Reply #24: My take on this......

many, many of the people who voted for this idiot and his administration are the ones who are too stupid to see beforehand how his policies are ALL a detriment to the strength of our economy and they are the ones who will only learn when it hits them squarely in the pocketbook. More than anything else in this country, I think the bread and butter issues are what the average person understands. They don't see the connections between foreign policy or the world's opinion of us and how that is a detriment. But even the most ignorant can see when they can't pay their bills or lose their jobs that something "ain't right in Denmark."

Having said all that, I thought they would see that before the election what with 4 years of a rotten economy, but the mainstream media propped Bush up and brainwashed people who rely on them for info into thinking things were great. It takes some people a very long time to "get it."

I, for one, think we need a real wake-up call for the general populace with regards to our emphasis on over-consumption of everything!
