So...

What's it like when your appointed officials don't care what the majority thinks or feels? How can someone who works for the American people think so little of them? Since 9/11, the Bush administration has pushed the "patriotic" term down the throats of many Americans who don't agree with them or just think "something" is wrong with this administration. I, for one, feel that Bush and his cronies are possibly the worst thing that has happened to America.

Now when Cheney was confronted on ABC's Good Morning America about the 2/3's of Americans who don't think that the war in Iraq is worth fighting, what do you suppose his response was? Not, "well we are taking the concerns of the country's people into account" or "that so many feel this way concerns me". No! His response was "SO!". SO. Are you fucking kidding me? And then when asked "so you don't care what the people think", he didn't try to correct himself. He said NO! How fucking arrogant can you be? This person who "works" for us can dismiss us so easily? How DARE you tell me that my opinion doesn't matter and how DARE you dismiss what the MAJORITY of the nation feels. To me this is unpatriotic!!

Here is his words of respect for the American people:

Raddatz: Two-thirds of Americans say it’s not worth fighting, and they’re looking at the value gain versus the cost in American lives, certainly, and Iraqi lives.

Cheney: So?

Raddatz: So — you don’t care what the American people think?

Cheney: No, I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. Think about what would have happened if Abraham Lincoln had paid attention to polls, if they had had polls during the Civil War. He never would have succeeded if he hadn’t had a clear objective, a vision for where he wanted to go, and he was willing to withstand the slings and arrows of the political wars in order to get there. And this President has been very courageous, very consistent, very determined to continue down the course we were on and to achieve our objective.
