1. I remember it well....Clinton's approval at 73% during impeachment
Edited on Mon Sep-19-05 12:17 PM by loudsue
But to listen to the mainstream media liars, you'd think Clinton shamed the whole nation, and booosh is god.

THAT is what irks me so much about freepers...thinking they're the majority, because they believe what the republican press tells them.

On edit: And if THAT doesn't tell you something about rigged elections, nothing does!

:kick:

2. With the checks and balances
Edited on Mon Sep-19-05 12:28 PM by stellanoir
of governance shot completely to hell, our electoral integrity devastatingly impugned during the last three national elections, our representatives no longer are compelled to give a rat's ass about public opinion.

See taxation without representation for reference.

It's utterly frightening.

5. It is
They really don't care about us and we've seen that with New Orleans. They only cared when Bush's poll numbers started dropping and then after that they began not caring again except for a few photo-op's and making more money. *sigh* :( Mean while there are people really believe that Bush and the republicans have their intrest's at heart when they don't.

3. I guess when it comes right down to it, most people would rather have
a smart man that fudged about a blowjob, instead of stupid man whose job performance blows!
