The real crime is that she was and continues to play politics with this tragedy rather than honestly trying to help people. The dems automatically assume this of Bush because it is they who ALWAYS put political interests ahead of the good of the people. And because that's the way they think first off, they think the pubbies do too. They just don't understand that there are some in this world who do things because they're the right things to do, not "what impact will that have on me politically?". I think that's the primary difference between the actions of the dems and those of the pubbies.
And the first thing out of the dems' mouths is to make public accusations against Bush. They always look before they leap, jump to conclusions before they get their facts. Will the sheeple wake up for the 2006 elections? Honestly, I doubt it. There are too many people who have been taught by liberal-minded teachers and who are beneficiaries of the "do it for me" mentality, the "government will protect us, we don't need weapons for self-defense" attitudes.
It just torques me off the way the masses are so ignorant and self-serving.
Our job is not to sit and criticize, because that doesn't get anything but the press reporting the most extreme actions, because that's what draws listeners. The thing we need to do is accept who our opposition is, and figure out ways to finesse them so we can get back some responsible leadership.
The press exists as a sort of voice of the mob that effectively prevents any leadership. Granted, it puts its own words and liberal opinions in the mouth of the mob - had press coverage had a different slant, the mob would be busy screaming different slogans today, but these slogans would in any case all have been orchestrated by the press.
Leadership is possible if a leader jumps up right away and starts to leave, but once the press has got the mob machine up and running, it's all over.
