A bit of both. I know there are a lot of voters out there who voted for him because they saw him as the lesser of two evils, or that really dont like him even though they voted for him, etc. Unfortunately though, it seems as though, at least where I'm from (NC), there seems to be a good bit of the "shut up you damn liberal, its unamerican to question Bush," or the "shut up, you're just complaining, he didn't do anything wrong."
So yeah, a bit of both. I know what I said wasn't an absolute, and there are millions of people in the US just like you. But at the same time, I've experienced a lot of the "with us or against us," with
both sides taking a blind eye to any errors their politicians might have commited. Maybe I'm just surrounded by idiots who can't see anything other than black and white

That seems to sum up the reactions I see most of the time. From both sides--though admittedly I tend to see it more from the right.
