1. I remember it well....Clinton's approval at 73% during impeachment

But to listen to the mainstream media liars, you'd think Clinton shamed the whole nation, and booosh is god.

THAT is what irks me so much about freepers...thinking they're the majority, because they believe what the republican press tells them.

On edit: And if THAT doesn't tell you something about rigged elections, nothing does!

:kick:

2. With the checks and balances

Edited on Mon Sep-19-05 12:28 PM by stellanoir

of governance shot completely to hell, our electoral integrity devastatingly impugned during the last three national elections, our representatives no longer are compelled to give a rat's ass about public opinion.

See taxation without representation for reference.

It's utterly frightening.

5. It is

They really don't care about us and we've seen that with New Orleans. They only cared when Bush's poll numbers started dropping and then after that they began not caring again except for a few photo-op's and making more money. *sigh* :( Mean while there are people really believe that Bush and the republicans have their intrest's at heart when they don't.
