more the latter than the former
"In a rich society, no one should be allowed to suffer from deprivation such as homelessness, starvation and illness. This ideal is essential, not simply as a matter of human good, but as the price we pay for a measure of domestic tranquility."
John Kenneth Galbraith
I think a good portion of America has become intellectually lazy, heavily reliant on news snippets and one-liner zingers rather than facts. I don't think Bush is brilliant or even moderatetly intelligent. As a matter of fact I stand my assertion that he's barely one step above clinically retarded, perhaps a brilliant monkey at best- but I digress.
republicans in general have become brilliant at spinning and insinuating what they want people to believe is truth. The republican marketing machine is brilliant - not Bush. There was more than enough evidence in 2000 that gave us a prelude to Bush's proclivity to failure and then there were the 4 years of failures he had to stand on in 2004 . Despite all of this he was elected in 04, why? not because Kerry was so bad, but because the spin-meisters were so good.

Here's to the end of our two leading "tyrannical" political parties and the restoration of our government of the people, by the people, for the people.
We may not be nice, but at least we didn't vote for the devil himselfNow, now be nice. Oh wait, your a lib that is an absolute impossibility.

Got me.We may not be nice, but at least we didn't vote for the devil himself
Well, maybe not the devil himself, but a minion might be a good way of describing him.
Sorry, but if you guys had offered someone halfway decent... oh wait, we are talking about politicians. There is no such thing as a halfway decent politician. Hmmm, where do I go from here?

LOL! When I read "minion" I immediately thought of one of those half-headed soldier demons from Constantine. That would explain the Bushisms, certainly.Got me.

Actually Reginald Bush, George W's 2nd cousin, played one of those in the movie.
True story: if you play the DVD backwards in the 17th chapter, you can see George Bush in a T-shirt that says, "I stole both elections"
The repubs have become masters at convincing people that the democrats are far worse than the republicans are. They however have much more trouble selling their ideas to the people than the demoncrats do.
You had my respect up unitl you said .... "not because Kerry was so bad " now you talk about being intellectually lazy? ROFLMAO!!!
