Bush voters and blind faith (Great LTTE)

Really well stated.


September 17, 2004

THE BUSH administration has brought us a disastrous war, a mind-boggling budget deficit, an economy that hemorrhages jobs, yet it will probably win the election because he has chosen the perfect constituency.

President Bush's religious voters believe what they are told rather than what they see. They choose to believe the simple fantasy over the complex truth. They do not notice that the Bush doctrine of preemption and his ability to collect enemies make us less secure, not more, because they are told that Bush is the "antiterror president."

They do not notice that their paltry tax cuts are a smokescreen for huge cuts for the rich and will be paid for, with interest, by their children because they have been told tax cuts are good. They do not notice that Bush has flip-flopped many times because they have been told that John Kerry is the flip-flopper. They gleefully challenge Kerry's Purple Hearts but do not seem to care that Bush may not have fulfilled his National Guard duty during the Vietnam War. What politician could ask for a better constituency? What democracy could ask for a worse electorate?

2. Well it is easier then facing any facts.
And who wants to think they voted for some guy who thinks he talks to God.
