Just As I Thought

And now…?

As Bush’s poll numbers drop into a deep, dark hole, I just wonder: all those people who supported and voted for this horrific man, what do you think of him now?
Like, relatives of mine. Parents, even. Friends. What do you say to my insight back in 2000 when I warned you about him? Hmm?
I feel like I should be smug about my 2000 vote for Gore and my 2004 vote for Kerry; but it’s hard to be smug when the economy keeps crashing, people keep dying in unjust wars, and the rich keep getting richer at the expense of the poor — and at the expense of the very people who put Bush into office. You know, the people who keep voting for Republicans even though they keep getting raped at high noon in the town square — the people who keep voting that way because they hope that one day, they’ll be doing the raping.
What do you think of your guy now?
