I think that people who
experienced the bad side of Bush are wondering what the hell the rest of the country was thinking. (please ignore
the following grammatical debacle) I can guarantee to you that no homosexual woman with family of victims in the
9/11 attacks, with family of soldiers in the Iraq war, who lost her job in the last four years, who wasn't afraid
of terrorism, and with no religious affiliation voted for Bush.
I think that people who had no problems under
Bush are satisfied with the result (listed typical profile in another post).
It just goes to show you the,
"Yeah, but how does it affect me?" principle is the only one that matters. "Who cares if the administration
lies, the economy sucks, the deficit is enormous, there were wars in two different countries and our nation was
attacked? I have a job, no one is hurting me, I want to prevent those gay people from marrying because that law
doesn't harm me (a heterosexual) but saves me the uncomfort of having those types of people freely forming
families within my community, terrorists will never attack my area and if they even tried Bush would smash them to
hell beforehand, and I got a tax break! Hell, I'm better off than I was four years ago!"
People are
self-centered (can be a good and bad thing). When you look at it the way I described it above, I'm not even sure
I'm surprised he won anymore...sure, the world hates us and we're ruining democracy, but has that done a damn
thing to drastically harm 51% of the population individually? Not really.
As much as the above paragraph
sickens me, I have to admit that my life hasn't changed much, either. I don't think that means that the president
did a good job, however...
