But, see, the
reason it hasn't happened is because Bush is a first-termer. GOP values can't win elections, so they have to count on getting a lame-duck term to enact policies supported by, say, 30% of the populace. Maybe this is why the GOP has traditionally supported term limits --- if you're going out anyway, go out in a blaze of glory. The next candidate from your party will do your apologizing for you.
Slave, Club and Penske have no problem admitting their views can't command a majority. Yet they claim the GOP is the mainstream of American political thought. Go figure. Of course, the cognitive dissonance can be easily resolved by saying that millenial Christianity is at the mainstream of political thought in a sufficient number of swing states, making it possible for a numerical minority to serve its own interests without doing something unprincipled, like relying on the Constitution and the federal courts.
