Do you think the Bush administration treats you as a thinking and analytical individual? Please explain your response.
Please, no cop outs, such as this administration doesn't treat us any different than any other administrations.

Does this administration even care about what others think?



I'm not part of the 24% of his base!

No, they treat us as if we have the same 90 idiot-savant IQ of Dubya.....The propaganda about healthcare promoted by this Administration is a digrace , as is this entire sham of a war......Bush owns 98,000 acres in Venezuela (prime oil territory) he is in league with the devil....and lied to all of us.

Bush is in bed with criminals and they (criminals) don’t ever give a damn about victims!

There has never been one thing that he has don’t for the American people other then screw them and enjoy a good laugh about it behind closed doors. Just a look at how many of his appointed cronies had to leave Washington over the several years or so is a sign of his (Bush) poor judgment in running the country. He’s the only president who lost a “city” to a natural disaster with little or nothing done to help the people in New Orleans.

Good question, but that's a hard one for me to answer as I'm not sure what the question really means.

Has any administration treated the US population as "thinking and analytical". If so, what specifically did they do to make that happen?

People slammed Clinton for his 'lying' over the Monica Lewinsky mess------yet, the man's approval rating was still above 50%.

Now; take a look @ Bush's ca. 25%

Bill lied about a personal matter that affected no one else, George lied about so many things that it’s not funny anymore – in fact it’s been killing too some people.

I don't think any politician in Washington really cares in any way about individuals. They look at voting blocks. Not individuals. Even when they can't be reelected like Bush, it's just the way they are programmed to think.

Any adminstration that promotes the free market over statism can be considered as treating its constituents as "thinking and analytical" individuals, a requirement in such an economy. Since the Bush Administration has done so more often than the previous administration, I would answer with a qualified "yes". In contrast, a Hillary Administration would do just the opposite and treat Americans as children who need to be provided all of their needs.

Free markets frequently fail. Are we all just supposed to sit around and take our lumps in that situation because there are a few people who still like to play the Mr. Rugged Individualist Game?
