       Two days after his apparent re-election victory, Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto President George W. Bush (having received an unlawful advantage of 52 ineligible Electoral votes) says to the national press corps, “When you win, there is a feeling that the people have spoken and embraced your point of view … and the people made it clear what they wanted.”
