We can rant and rave all we want about how Bush is not the voice of the people....but we DID elect him. > (while Bush won over 50% of the vote it was 50% of 61% percent of the > population that voted leaving about 75% who didn't vote for him) But if Bush is so evil, and so obviously the wrong leader for America....why was he still elected? We all share some responsibility, both good and bad, for our leaders. > > There are Americans who think like you perceive that we do, but they are > in > the vast minority I agree, and that's because even though Bush was elected to lead America politically, he's never been granted title of "Voice of America", especially when it comes to specific character traits like arrogance or intelligence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:190897 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
