Impolite Question

Did the people elect George W. Bush in 2000 (well, semi-elect) and then re-elect him in 2004 to run up the biggest deficits in history, loosen environmental guidelines to allow more pollution, increase corporate welfare by umpteen billions of dollars, blur the formerly inviolate lines between church and state, allow 45 million working Americans to live without health insurance, start a new doctrine of preemptive war, mishandle the military and diplomatic missions attached to that war, turn America from a respected super-nation into a resented super-bully, and keep the homosexuals down?

Well, at least one of those things, the one that’s obviously much more important to some people than all the others.
