He's an incompetent asshole who follows a fundamentally flawed ideology, but that's it. This is not the end of the world

I have tried telling myself the same thing. But when I look at his record I just cannot see him toneing it down that much. No president has ever lied to us the way he has and I have to agree that he has been held back from really pushing his full agenda so that he can win re-election.
Sure your right that Democracy and the American ideology cannot be torn down with one Presidency, but the damage, as evident from last night, has already proven very hard to recover from. I keep my fingers crossed that Bush may this time realize his mistake and govern more towards the center, but I will not hold my breath.
He, as all Republicans must learn, Democracy does not mean simply majority rule, it means the majority leads with respect to the minority.
