For a majority of Americans -- those who did not vote for George W. Bush the first time -- democracy has failed to deliver on its promise that the candidate with the most votes wins. And those who voted for the president -- a minority -- did not get what they were promised, either. Their candidate, who ran on a platform of plain-truth government, fiscal conservatism, and a safe foreign policy, turned out to be a reckless, aggressive, big-spending president who delivered the largest federal deficit in history and the most controversial war since Vietnam.
