5. It helps when that "59,000,000 people"
is really only about 40,000,000 people. But there being that many stupid people is hard to grasp, as well...

7. They're not.
At least of good fraction of them aren't. And those that are(were), were disenfranchised.

10. They Are Not The Only "Dumb" Ones!
I'm not convinced they are much "dumber" than the millions of anti-Iraq war and pro-civil liberties people who voted for a pro-war and pro-Patriot Act candidate for President .... John Kerry!

12. You can't con an honest man.
The corporate sponsors, the dominionists, and the neocons, all see the will of the majority as a barrier to be overcome by lying to the people all the time. Bush supporters want and expect him to be dishonest---to the other guy. Now they are waking up and learning that he isn't just lying to other people.

14. Bomb people until they agree?!!!
You better do something fast to unload these clowns in Washington
I lived in the United States for some 14 years, went to school there and decided to get the hell out Dodge.

Europeans thought the American Electorate would wise up.

Spaniards,Italians Austrians, Germans and most everyone else here are no longer amused by the "smirking chimp".

We like Americans (at least the ones who have not gone over the edge, such as James Dobson). It is the Bushes, the Roves, the Cheneys we detest.

But, if this continues we will say, OK Guys, bail yourselves out. You caused the problems. Now solve them on you own.

Europeans have witnessed hundreds of wars. We learned our lesson.
Seems as Bush thinks you can bomb people into agreeing with you. Never work!

The only thing keeping us together now is the almighty dollar and it is slowly sinking into the sunset.

By the way, Bolden(Bolten) is a sorry excuse for a nomination to the UN. The UGLY AMERICAN!!!

15. Are you sure it's 59,000,000??
Me, I think Diebold made up some of those voters - especially in Ohio, Florida, Georgia, etc. They'd have done it in California, too, if local election officials didn't shut them down.
