2. Bush's approval rating was below 49% before the election....
...then it was forced up by the poll takers (manipulated up I mean) now it is back where it really was supposed to be. The election clearly was stolen and the people know this fact.

4. Kerry said he'd stop the terra alerts if elected
Maybe repubs agreed with the idea.

8. Proving my point
They don't need the terror right now. They WON! Biding their time until it's really useful-like to justify the next war or raping of civil liberties. Give 'em a year.

9. Yes, it has been awfully "quiet" since the "election"
Repugs are so transparent. It would appear that they don't even try to conceal their disgusting agenda anymore. They got what they wanted: another term. Those alerts were there to keep the fear instilled in the country. It's soooo obvious. They probably wouldn't even bother denying it.

The past number of years they've been pushing the envelope-- seeing how much they could get away with-- and no one yelled STOP!! (At least, as a force to be reckoned with.) So they keep pushing the limits and will continue doing so until someone does put up a fight.

I never knew this country (as a whole) was so complacent, uncomplaining, gullible, and downright stupid. I am blown away by it. We must be the laughingstock of the world-- in fact, I know we are.

Why the Dems in Congress didn't stand up as one when they had the chance is beyond me.

5. C'mon that's SO 2004
They "won" the election. They don't really care if the Chimp is liked-they may even prefer him being disliked. It's more fun to be evil and they know the joke is on us.

Of course, maybe Chimp in Chief doesn't really know he's disliked anyway-he never reads. They told him he had a mandate-and dammit he has a mandate. They don't have to live in reality when they just make it up.
