Bush

All my favorite political pundits are notorious for pointing fingers at the trailer trash set as the ones who think Bush is a great president, a good man, a man of "faith" and all that useless drivel that doesn't qualify a person to be the leader of the free world.

The scary truth is that the people who put him in office & who kept him there, are not sleeping with their sisters. They are graduates of well known universities, they sold you your house, they're not sitting in their pickup listening to bad country music. (OK, maybe they listen to country.)

That is what confounds me, what makes me want to bang my head against the wall, scream in frustration. When will Americans understand the truth about politics?

They want to be blind. I'm convinced of it.
They don't want to really think about the truth because it's too much damn work. And it hurts.

How can you start a revolution when there is soccer practice & water parks to go to? Who really cares when it's not your son coming home in a body bag? For what- does anyone really believe in their hearts that violence will beget peace?
We have become a mob mentality (or maybe we have always been)& just because everyone is jumping on the Bush- sucks bandwagon now doesn't mean they wouldn't jump on the let's-start-a-new-war one in a few years hence when things have calmed down a bit.

It seems Americans have the most pathetic short term memory.
