I am simply amazed that these 2 are still in the white house. The last poll I read said that they approval rating was at or around 35%. If everyone really dislikes what they are doing, how come more people aren’t screaming for impeachment?
Perhaps the reason they are still in office is because they are counting (correctly) on our American laziness. They know that in a few days, even a few hours, this will be largely forgotten. Its like screaming “That sucks!” at the TV and then flipping the channel. Its sad our attention span has been reduced to only whats in front of our faces.
Abe Lincoln’s ratings got down to between 17 & 29% depending on the source. Funny how unpopular action in place of words are at the time they are being taken.
Unpopular actions or not, all I know is that my sister and brother in law dont want to go back to Iraq. And Bush saying he’ll veto anything that calls for extraction pisses off a lot of troops and their families.
Although I still think also that he plays the people’s emotions (usually) well and we as a whole arent really seeing it.
And I’m sure there were people in the Civil War that felt pretty strongly about why the things that were happening at the time were not a good thing either. Looking back though, I don’t know too many people that think we should have let the South have their way.
The point is: nobody ever likes to do things that are hard to do (It’s human nature… something to do with cavemen I’m sure). Does that mean they should not be done? Think about taking the garbage out or picking the dog crap up. Sure sucks to do at the time and theres nothing wrong with bitching a little while your doing it but it would suck even worse if it didn’t get done.
I can understand that. But what, exactly, was supposed to be done in Iraq? There were no weapons. No nukes. The only thing there is oil (which we can really do without now, if you think about it). So since we basically conquered them will oil prices drop?
So what, besides Hussien being hung, did we get out of this war?
(that isn’t a quip or anything, I really dont know anymore why we invaded in the first place. terrorism?)
Ever used a “bug zapper”? Same basic principle.
