yeah, they are. our citizens don't have much faith in any portion of our govt right now. dems ran on the notion of change, but have changed nothing.
i think bushes biggest mistake (other than going into iraq) was in not rallying the citizens behind the whole war on terrorism. he made it sound like it would have no impact, don't worry, go about your business--so a lot of people really think if it's not worth worrying about, how can it be worth dying for? if we don't need to worry about it, why are we losing soldiers? is it a big deal or not?
and on the other hand, you have people who don't worry about it--and really don't know much about what's going on. so you have a pollster call, and ask do you think the war should end? why sure they answer. i have a hard time taking polls seriously, when many people in this country wouldn't know the pres if they bumped into him on the street, can't name the vp, or the speaker, or even half of the supreme court.
oh, but they know all about lindsay lohan or angelina....
