your right - the backlash will be like an atomic bomb.
most people that voted for bush didnt really think he was really anti-abortion, just a guy who stood for traditional family values. whatever the fuck that means.
BUT GUESS WHAT - the voters thought wrong.

so now one gives a shit.
gas went up in price - people bitched - then it went back down. people were passified.
if our economy went into say depression or gas stayed at the prices over the summer or went up more because of the war you would see reaction.
