Consider the accomplishments of Bush-Cheney, and the only reasonable question is what took so long. Isolation from the US’ traditional allies, coddling private corporate interests at the expense of the public interest, aggrivating divisions between Americans for the sake of cyinical political gain, overextending the military, ballooning the national deficit while increasing US economic and energy dependence…. How much can an electorate take? “Fool me once….”
The item following the poll story is pretty interesting too….
“More on Republican support for religious discrimination against Jews, Moslems and another non-fundamentalist Christians at the Air force academy in Colorado Springs…” [with a link to a Forward article].

At the end of Bob Roberts a disturbing show of the power of bourgeois respectability is fleshed out: a clear majority of the American people oppose military action in every poll until (as is the procedure) the government “of the people” shopws it does not care what they think by going ahead anyway (often, referring to phantom support). Now the people abandon their convictions and line up to support the unnecessary murder and dismembering of the “troops” (the deaths of any non-Americans do not register). We see the same problem with this poll. There is this eerie resignation in the zombie populace, where they’re dimly aware that Bush is an embarassing imbicile, but not an evil man. You ask why to hate Bush and nistead of endangerment, torture and mass-murder you hear talk about his chronic inability to speak English.
