Reply #8: "How something like this does not spark outrage..."

[Brotherjohn]

I don't think it necessarily sparks outrage, but it definitely registers. That's why his poll numbers are in such a precipitous decline.

Among progressives and democrats, it may spark outrage. But we're already familiar with the Bush ways. We have more background which counters what Bush says.

Among the general populace, however, most people are less informed and/or pre-disposed to believe what Bush says simply because he is their leader (especially at times of "war"). His own words, however, are sinking him with that crowd, too, although it is not so much outrage as disappointment. It is hard to admit you've been had, especially when the quagmire of Iraq is the result.

You can cut and paste my post wherever you wish. It's not a letter I got from anywhere, but my own writing. But if you do so, please keep it anonymous. I live in a real right wing enclave, and if my name gets out as some liberal "columnist", I have legitimate fears for the safety of my family. What a great nation Bush's America is, huh?
