The man plays to people's love of self and their utter, unshakeable belief that we are the greatest nation on earth...just because! Clilnton had what, around 70 to 80% approval rating at various points? And Bush hit the same or higher numbers? We do not have two seperate 80% blocks of the voting public. Why is it that so many people would embrace both? I'm thinking maybe it's blind, not especially critical, allegiance.
And I'm sorry, Rove is a master propagandist. Always keeping Bush on message - in other words, don't let any new troublesome info deter him from repeating, ad naseum, his/their version of the world and how to make it safe for GHOD - fearing 'Mer'cans.

You've got all the answers, without any doubt. You are absolutely correct, perfectly accurate and teh majority of Americans were so stupid as to be deceived.
And that's why your side lost.
It is simple, really.
There is an implicit assumption of self-evidence that is in reality nonexistent to the majority of voters. Since the majority fail to accept the self-evidence of what you believe, they must be either stupid, duped, misled, hate-filled, or part of the conspiracy.
OTOH, there is another simple explanation.
They looked at the candidates, looked at the respective records, looked at the respective visions and rejected your party's. But don't worry. The next election will provide your boys and girls with another opportunity at governance. If they lose, which is likely, the Repo-men will be writhing and gnashing their teeth blaming everybody but themselves.
