The raw vote gave Bush the win, I concede that. And I'm NOT alleging voter fraud, btw. But I don't agree, based on that, that you have overwhelming proof that America resoundingly backs the conservative agenda.

If you want to call 56 million people 'not normal', that's your right - but it doesn't make you right.
the raw vote gave Bush a majority which is something clinton never got. Also, the house and senate picked up republicans. The sitting minority leader was thrown out on his ass.
you can pretend this isn't a clear indication of what people want, but it wouldn't make you right.
