Keep The Customer Satisfied

Things are looking worse for BushCo:
By more than 2-to-1, those surveyed say things have gotten worse in the United States over the past five years. “I love my country, but we’re going the wrong way for sure,” says Faye Sherer, 59, of Salinas, Calif., who helps run a family produce company and was among those polled. “I don’t see the point in Iraq, when there were other countries going through worse atrocities and we did nothing to help them.”
Bush has strong defenders, to be sure, and views of the country’s course divide on partisan lines. Chris DeCaro, 20, of Farmington, Mich., praises the president, particularly for his handling of terrorism. “He runs this country not as a politician but as a businessman who does things that need to be done,” DeCaro says. He says public opinion has been swayed by a “liberal media” that are “defeatist” on the war and antagonist toward Bush.
Still, even conservatives divide 47%-44% on whether things have gotten better or worse.
And yet ‘conservatives’ who think the counry is headed into the toilet still vote Republican. Look over there! An athiest, pro-choice gay-marriage terrorist!
If there only were a way to restrict the coming economic implosion to Republicans. Its their bed; let em lie in it.

This guy’s from Michigan, where Bill Ford, Jr is what passes for a businessman
This question — this frame — is all wrong.
Asking if the country is headed in the right or wrong direction in the past five years?
That’s a consumer’s question; that’s a ‘how is your meal’ question.
What every one of us needs to be asking is, how is this great American experiment of self-government working out?
It’s 230 years along — is it working? Any problems?
This country is not a giant meal, to be consumed and then shat out.
It’s our project, it’s our thing. We, the people, own and operate it.
It already IS an ownership society.
