What. The. Fuck....

OK. First off, I have alot of online friends that are from the US. And I love you all.

But...

With that said, americans are fucking insane! As a people. How the hell could you let Bush sit on his throne??? Now how wants to build military bases in EUROPE! And let me tell you, he is not popular here.

[livejournal.com profile] misswitch pointed me the way to some really interesting articles on the matter in her post right here. Seriously... In her post there, I found a link to a very interesting blogg post on another bloggsite with some very interesting insights on the subject. You can read it here. And the article she is discussing you can see here.

Read it. And then put Bush where he belongs. In a mental institution.

Edit: Fixed all the things I misspelled.

Hey, we tried to get rid of The Shrub, believe me!

Personally, I have a theory that he's trying to warmonger enough so that he has just cause to suspend the 2008 presidential elections. (I'm not sure of the right word, but there's a "clause" in the Constitution that allows for that in unstable times.) That's just my personal theory, but c'mon, the man is not acting like someone who is planning on leaving office.

Blame the fucking electoral college idiots. If it weren't for them, he would never have even been president and it would be Al Gore instead, who won the popular vote the first time Bush was elected. At least he's somewhat sane. To be honest: Bush isn't popular here either. The only reason he won the second election was because John Kerry was an idiot, but even I'd prefer him to "The Madness of King George" we've been playing out for the past 7 years.
I want to know how anyone can come up with a logical excuse to vote for a man who runs into a tree while riding his bike or uses nonexistant words like "misunderestimated"

He's not so popular here either

It is unbearably frustrating. Trouble is, what do you do? We could attempt to convince the House to impeach him - if he was convicted, my understanding is that we would end up with President Cheney, and that is certainly no better. There was a movement to impeach him too, but I don't think it got off the ground.

Also, considering how quickly things don't move at government speed, we're almost better off just waiting for the next election. I wish the Democrats had better (meaning white male) candidates to offer - I'm not convinced that a woman (Hillary Clinton) or a black man (Barak Obama) will garner enough votes to win, on the basis of gender and race alone. Because too many Americans really are that stupid and biased. (I hope I'm wrong. I really really do.) (Stephen Colbert is running. He'd do a better job than half the yahoos out there.)

Fox News is idiotic. I can't even bear to read/watch anything that comes from them. Seriously, the last time I watched Fox News, I think I lost a few IQ points.

America is a very very divided nation right now. I write to my congresspeople, and I know my friends do too. We're not all of us crazy. True Majority (http://www.truemajority.com/) is a grassroots group dedicated to making America better - getting out of Iraq, actually doing something about global warming, health care, etc. I'm a member, and sometimes, it actually works.

I can't imagine Bush has the political clout to push that through at this point. The amount of political and popular support he has right now is minimal. Primary season for the next election begins in a few months and when you look at who the Republican front-runner is, it's clear that even the Republican base is in no mood for a repeat of Bush.

I wish he wasn't popular with the people in power in Britain either. They've obviously learnt nothing from Afghanistan and Iraq :(

And as for the suggestion that Al-Qaeda is responsible for the fires in California, I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
