Too bad, isn't it, that nobody outside the footprint of Fox News will believe the claim. Check out my most recent post on A.A. Cynic that I am, I think you over estimate people. Red neck America, his supporters, love Bush. He can shoot them in the foot, in both feet, and they'd say thanks. In fact, he did shoot them in the feet and they praise God he's in the White House. Forget that because of him we're broke and in debt and being stepped on in Iraq and only slightly more secure than on 9/12 and paying more taxes and all the rest of it. People are so stupid they elected him because he's "tough on terror" when he did nothing to prevent 9/11. And now his do-nothing yes woman is Secretary of State. What a man. And what a populace.
