Thanks
Of course you are, I told you, it's ALWAYS the jews, or the nazis, or the masons, or 12 foot lizard people, aliens, or Bush!
I remember when I was... around ten or eleven years old, and I was arguing with my sister, as brothers and sisters are prone to do at that age.
We were on vacation, at the coast somewhere, exactly where escapes me, right now, but there we were, arguing away, and the argument was starting to get annoying, and my sister was getting very annoying, so I yelled at her:
"YOU FUCKIN' SUCK!!!"
It couldn't have been worse timing, as my parents walked into the room, right at that minute.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"Nothing..."
"YOU WILL NOT USE LANGUAGE LIKE THAT!"
"But she did..."
"THAT IS NO EXCUSE!"
& he was right, it was no excuse, I had no genuine defense, trying to blame my sister, but it's what a kid does at that age.
Yes, Bush was an odious man, and he did a lot of things that are quite inexcusable, but as I hinted above, the Bush family has been notorious for over 100 years, so it's not like people weren't forewarned, and Bush was re-elected, in 2004, so it's not like, having made an initial "mistake", America didn't do it again.
Like I said, people get the President they deserve.
Bush didn't just walk into the White House, and take the job, he was elected, and he was elected after a campaign that was heavily funded, so it's not just about one man, it's about virtually every man, and woman, in the country.
All those who campaigned for him, all those who funded him, all those who voted for him, all those who purchased goods from the people who funded him, those that were apathetic, etc., et.c, etc.
Even those that voted "against" him can't exactly claim to have clean hands, I mean, with his record, what sort of opposition was needed to beat him in 2004?
I saw an interesting peice of correspondence last November, from a senior Republican, talking about the election, and the defeat of McCain.
I can't remember it verbatim, but it was saying that, during the primaries, it became clear that the Democrats would select Obama, or Clinton, both were Democrats, so 50% of the population wouldn't vote for them, even if their lives depended on it, and Obama was black, and Clinton was a woman, so there were others who would never vote for them, even if their lives depended on it, so all the Republicans had to do was pick a credible candidate, and distance him from Bush, and they'd have a shoe-in, but instead they picked McCain.
Ok, that's a bit of an over generalization, but the point is that this Republican was looking for his party to take "part of the blame", and I think it's the same in the case of the Bush elections, the opposition has to take at least part of the blame as well.
I mean if Bush was bad, then how come they couldn't defeat him in a simple democratic election?
& I think that just about covers all of America, every single person has a little bit of blood on their hands.
It's easy to get angry, and scream "Hang Bush the traitor!", but it takes a little something extra to say "Hang on, how did this happen, and what part did I play in this?"
How many people, between 2000 and 2004, drove home in their GM car, fuelled on Exxon gas, paid for from their Bank of America account, to their home, got inside, openned the FedEx parcel that had arrived, checked the answer phone, on their AT & T line, cracked open a Budweiser, turned on their General Electric light bulb, switched on their TV, watched a Time Warner show, or a Disney DVD, before turning on their computer, with it's Microsoft operating system, and coming online to bitch about Bush?
Because everyone who did one, or more, of the things above, contributed to Bush's campaign.
That's a lot of people to arrest...
