And I do not understand how someone could have intentionally voted for Bush - but I have the feeling these two things are related.

It's self righteous comments like this that are the problem with the democratic party.

mojo has a point here. While I detest Bush and what his administration stands for, it would be highly arrogant of me to put forth the notion that anyone who sees things differently does so through lack of intelligence. The fact remains that some of those who voted for Bush did so with their eyes - and intellect - wide open. It also goes to say that some not so very bright people voted for Bush as well. But then, the same can be said for voters of Kerry.
The question we need to answer is: do we truly want to move our country forward and try to work towards the betterment of all of us or do we just want to squabble and masturbate to our own ideology? If we do want the betterment for everyone, then we need to be able to understand each other's point of view instead of decrying it as ignorant or evil or treasonous. Just detesting Bush without ever trying to understand why he does what he does - and even allow that he believes he's doing what he believes is best - will never solve any of our problems.
