I think I must be the only one on here who, if an American citizen, would vote Republican.

... oh yeah. They are to blame. No, I think that's sort of what aplinestars and myself were doing. Just not limiting blame to them.

So, I am not a citizen of the US, but I live here.
What I have noticed, like no other country I have been in (and I have spent time in a few places), is the powerlessness that most people feel over their government.

People, well, essentially everyone I meet are mortified and disgusted by Bush. There are protests, there are talk shows, and films, and Documentaries on HBO and things, but no one feels like they have any control over whats happening here. Everyone just shakes their head, say its a dark time, and ring their hands a bit.

There is no question that he should be impeached, that they should be out on their ear, but, amazingly enough, they win election after election.

And I think they will probably win this one coming up.
I think I know why. The Republican party is clearly a xenophobic, fear mongering, lowest common denominator sort of group. They have attached the idea that they are defending the country against non christian values, and you are a pussy if you dont vote for them.
Once you get this idea buried into peoples heads, then it becomes hard to vote against them, because what you are told is you are voting against God, and voting against keeping the US safe (from these unknown mysterious foreign people). Since the vast majority of US people dont have passports (~82%),, let alone have ever stepped outside the country, these foreign people are free to be scary.
You are absolutely right. I live in a college town full of liberal students, who for the most part don't vote. It's ridiculous. But the reason most people feel powerless to get rid of bush is because most people are under the impression that he never won the election in the first place. So if he didn't actually win, and Bush is in power, how can anyone get him out of power? It's all very stupid, and I'm just hoping for someone better. Like Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton will lose the election for them if they run her.
She would be a very good president, better than Bill, but she would never win.

It's that simple.
