    Because a lot of Americans are intellectually dishonest! They have a hidden agenda as well. So why not let someone else carry out what they truly believe, so that they can continue to hide and not get blamed, or have to take responsibility for anything! Bush is the perfect person for their mission!

    OH OH OH.. You have asked a questions that I have been searching for an answer for a very long time. Why, in the case of Senator Kennedy or Senator John McCain(just to name two of hundreds of corruptors) do they keep being put back into office? Don't people know that they are corrupt.. they are unqualified... they are only in it for personal power greed..??? There are many many GOOD Americans capable of being Senator but why is it that only the corrupt, greedy and uneducated run for the office and WIN? If a bad person like McCain, Kennedy, Boxer, Friske, others re running, I just do not vote for them.. If their opposing candidates is also corrupt, I just do not vote for either of them. Americans do not realize that they CAN have power if they want but they just are not organized... they are not knowledgeable enough to start saying WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!

    because of the fact maximum folk merely ***** approximately what they are instructed to ***** approximately. except Rush Limbaugh and Fox information tell them to be outraged, they are no longer. So while they ensue to be conscious that their earnings is flat, they have plenty debt they are able to't shop something, their scientific wellness insurance does not hide what's it is meant to or is taken away by technique of their enterprise, their little ones' college is overcrowded and ineffective and school is merely too costly to deliver them to, at maximum they are puzzled, or issue that there is a few Tony Robbins tape they have not bought that tells them a thank you to make adequate money to surmount those problems. yet while some demagogue on the radio tells them they want a 2 ton action picture prop of the ten Commandments of their courts, that gays marrying will magically make their little ones gay, or that letting a woman whose techniques has melted die, they're going to substitute into apoplectic even nonetheless none of those issues will impression their high quality of existence in any respect. you could contemplate whether some human beings does not be complaining approximately college prayer whilst their little ones are being bought into slavery and that they themselves are being marched into the gas chambers.
