Some people are hard of hearing.
Unfortunately, because of the dumbing down of America over the past few decades, the average "Joe Schmo" doesn't take into consideration who is in charge of the House and Senate. All they know is that "Bush" is in charge and that everything that happens in the known universe is Bush's fault. To them, the vice president "Dick Cheney" is the guy that runs around shooting people with an horrible big gun and that they must be afraid, Very Afraid of anything Republican. Republicans are the purveyors of EVIL.
At least that is what I hear working in the belly of the beast, Hollywood.
Thank you my FRiend. Deaf ain’t the word for it!
