text: why do people trust bush or want to trust bush? personally, he's a politician... and when politicians, republican or democrat ask you to "trust them," what they are actually saying is "do i have your permission to do something stupid." i mean... i don't trust my next door neighbor, much less any politician, and i think you're naive if anyone, republican or democrat does...   personally, i only remember one time when clinton asked us to trust him, and he was lying... and with bush it's been wmd, harriet meyers (he obviously dislikes abortion so much to appoint her), port deals, when he said "my priority is to get osama" and he invaded iraq like a year later... and even the domestic spying... yet apparently many still believe him...   while granted, some secrets must be kept, he's fractured my trust one time too many and when he says "trust me," i don't anymore... fool me once shame on you, fool me 20 times shame on republicans for still supporting him and his blatantly unconservative actions... i mean look at the debt... people need to be optimistic because, after all, he controls the country and is our president! (how in the world did he do that?)
