31. No, we DIDN'T vote them in.
Edited on Fri May-16-08 07:47 AM by tom_paine
Forget Florida 2000 and Ohio 2004 much?

Bushler has yet to be elected ONCE.

Having said that, we have been remiss (which is too tepid a word by about 1000X) to protect and defend the Republic that the Founding Fathers bequeathed us, when psychopathic, sociopathic tyrants came along and used an updated version of the Caesar-Hitler plan for turning Republics into tyrannies...to turn our Republic into a tyranny (a kinder and gentler one, for the moment).

So you are not entirly off the mark in your asertion that we have gotten the tyranny we deserve.

But it had nothing to do with us voting the Bushies in. They LOST in 2000 and 2004. They'll probably lose in 2008, but I have no confidence that we are going to stop the massive vote suppression, both manual and electronic, so get ready for Emperor McBush.
