30. The American people aren't stupid.
You can only lie to them for so long before they start to figure out what's happening and change their opinion.

IMO, this is about the growing shift away from the Republican Party. They're losing a lot of people - including me - because they don't support their traditional moderate base, but have shifted way, way, WAY far right.

The 'puke party also supports Bush in his treason, fraud, inaction when Americans are hurting, lying his way into war, etc... Reasonable people are not going to tolerate that for long. Even when they're rabid supporters, when they realize something is corrupt they want it fixed or they jump ship.

I still don't understand WHY Bush was so rabid to invade Iraq. If Saddam offered to turn the country over and leave, AND let inspectors have a field day - WTF did Bush STILL want to invade? Perhaps Bush is a BTK type President who gets his rocks off by bombing stuff? Maybe Daddy was egging him on?

The timing for Americans when the Iraq thing hit was all wrong - we were all still reeling and hurting from 911 - we WANTED to trust and support the President. Bush took advantage of us when we were most vulnerable as a people. I think as Americans wake up to that reality, Bush support will fall even more steeply. He kicked us while we were down - just as surely as 19 Saudi terrorists did.

All I can say is that when the 'puke corporate machine - including Hannity et al - starts losing major $$$ from Bush's disastrous leadership, the paybacks will be h*ll. I'm looking forward to the fireworks.

And every little injury I experience from 'puke corruption and gestapo tactics goes into my political paybacks file inside my head for later use in opposing these goons. I don't say this often, but they are TRULY evil.
