EUROPEANS, YOU ELECTED BUSH! | 2004-11-03
Bush's big victory here was a matter of a couple of percentage points.
Europeans forget the fact that Americans are human, too.
If France heard that Americans were insulting a candidate and demanding that he not be reelected, that man would be be reelected by a landslide. Europeans kept insulting Bush and saying that Americans had better not relect him.
We are not as silly as Europeans. In Europe that sort of demand by Americans that they vote against a sitting head of state would have given him a landslide.
In America, it just gave him a couple of percent.
We don't take Europeans as seriously as Europe takes us.
But that two percent was all that Bush needed. That two percent told Europe to go to hell.
