If Bush is unpopular, then why did us Republicans badly defeat the Democrats in 04'?

<p>DRJ4,</p>

<p>They were by no means in agreement on many things, but all of them seemed to generally fear state power, the encroachment of the state into personal lives, and the standing military.</p>

<p>I’m by no means the type to go live in some commune and train a militia (though I do secretly really want my own M4A1), I can’t help but worry. </p>

<p>This also makes it really hard for me to vote. Dems are too economically involved in our lives, GOP is too socially involved in our lives. :p</p>
