Do You Trust the "American People" to do the Right Thing?

[bobd]

Do you actually really trust them to throw out the cabal? Do they have the intestinal fortitude to do it or do they remain too frightened to make the changes necessary to retain our failing democracy?

Remember - the "American People" put the cabal into power by shrugging their shoulders and acquiescing to the 2000 coup. The "American People" keep the cabal in power by not demanding their accountability. The "American People" keep the cabal in power by caring only about their SUVs, pickups, NASCAR, sports, beer, etc.

If you do trust them to do what's right - then please answer me this:

What will your opinion of them be if the cabal is returned to power in 2004? What will happen then?

1. Not One Tiny Bit...

I don't trust the masses to do anything except what they are told. They have bought that GW is a "good Christian". They have bought the Iraq/9-11 lie. They buy every lie they are told.

What I think will happen if they take over again in 2003 is best described in this article by Ernest Partridge on Liberal Slant on 7/8/03: http://www.liberalslant.com/ep070803.htm

2. Thanks for that Partridge link. It is a terrifying "must read."

3. No kidding...

I spent the whole day after reading this the first time sickened at the real possibility of the whole thing going down just like that.

4. That's the obvious, yet exaggerated result

of this administration's policies. I read that some time ago and it has stuck with me as well.

In a Bush Stronghold, Some Are Losing Heart

(snip)

Even here in Republican-dominated Greene County — where an obstetrician put a "Support President Bush and Our Troops" sign in his waiting room last spring and got requests for 100 like it — there are growing misgivings about the costs of lives and dollars in Iraq.

"I won't vote for Bush again," said Penny Fox, 47, who opened Fox's Antiques and Such off Main Street in May but kept her part-time job at Kmart just in case. "He just came on too powerful, too gung-ho, too cocky."

(snip)
Just about everyone here knows of a soldier overseas. The City of Xenia paid $300,000 in overtime to plug vacancies from employees called to reserve service. Eighteen photos of soldiers in Iraq hang in the lobby of the Xenia Daily Gazette.

Pictures of two of Fox's friends from Kmart are there. Their unhappiness is evident from their letters.

7. No, but there is always the outside chance that we are wrong

The American People have surprised before, and maybe this will be one of those times.

But I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.

They might even vote Emperor Bunnypants* out of office, but how could we tell if they did?

In 2005, I don't suepct anything, including "losing" the "election" will keep Bunnypants* off the throne.
