Bush's Campaign of Non - Stop Lies is Effective - Reality Based Community Shook
President Bush won four more years in the White
House on Wednesday and pledged to "fight this war on terror with every
resource of our national power." John Kerry conceded defeat rather than
challenge the vote count in make-or-break Ohio. "I will need your
support and I will work to earn it," the president said in an appeal to
the 55 million Americans who voted for his Democratic rival. "We are
entering a season of hope," he said. The president spoke before
thousands of cheering supporters less than an hour after his vanquished
opponent ended a campaign that brought him achingly close to victory.
"We cannot win this election," Kerry said in an emotional farewell. The
re-election triumph gave the president a new term to pursue the war in
Iraq and a conservative, tax-cutting agenda at home -- and probably the
chance to name one or more justices to an aging Supreme Court. He also
will preside alongside expanded Republican majorities in Congress. The
GOP gained four Senate seats and bolstered its majority in the House by
at least two. [more] and [more]

A Mandate? This election had the largest number
of people who have ever voted AGAINST a president. 1% more than 50% is
not a mandate but a bare, thin, majority. [more]
