What's worse? The Bush Administration or his supporters?
Every day we see this country go downhill more and more, and we know who is responsible...and its' not homosexuals. bushCo has literally set off the end of the world as we know it in so many different ways, and yet the thing that scares me the most is 40-50% of Americans still stand by him (according to the "polls").

They, are what I fear the most. If that large a percent of our population can be so willingly stupid, and blind to the world around them, I have to believe that they will be the downfall of our society no matter who is in the white house.

When the hell are those people gonna wake the fuck up?

1. the supporters, Bush and CO made no bones about what goofballs
they were once they were in power. People who support them 4 years later are either criminal or criminally stupid

i can give everyone a pass in 2000 cuz most of us (including Gore) had no idea what we were in for, but today there is no excuse

6. Amen......
People better realize the ramifications for international relations if this administration gets reselected. Not a good prognosis. We best remember that wars can be won and lost in the trading pit as well as on the battlefield.

2. The supporters easily. At least we know where Bushco stands..
..and what they want. They are simply doing what they can get away with. The morons who let them get away with it are enablers which is much worse.

3. Supporters
If Bushco didn't have any supporter then they wouldn't be able to get away with so many things. So I would say it's the Dumb *SS supporters.

If he didn't have his supporters he would have been impeached right after 9/11 for sitting in the class.

4. There is no "worse" they're all bad. And I would add...
the Media, for presenting a wholely one-sided propaganda campaign to mislead the public and cheer on the death and destruction.

Be shamed.

7. I can't stand their supporters
I have friends who are Republicans that are decent people, but some of them are so brain washed that I'm beginning to get scared.

I'm like why do you support Bush? They respond by saying something like Kerry will destroy small business and that they support the war on terror.

It's scary, folks.

9. Have courage.
They want you to fear. Do not show them any fear. Do not play into their hands. We will take back this country from the usurpers. We will defeat the liars.

We have a lot of veterans on our side.
I am one of them.

12. Bushco are the evil ones - they are manipulating the stupid
supporters for their own gain. To say otherwise is like saying the German people were evil and Hitler was less so.

14. Bush. The buck stops with Bush. People emulate their leaders.
Bush leads like Hitler, thus his followers behave like Nazi soldiers.

15. Easily his supporters
People like Bush, Rumsfeld, and Ashcroft are never going to go away. It's their supporters who enable them to wreak havoc upon the rest of the world.

16. The Bush administration wouldn't even exist
without the supporters. I sometimes think that Bushco is more of a symptom than the actual disease. Whether or not you want to admit it, he is a reflection of the values and beliefs of a vast sector of the American population. That's why this country is still going to be in big trouble even after this administration is gone.

17. Germany 1930's USA 2000
It took most Germans 20 years and total defeat. Hopefully it will take us much less time.
