I tuned in unexpectedly to him singing that song
on TV a couple of years ago and burst into tears.
I was startled to realize there was so much pain
left from that time.

Just for the record, the 90 percent approval rating
was not with regard to the invasion of Iraq; that
issue hadn't yet come up (at least not publicly).  At
that point the only issue was getting al Qaeda for the
9/11 attacks.

What's the point of voicing opposition, when the news clearly shows 
how stupid the justification and execution of this war is? You can 
fool all of the people some of the time (think of the day when Bush 
had 90% approval http://ask.yahoo.com/20051011.html ), but those 
days are over, and it's not necessary to say much of anything when 
any fool can read the paper and see how Bush's sorry thinking has 
created a problem with no solution. Since we have a free press, it's 
not really necessary for pols to say anything...

Right on. I'm disgusted with the lot of them. So,
obviously is that wonderful wordsmith from Texas,

I was trying to think of a bumper sticker to reflect my feelings 
these days in general; something along the lines of "Support the 
Republican Party and George Bush -- Elect a Democrat".

The issue crystalized for me after hearing again and again the Bush 
has *never* vetoed a spending bill. Obviously, not all of the 
spending bills are sponsored by the Republicans. Bush is in effect 
paying off the Democrats. And far more than stopping or questioning 
his misguided policies, they don't want the gravy train to end. They 
have all been bribed and bought into silence. Shame on the lot of 
them, except for literally a handful.

Especially now, with nearly 70% opposed to Bush, the Demos are 
keeping their mouths firmly shut with regard to any opposition.
