedy were the first two), Bush beat him nationally among all Catholic voters (churchgoers and non-churchgoers alike), 52 percent to 47 percent. This group made up 27 percent of the national electorate. "Marriage was a double-barreled issue in this election. Bush crushed Kerry among married voters generally, 57 percent to 42 percent, and also among married women, 55 percent to 44 percent. Married voters who have children went for Bush in a landslide, 59 percent to 40 percent. ... "Forget "soccer moms" and "security moms." In this election, a significant majority of Americans who are simply pursuing the traditional societal model of getting married, having kids and trying to raise those kids right -- by, among other things, going to church regularly -- voted Republican. "The America that still embraces the ideal of family depicted in the type of prime-time television shows (such as "Leave it to Beaver") that the networks don't produce anymore came shouting out from this year's network presidential exit poll. Its message was loud and clear: We don't want a Massachusetts liberal running our country. townhall.com So, "NO UNITY? NO RETREAT? NO SURRENDER?" then die! die! die! (hehe)

After a victory like this, "unity" means YOU follow US. There is nothing more EXPENDABLE in American today than a left wing Democrat...

It is amazing to me the unmitigated hubris of this administration acting as if there was any mandate in this election. Bush squeaked in by less than 140,000 votes in Ohio, IF those results are to be believed. 55,000,000 voted against Bush. That does not indicated ANY mandate on his part. But in spite of that Bush will continue with his polarizing attitude, trying to bully those who disagree with him.
