This is a quote from the movie Boogieman: The Lee Atwater Story. (Lee Atwater was a Republican spin-doctor who influenced Karl Rove, the man who helped Bush get elected.)

It seems to me when people vote the Republicans into power that America slides backwards for those years.

ps. I'm not American, so I don't really care one way or the other who America elects as president, as long as he (or she) leaves my country alone.
