But did`nt you Yanks also believe in Bush at the time and got him voted into power as im pretty certain he never got there on his own  |
If you lived here you'd know that 99% of the population hates him (yes I pulled that number out of my ass, but it's probably closer to the true number than 0%). In fact Bush lost the popular vote last go round...remember all that re-counting?
Look... Most people in the USA are more concerned about getting through the day than they are about politics. A lot of people over here don't even vote...or hell they can't vote! I have plenty of friends that have a felony on their record and none of them are allowed to vote. ;/ Also for your information we didn't just vote for a new president last night...there were plenty of elections going...mainly ones relating to local and state governments.
There is plenty wrong with our system yes, but there is plenty of goods things in it as well. The good and the bad goes together. Everyone loves to bash Bush but we all know it wasn't just him that got us in the position we are in now.
BTW for the record I am not a god damned Yankee. I live in the south and do not want to be associated with them crazy people up North.
