Ok, so you think the people are stupid. I don't. The media fed them plenty of lines about Bush, and he won in 2004, didn't he? But so be it.
Do you think the 45 day waiting period was a good idea? do you think what congress did in killing it was bad ?
Yes, I do; in case you're forgotten, that "majority of the American public" is the same "American public" that we've been calling "sheep" around here for the last eight or so years.
Now they're smart?
In 2004, Bush wasn't being attacked by Conservatives repeating the media's lies. In 2006, many conservative talking heads seem to be a lot more willing to jump on the lying media's hit parade.
Yep, not all but many and I've seen it right here.
You cannot compare the duration of a presidential election to this deal. The question isn't stupidity the question is information and something that resembles thoughtful consideration.
