W said he was a uniter. However, because of his war and many other

However, he finally did keep his promise.

* He united the country to give the Republican Party its biggest
spanking in history.
Truly and sincerely, Heck of a job, Georgie!
Your calling 6% more votes a landslide?
Perhaps you need to refer to the definition of the term "landslide".
27 states do not a "landslide" make.
Obama got a million more votes than Bush did in 04.
And you all said then that Bush had nowhere near enough popular vote
to have a mandate.
So you're saying that the left lied then?
BTW, THESE were "Landslides":
(results in electoral votes)
Theodore Roosevelt over Alton Parker in 1904, 336-140.
-Woodrow Wilson over Roosevelt and William Taft in 1912, 435-96.
-Warren Harding over James Cox in 1920, 404-127.
-Herbert Hoover over Alfred Smith in 1928, 444-87.
-Franklin Roosevelt in all four of his elections, with electoral votes
of 472, 523, 449 and 432.
-Lyndon Johnson over Barry Goldwater in 1964, 486-52.
-Richard Nixon over George McGovern in 1972, 520-17.
-Ronald Reagan over Walter Mondale in 1984, 525-13.

"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said.
"We're saying that for America to get back on track,
we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you.
We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
