Thaiquila, I didn't call you stupid. I called you arrogant.
But I know it is the leftist ideology possessing you that drives your attempt to put words in my mouth.

You are totally wrong.
There are indeed political leaders in the world that represent a wider constituency than bush in their countries.
We certainly have examples in the US as well: FDR comes to mind.
In today's world, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil comes to mind.
If you actually think he isn't more interested into those who have granted him political power, then go ahead and keep those blinders on.
Besides, what makes other rulers any more sanctioned than Bush? Popular opinion has little do with it. Popular opinion has caused some of the worse atrocities in the world.
OH, I get it now. You think ANY ruler is more sanctioned than Bush, because anybody who doesn't agree with you is stupid and therefore doesn't count. Your constituency only applies to those who share your conclusions. The world is bigger than you, TQ.
I feel sorry for you.
And to add to what you said, so that people won't get blind-sided with your half-truth. FDR did give us social security, yes. But he never intended for it to become an entitlement program costing the tax-payers such a large part of the national budget. It is now a behemoth, and I'll wager the farm that he would be appalled at what the socialist-clothed-in-Democrat/Republican garb have morphed it into.
