No.  I was a moderate supporter at best and that's very much worn away to 
nothing by now.  I fully expect Bush to pull of a mask at some point, like in 
the 
movies, and it was really Clinton there all along.  Then Clinton pulls off 
the mask and it was Bush Sr. all along.

Just because I don't support him doesn't mean that the 'Bush talks to God' 
isn't incredibly beside the point and in fact something that would be 
dismissed 
out of hand were it not for a strong and mindless bias in another 26% of the 
population that anything, no matter how far fetched, immaterial, unlikely, 
and 
beside the point, that seems in some way to impune Bush is Gospel and of the 
utmost importance.

What next?  A major news release that Bush went through the express checkout 
with more than 12 items?

A quarter of the people mindlessly support Bush and a quarter (or more) of 
the people would find fault with Bush if he single handedly rescued a bus 
load 
of nuns and discovered a cure for cancer.  

Doesn't bode well.

We are headed for deep economic do-do no matter who's president, who's 
appointed to the supreme court, who botches natural disaster relief and who 
we are 
at war with.  Maybe it's best most people's minds are off it.
