It is funny how people are always quick to say that Bush supporters are gullible and such.
It has much more to do with being practical.
All of the patches that Kerry proposes are outlandish if you really think we will be able to afford them.
Taxes for us will go up. Even if he says he will not raise them.
A lot of people saw right through that. Many people were able to look at his track record and they see that Kerry supports what ever sounds good at the time.

Also for all of the disasters (that were beyond Bush's control) that we were hit with Bush did a good job of keeping hope that we can still continue to be a strong country.

And then this brings up another point. I like my current situation I like the job that I have. I'm ok with the taxes I currently pay compared to what they will most likely be if Kerry was around. I also walk through ground zero twice a day I know what the reality is of our countries safety.

Where I am leading up to all this is that it is not just what you say in a debate, it is how much of what you say is reality.

It is inteesting that Bush won most of the 30- 60 demographic and Kerry was stroner with the 18-30 range.

The more experienced portion of the country voted for Bush. The people who do not just see the effects of a leaders decisions but who have also felt these decisions before.

As for everyone saying it is becasue of religion that Bush won. Well you know what maybe that is an important issue to the country and if you disagree guess what you are in the minority.

Now do not get me wrong I do not think Bush is a saint and I do not think that Kerry is a loon or anything. Overall Bush stood for more people's beliefs and that came through in the debates.
