That's why it's called wishful thinking. When was the last time any

Hmmmm, I think his father was a one-term president.

You don't really like to stay in context, do you?

His father went back on his word about taxes. The Democrats got people to
believe that the economy was bad, which was a lie. There is more an varied
news media now, than then.

The current Bush holds the record IIRC for highest sustained job approval
ratings.

Polling shows that suport for his stand in Iraq has INCREASED.

The tax cuts worked.

The Democrats have moved to far to left. They have nothing new to offer.

Bush has outflanked them on every issue they used to own, plus the fact that
Democrats are a major reason for the weakness we had in our miltary and
intelligence gathering capabilities because they voted against every bill
that would have helped the U.S. be prepared are widely known.

The context of this upcoming election is very different from his father's.
