My numbered list is a bit different than Michael's.  While his Top 3  
list seeks to enumerate reasons cited by perpetual supporters of the  
Bush Administration, my Top 5 list exists merely to explain why  
things remain the way they are (i.e. no impeachment proceedings) and  
why we will probably get Jeb Bush (R-FL) or George Allen (R-VA) for  
President in 2008.

1. "Bush has balls."  (direct quote heard several times)
2. The cable TV still works.
3. The "fact" that there have been no further terrorist attacks
   on US soil since 9/11 is "proof" that everything is fine.
4. The beer truck still gets to the grocery store 5 days a week.
5. Jesus is Lord.

These five simple truisms trump anything the heathen "Liberals" have  
to say.

All we need is for some completely hated Democrat like Hillary  
Clinton (doesn't she know the meaning of the word 'taint'?) or some  
pointless dummkopf Independent like Ralph Nader (I hope he is happy  
with himself) to screw up the Presidential election AGAIN and we will  
have 8 more years of Bush-flavored tyranny.  I guaran-damn-tee it.

Fear of oppression used to motivate this country to be the best in  
the world.  Now, it is fear of change, fear of "The Other" that  
motivates us to hate and oppress everything non-white, non-Christian,  
non-"American."

Thank you, Bush Family!  Thank you, oil companies!  And a big, hearty  
THANK YOU to all the free thinkers who voted him into office (either  
time).
