How many idiots can fit in a single country?
My God. Why do so many people, some of them in my own family, not give a shit about what this lying, treasonous, criminal bunch of fascists have done to this country? I use to think they were just naive, then sheeple, now I just think they are plain stupid.

2. I don't know--how much more illegal stuff can come out that
people just simply ignore or put up with. And the republican congress is complicit in all of it because they neglect their duty to check the executive branch.

14. Not miscounts. Votes switched by software designed to do that.

13. Yep. Europe even printed a story on the matter.
I think it was titled, "How can 59,054,087 people be so dumb."

16. This thread is full of people calling nearly 1/2 of the US stupid,
now it's also immature? I'm finding it hard to call 60 million american citizens stupid, and the country immature based on the last 6 years of history. The US is not perfect, not always correct, not even always fair. But what America IS, is the greatest country on the planet, and pointing out our faults and current corrupt leaders is easy. I am tired of hearing how awful the US is, how corrupt, morally bankrupt and criminal we are. That's BULLSHIT! Six years ago nobody would have expressed this opnion of us, but now since we have bush as leader we are a country full of idiots, and we are immature? Nothing lasts forever, the bushes will be gone and the table WILL turn back to level. I wonder if you will still think we are stupid and immature when the bushes are gone?

The US leads the world in EVERYTHING, that happened long before the bushes arrived, and I refuse to believe that one fucking family will destroy us, we will again be on top. But I can't agree that 1/2 of the country is stupid, or that we are immature. The US is in a bad way, but the US WILL recover, the bushes will be gone and then I suspect like "magic" all of a sudden we won't seem as immature and stupid when the world needs us again.

I wait to be banned, but I am not going to agree with anybody, anymore that the USA is stupid, immature, useless, or like the fucking nazi's. I belong to the greatest country the world has ever known, and I'm not going to let bush, or bush haters convince me otherwize.

24. I think I could ask you the same question,
If you are impling that the last six years define our history, past or present, then I might assume you either never respected the United States in the first place, -or- find it easy to use the US as a punching bag to vent your own frustrations. I am jumping to conclusions, but I'm guessing you are not from here?

In any case, I'm not going to get into an argunment over something that neither one of us will change our minds. We are in a low spot, and it will take a tremendous effort to undo what has been done by bush, but the people who hate us the most, and use the oportunity to take cheap shots, are usually the ones that will ask for help next, or more likley already being given aid by the US. There is more to United States history than 6 years of bush. What a wonderful time to call the United States imature, and our people stupid.

What criteria are you using?

Good luck where ever you are

5. Apparently, nearly 200 million.
(the number of Bush voters added to the number of people who didn't vote in 2004)

8. Today I saw a personalized plate on the
back of a junker that read JC4Me. Assume the person meant Jesus Christ because he also had a W04 sticker in the window. But the kicker was a second bumper sticker that read "Thinking is good for you." Where the hell did that one come from? No thinking person would have voted for the chimp in the first place. How many morons can fit in the US? Too many.

10. They don't care...
...because they think Bush is on their side. Apparently most people don't care about wrong-doings as long as it's not being done to them. They don't care about spying as long as they aren't the ones being spied on. They don't care about restricting rights as long as it's not their rights that are being restricted.

Put a Democratic president in there pulling all these stunts, and the right-wing loonies wouldn't have just impeached him already, one of the wacko's probably would have assassinated him by now.

23. They have us right where they want us..
With so many ignoramuses they can do as they please. New poll finds more than 60 % of Murkans support a preemptive strike on Iran. Are you fucking kidding me? After the entire Iraq deception?? How frickin' stupid are our fellow citizens?? Around 200 million sheep happily grazing while the wolves stalk them sounds about right to me. It might be time to start packing luggage.
