I agree. But I suspect a large part of that is simply that we're losing, or at least hopelessly bogged-down in the Iraq war, and the American Idol crowd is tired of it. - mnaz
You are correct, and I can prove it ... (emphasis added by me). This is from an older thread:

What I Got Wrong About the War
As conservatives pour out their regrets, I have a few of my own to confess

By ANDREW SULLIVAN

Posted Sunday, Mar. 05, 2006

Was I wrong to support the war in Iraq? Several conservatives and neoconservatives have begun to renounce the decision to topple Saddam Hussein three years ago. William F. Buckley Jr., as close to a conservative icon as America has, recently wrote that "one can't doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed." George F. Will has been a moderate skeptic throughout. Neoconservative scholar Francis Fukuyama has just produced a book renouncing his previous support. The specter of Iraq teetering closer to civil war and disintegration has forced a reckoning.

How much of this awareness is because we are losing; how many would have taken the time to look, including all these generals - if we weren't losing? Hard to say ... but for sure, it's a part of it.

Those that voted for Bush, backed a loser. Period. A fact that will go into the history books, along with the numbers who have died and have been wounded from their/this/his mistake.

ummmm...

worst president yes.
yawn.

Doesn't this reflect on the people of this country for having him as president? For continuing to allow him to choose and appoint leaders from his trickbag of failures and incompetents?

Aren't we the ones letting him chide us as the addicted ones, the ones who "won't do certain jobs?".
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

Get a grip folks. Look at us/yourself directly. Do you really get any sense of relief now that Rolling Stone is affirming what you have let transpire in this country????????

God, I miss the backbone and spirit of the 60's. Before we too, sold out to the corporates who now govern us, ever so covertly.

Speaking the truth does one thing anymore....it gets you in trouble, it gets you ousted from your security. If you speak out you loose dearly.
Why? BECAUSE WE LET IT HAPPEN THAT WAY......AND CONTINUE TO LET IT GO ON.
Take a look in the mirror folks.
Yes, you contributed to this mess. Own it. Get it.
Then do something about it, NOW!

The electoral college has got to go. The fraud in Ohio this time, the theft in Florida last time. It is not our fault. And I am weary of hearing how great the sixties were. That was then, this is now...

What is the point of making those comparisons? This is worse than Viet Nam.

I share your opinion of Woodrow Wilson.

And for years he has been considered near great. A southern preacher's son, a holier than thou hypocrite, sent the black soldiers off to fight a war to make the world safe for democracy, safe fo everyone but them. He reneged on every promise he made them. He thought Birth Of A Nation was great. Loved the Klan scenes, the first president to watch a movie in the white house.
