Why won't people listen?

It's baffling.  The American people have been told, over and over again, how Bush has lied and cheated, how he is impoverishing middle class America to benefit his rich buddies, how the only ones profiting from his illegal invasion of Iraq are his and Cheney's people at Halliburton and Carlyle, how he is unscrupulous about torture and murder, how he violates his oath to uphold the Constitution, and on and on.
 
People aren't that dumb or that scared.  Perhaps they are hooked on the macho image he projects, or seduced by the promise of the false prophets, that supporting Bush will get them into heaven.  Many of us are pointing out how unChristian his policies are.  Why won't the people listen?
 
Jesus said to the crowds:
"To what shall I compare this generation?
It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another,
‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance,
we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.'
Matthew 11: 15-16
 
In the name of the Prince of Peace,   Carol Wolman
