But you go on believing the politicans "could care less". I'm not even sure what "bigger fish to fry" means.
As for "and quite honestly, it’s obvious bush doesn't give a flying f**k about his people, or he wouldn't have run for president to begin with.", what the hell does that even mean? He won the majority of electoral and popular votes so obviously given those people care, he must have done something to connect with them.
But I'm glad that you're going to take a thread telling people to be proactive citizens and say it means nothing and then to try make this a partisan issue by attacking the President.

Rudey, I agree that people
could have power if they are proactive and wrote in / called in / etc. but I was just stating that most of the time the politicians just don’t care. In no way am I saying its right, I’m just being realistic. And unless there is a “strong group of people” hounding their politicians to make changes, not much will come from it.
The whole “bigger fish to fry” comment is referring to who is putting money in the politicians pockets. These politicians got into office with some kind of monetary backing, and so they have to please those people once in office.
My issues with the president are purely just annoyance with the fact that he has not done any good for this country, in my opinion… But just like you stated, there are obviously a lot of people that disagree with me. And that’s fine. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions… And I was just stating my opinions, whether you agree with them or not.
