This is HUGE!

For some reason there hasn't been a lot of talk about just how big a win this has been for Bush in particular and conservatives in general.

As mentioned already Bush has made advances in every area. And there are a ton of other highlights and records concerning his consecutive victories in the House & Senate, etc.

But it goes far beyond this. On paper Bush won the popular vote by 3%, but in reality he won it by a lot more than that. Why? Because the MSM is responsible for at least 10% of Kerry's 48%. Consider the following examples of the staggeringly biased approach of the MSM:
  • Kerry simply criticized everything Bush did and assured us that he had a better plan that Bush. And the MSM gave him a total pass. They never bothered to ask him what his "better plans" were. Any idiot can criticize the current approach and say he has a better plan. And, in this case, any idiot did. And the MSM let him away with it. Want an example? How about everything? Kerry kept assuring us that he had a better plan for Iraq, but was never required to spell it out. Or how about Yucca Mountain? Kerry opposed building a nuclear waste repository there (well, actually he supported it until he decided to run for prez ... "I actually voted for Yucca before I voted against it" kind of thing). But did the media ever ask him what he'd do with the nuclear waste? Was it just going to evaporate under a Kerry presidency?
  • Every whacko Kerry accusation against Bush was given the full-court press by the MSM. "Bush is going to reinstate the draft!" A total lie. Not even a shred of evidence. In fact, the evidence was quite the opposite - it was Kerry who was insisting we need to increase the size of the military, and it was Democrats in the Senate who were proposing such legislation. And yet the MSM ran with it. Same with Kerry's social security lies. Every scare tactic Kerry could dream up the MSM latched on to and helped him propagate it.
  • Kerry also got a pass on every one of his problems. Think about it. The media goes psycho and drools because one guy can produce fake memos to the effect that Bush missed a physical 30 years ago. And this is headline news for days and days and days. Even if it were true, it's a complete none issue. But 200 Swfit Vets come out to testify that Kerry is lying about his service in Vietnam and the MSM ignores them. In an unbiased world, the Swift Vets would have received 100 times the attention as the fake memos because a) their accusations were far more serious, b) their accusations had far more evidence to back them up (hundreds of eye witnesses as opposed to no evidence at all), and c) Kerry had chosen to make his Vietnam service the centerpiece of his candidacy, whereas George Bush never played down his TANG service. But instead the MSM everything on its head and gives 100 times the attention to the trivial and irrelevant lies than to the serious and factual truth. Or how about the fact that Kerry is a self-admitted war criminal? And no-one in the MSM ever took him to task on it?
For these and other reasons, the MSM contributed to at least 10% of Kerry's 48%. With an unbiased media the final vote would have 61-38 or even better.

The MSM pulled out all the stops to sink Bush and Bush still won.

Huge. This is huge.
