You REALLY have to be stupid to be a bush supporter

[Nightjock]

I know that may be a bit unfair but I watched the boy chimp live on cnn a little while ago talking to a crowd.
He once again took a few words from an ENTIRE Kerry statement and LIED
about how Kerry would fight the war on "terru". This time saying JK changed "global test" to "Truth test."

The audience hissed, booed, guffawed....
Do these people EVER watch or read the news? Even on the most biased news networks talking heads have said that is not an honest statement by bush!!!!

Than bush utters this new line about Kerry... Quote "and than he said....WITH A STRAIGHT FACE..." blah,blah,blah.

This got huge laughs from the audience that sounded like a ramped up laughtrack machine on a bad sitcom.

Either bush supporters are STUPID...or he has the same 5,000 pre screened morons following him around the country to every event.

It makes me sick.

And one more note. Kerry in a landslide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. They all believe in "The Rapture"

I mean they are too far-gone to even care about. Bush's whole campaign is preaching to the choir. The only person even trying to reach independents is Kerry. It's going to pay off.

are still going to vote for Bush...

Appealing To Our Lizard Brains: Why Bush Is Still Standing

October 13, 2004

Since the president's meltdown in the first debate — followed in quick succession by Paul Bremer's confession, the CIA's no-al-Qaida/Saddam link report, the Duelfer no-WMD-since-'91 report, and the woeful September job numbers — I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why George W. Bush is still standing.

The answer arrived via my friend Ed Solomon, the brilliant writer and filmmaker, who explained that the conundrum could be solved by looking at the very organ I'd been racking.

Ed introduced me to the work of Dr. Daniel Siegel, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and author of the forthcoming book "Mindsight," which explores the physiological workings of the brain.

Turns out, when it comes to Campaign 2004, it's the neuroscience, stupid!

Or, as Dr. Siegel told me: "Voters are shrouded in a 'fog of fear' that is impacting the way our brains respond to the two candidates."

3. Please stop calling them stupid.

1) Most aren't stupid - just mis-informed.

2) It just makes us look like arrogant know-it-alls, which is why they could tank Al Gore that way.

3) Sun Tsu said never underestimate the enemy.

I look at it as two groups, the uninformed or mis-informed who are being suckered bigtime on cultural issues (read "What's the Matter with Kansas?"), and the criminals who know that lying to their base means power for them.

4. Ignorance can be fixed.

Stupidity is forever.

5. Why?

How do they continue to be mis-informed, with all the information that's available. They don't want to be informed, I would call this self imposed stupidity. So they are stupid by choice.

I may be arrogant, and I don't know it all, but I can think for myself. Something that they seem to have lost the ability to do.

Sun Tzu also said "One who knows the enemy and knows himself will
not be in danger in a hundred battles."

The uninformed can be informed, even the mis-informed can be shown the facts. But those who suffer from self imposed stupidity, are a lost cause.

Most of those that are seen cheering Bush on, don't care, perhaps that's what you need to understand the most.

You cannot save a man who doesn't want to be saved.
