no one told me! i'm always out of the loop on these things.
i think ustwo touched on something that isn't well recognized by those who dislike Bush. it is sometimes forgotten that there are
many people who fully support Bush. in fact, i would wager that there are more Bush supporters (as in those who like the President specifically) than Kerry supporters (discounting those who will only vote Kerry to be anti-Bush). when it seems that the country is out of control because a president is elected that no one you know likes... perhaps it is because the crowd you run with is a bit insulated from what a huge percentage of the country values.
all this tinfoil hat business is a bit offensive to conservatives. i don't even think that is realized by those who propagate it. to come to grips with the country electing a President that is so fundamentally unlike them, people often make up wild reasons why that would be. i.e. stolen elections, karl rove bogey-mans, big oil money, GWB being controlled by henchman and all manner of conspiracy theories. to top it all off, if one of those theories isn't assumed then the natural alternative is that people are too dumb to see it your way.
how very mindlessly arrogant.
what is seldom personally ascented to by Bush haters is that their worldview is significantly different from that of millions upon millions of their fellow well-informed and educated citizens. it's a foreign idea to many of them that it is
they who are out of touch with the aspirations of the country at large.
