Hagel is a lot better qualified then you to comment on Bush as President!
OK, I've had just about enough of this. Let me tell you something Mr "I know more than you do" Col gene. I am an American citizen. I was born and raised in this country. I pay my taxes, follow the laws and am outstanding American citizen. This country is based on the principle that people like George W. Bush, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Arnold Schwarzenegger are in those Gov't positions because of people like me, voters. It is the voter who has the power to place someone in the White House and it is the voter who has the power to keep someone from reaching that position.
How dare you claim that use average American citizens are not qualified to comment on he or she who we are responsible for voting them into office? How dare you treat us average Americans citizens like we are nothing but a bunch of children who pick our candidates out of a bag full of names on pieces of folded paper just to get a lollipop?
Regardless of what you say or feel, in the end it is us average citizens that candidates pander to because it is us the ones who judge them and it is us who decide who gets to have his cake and eat it too. I, and every other voter in this nation are more important than any Gov't position, because with out us average American voters, there would be no Gov't positions to fill, not taxes to pay them. This would not be a Democracy, this would be a disaster.
I demand an apology. You may have free speech but you don't have the right to treat anyone like they have no rights, as if we're all nothing but a bunch of idiots who should have nothing to do with the politics of this country.
