Some people absolutely refuse to admit that Bush has any flaw or has done anything wrong and other people merely resist admitting it. The first group is the the 33% to 40% of people who will suppport any republican regardless of any lies told or crimes committed. These people gladly eat shit when told to by republicans and claim that they really, really like it.

Concerning the people who resist admiting the truth about Bush, most of these people do not follow politics closely, if at all. Bush benfits from three phenomena with this group which all presidents have benefited from. The first is the assumption that he would not be the president if he was not qualified. The second is that since he is the president he must know much more about a given situation than they do. The third is the great reluctance of many people to believe that their president and their country would do evil things.
