And you know what? He's right. Dictators have it much easier than democratically elected presidents. They can do whatever they want, even good things, without having to worry about morons/sheep/idiots voting them out of office for doing something harmless (example: getting a blow job).

Just because Bush says dictatorships are easier, doesn't mean you're on the way to a dictatorship. As long as you have a constitution, seperation of powers, and the right to speak your mind, you do not have, and will not have a dictatorship.

Here's a thought: suppose all those non-voting Americans would get up, and vote for an independent candidate in the next election... wouldn't that totally ruin any chances of the US ever becoming a dictatorship? If you don't like the politics or politicians, you can vote for someone else.
