Say you hired someone to cut your lawn. But instead of doing what you hired him to do, he digs great big holes, tears out your flowerbed, spraypaints his name on the fence, and urinates on the pegonias.

That's a pretty weak analogy. Since you are likely the only one to hire someone to cut your yard then you can make whatever decision you want concerning who you hire. However in this case millions of people voted and the decision belongs to all of them. Those childish enough to throw away their vote and not vote deserve whatever they get anyway

In other words those who pack their bags and walk away have no complaint with whatever happens. You are obviously not happy with Bush, I am happy with him and think he is doing the best job he can do with the hand he was dealt. Besides I don't think I agree with all your agenda anyway so I probably ought to pack my bags if he gives you what you want. Only thing is I'm not childish enough to do that.

Ok, fine. Since you reject withholding votes in order to influence elected officials, maybe you could tell me your plan to hold them accountable.

Or is accountability not part of the equation, and we simply hand them a blank check?

Your argument crumbles under scrutiny. I did not vote for Bill Clinton, and felt quite justified in griping loud and long for 8 years.
