    Voter Responsibility!

    I am like the ones who not only blame Bush but the idiots who voted for him too! Not only once but twice. When in all reality they knew just how terrible he was the second time around. But, like my son went ahead and voted for him anyway because he deluded himself there was no one else to vote for. Well, there is always someone else to vote for. You can even leave it blank and have your other votes counted (I have asked before when I voted). These people bare the vast majority of the responsibility for the mess we are in today. All Bush had to was mention he was Christian and all the religious nuts flocked to him in droves. Instantly forgeting about his lies in regards to starting a unnecessary war because he was going to make abortion illegal. Now that is really a more important issue than people getting killed due to an unnecessary war. When being a Christian is literally your only qualification for the job. What do people expect? But, a economic and social disaster that is unparalleled.
