No. Unfortunately not. They are just shutting up about it because they're embarrassed.
Though that was one of the first steps the country took to move past GWB (though unfortunately they moved to the right)... People becoming embarrassed to admit they voted for and/or supported him.
I can speak from personal experience as the first presidential election I voted in was 2004 and at that time I had just begun my deconversion process from Evangelical Christianity, and I voted for Bush.
I still cringe when I think about it. And it was within 4 years that I had become a progressive atheist. So maybe we're not entirely screwed (though these people don't seem to have the ability to think rationally that came to me naturally).
