Why is usually pretty basic. It's ideology. The extreme Right Wing Bush represents, and make no mistake about it he does, is all about ideology. People may try to spout one reason or another but their arguments will always boil down to idealogical reasons instead of intellectual ones. They will pull out the 'he kicks much ass' reason without any real appreciation of how conficits develop, dictators rise and fall, and how terrorism is really supported. They'll also use reasons like "because I keep my money with taxes" with absolutly no clue what deficits mean and the potential harm of a collapsing infrastructure due to it. The third most common theme you'll hear will always revolve around pure ideology and include BS claims about moral leadership, or honestly, or even on the extreme end about returning God to the country.
I think people see this election as a pivitol point in our history because it probably it. The crossroad we're standing at as a nation is to take the road of reason or take the road of ideology, and really isn't that always the beginning of any great turn in history. I choose the road of reason myself.
