The current situation is your lack of reading comprehension.
Twisted little rants and denials will not make this any easier. Now tell me, if THE PEOPLE were not pulling levers, who was then? Horses? Dogs? Plant life? Aliens? If you were to say that he was not elected by a majority of the people, you might have a case but I think that escaped you.

Bush lost the popular vote back in 2000, so he wasn't elected by the people. It happens that way - rarely, but it happens. That is fact and cannot be refuted.

No matter how you want to twist it, Bush was elected by the people via the voting process that the USA has in place. Sour grapes isn't going to change that. That is a fact plain and simple.

Before you pull out the sour grapes argument, you might want to ask which candidate I supported in 2000. I voted for Bush, not Gore. That doesn't change the fact that Gore won the popular vote. It's one of those freak circumstances that happens sometimes. Denial doesn't change that. It's a fact - plain and simple.

Not to mention, as derived from Bush's approval ratings, most people realized they had made a mistake after Bush drove this country into the ground.

I'm very disappointed in Bush, but I am one of those people who watch the actions of those I voted for closely. I don't understand those who think that their guy can do no wrong. These are politicians, and they all do wrong. They also do right as well.

The thing is Cristina, weve all been grouped in as either Democrats or Republicans, left or right, liberal or conservative. Its like a sports team, and lots of people get their feelings hurt when their side isn't looking so hot.

So Democrats are so quick to say Constitution Constitution when it comes to Enemy combatants however when the Constitution has it so the electoral college is in place you never mention it. Interesting.

What are you talking about Packers? I could say Republican are quick to say constitution when it makes their president get elected, but throw it out when it comes to torture of enemy combatants and when they passed the patriot act and took away our freedoms? Man you guys really don't have a leg to stand on.
