Reply #17: They want to make their own mistakes, like little kids.

Having Bush as a president is kind of like having Eddie Haskell for a son-in-law. "He's not good enough for you, honey. He's an ass," you tell your daughter. But all you can really do is pay for the wedding and wait for the divorce.

Bush voters aren't stupid. They are generally honest and not unintelligent. They are also easily swayed by their emotions and prejudices, and they are irresponsible with their votes. But the bulk of evidence is now so heavily against Bush, that I think that even careless Republican moderates are starting to catch a whiff of sense.

Bush is a spastic, overspending, dimwitted neocon. He can't hide it this election cycle.
