Ärende: Re: Bush Vetoes Waterboarding Bill

People forget the circumstances behind that when they try to make it sound like
America actually wants Bush.  There's a lot of conservatives that don't even
want him.  There would probably be even more that would publicly admit it, if
it wasn't also an admittance that yet another member of their party is a
criminal.
 
Whether people want to admit it or not, Clinton did a fine job on our economy
during his two terms.  Better than any of the Republican presidents we had had
prior to that.  Whether you want to chalk it up to him being Democrat, or just
him as a man, that's up to you. But he did a fine job in that respect.  Well
come 2000, people weren't really sure what to do. Liberals and conservatives
both seemingly had good candidates at the time, and so the race was very close.
 
Well then came all the funny business.  The whole Florida voting problems,
along with election fraud in other places and things like that.  All the votes
were never truly counted.  But it's not that it matters, because you have to
remember that we still use the stupid Electoral College system, where the
popular vote is NOT the deciding factor in the end.  Even though the popular
vote went to Gore, Bush won the election.  And everything went downhill from
there.
 
After 9/11, the chances of Bush not getting re-elected were slim.  America has
almost always given wartime presidents another term.  They feel that person has
the most experience for the situation I guess.  Though one could argue that his
experience got us in a much worse shape than it should have been, but that's
another story.
 
And so, despite even more election fraud by Republicans found in 2004, Bush won
by a larger margin than in 2000, so one can only assume that he won "fair and
square" that time, due to the war aspect.  That doesn't mean that there wasn't
a large number of people unhappy about it.  And nowadays, Bush's approval
rating from the American public is one of the lowest of all times, if that
gives you any idea of what America truly thinks of him.
 
My point is, I hope people don't judge America too harshly for him being there.
 Sometimes it's out of one's control, despite this great "Democracy" of ours.

That's funny, because I prefer to do the same to goods made outside the US.
Problem is, we import so much stuff from other places where it's dirt cheap to
make due to their horrible labor laws, lower safety standards, lack of
insurance for workers, etc, that it's hard to find a store that doesn't
predominantly stock out-of-country goods, just due to them being able to make a
bigger profit on them.  It's kind of disappointing that pride in American
products is replaced by dollar signs, but what's a fellow to do.
