The Alternative Reality We lost the elections of 2004. That's a fact. For many Americans and most foreigners didn't a vote for Bush make sense. It was not primarily a question about Bush's political agenda but due to failed policies, lies, and flagrantly proven to be uninformed. It was a question of accountability.

How could the American people go the other way? Maybe the answer is in perception of the world and reality. It appear Bush supporters were wrong on key facts. Three thirds of Bush supporters believed in late October 2004, after the Duelfer report, that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or major such programs and supported al Qaeda. They also agree that America should not have gone to war if Iraq had no WMD or a link to al Qaeda. I guess Cheney's trail of misleading information and fear mongering paid off.
