Hey, initial election? Bush lost the popular vote. They disliked him at the start but then, there was a war on and generally speaking, people don't want to switch presidents in the middle of a war. And for his second election, he had such a narrow win.

And of course they'll change their vote if he breaks his promises! The people that voted for him expected things he didn't deliver. I think that's a very valid reason for not liking him -- if I voted someone into office because they're pro-choice, anti-war and pro-human rights, I'd be very disillusioned if they banned abortion, invaded the moon and legalized slavery. Though Bush hasn't been quite so liberal, worse luck. He's just majorly failed at ending the war in Iraq and bringing the troops home.

...They're not satisfied now and Matt, that 48% is very scattered! They can't make their own country, it would be like half the hairs on someone's head randomly turning purple. They're not grouped together. And the half that voted for him but now repents? They've repented. They wouldn't want to be in his country any longer because he's failing at it!

There's such a thing as making a mistake and acknowledging it, you know.
