Bush says his re-election affirms Iraq policy

jeez sorry.. wrong word.

@ hank... so you don't agree with everything...yet somehow Bush thinks you do because you voted for him....Isn't it part of the whole freedom thing that we make sure our leaders KNOW if the things they are doing are not the reason we voted for them?
for goodness sake the constitution allows us to bear arms against them (there is an amendment that needs inserting...I believe that should be removed)... All these people are doing is voicing through protest.

I've said it before....

Most Presidents make no difference in most of our daily lives.

Presidents affect soldiers, the rich, the elderly, and layman with various sweeping laws (FMLA - Clinton, abortion rights, gay rights, etc.).

That is why people vote party, not candidate.

That is why the election of Bush does not mean that people support his policies.

You'll be amazed.

Rich folk don't make up that much of the population.

Vid nowhere in my posts did I say they shouldn’t be allowed to protest, what I said is that it doesn’t accomplish anything. Screaming, yelling and holding up signs that are vulgar isn't a way of conveying the message that you are unhappy with the President’s performance. Did you not see the analogy in my other post? There is just no way that you can ever agree with everything a person does.

Hank

my first words said you don't agree with everything.....

on this board we chew the fat and express our pleasure or displeasure on given subjects, does it achieve anything?

Tell me how you would get your message across. Lobbying only works if the lobbyist has an agenda that fits with the person they are lobbying.

If it wasn't for protesters, some people still wouldn't have the vote and would still be segregated in some states.....The USA has a short history, so there isn't too much to forget about.

Edit:

do you think the protesters in the Ukraine accomplish nothing?

I really hope his quest for freedom does not end in the bloodshed and mess that threatens :(

actually what Americans think about the "quest for freedom" counts for nothing. The only view that counts is that of the people from the country being "set free"
