I point out to people who give Bush not only an automatic unquestioning pass, no matter what the evidence is of shortcomings in his or his administration's performance, policies, or statements, but defend him and them to an extent similar to what you observe here.....they seem "more Bush, than Bush"!!!.

This is the reason that signifigant numbers still believe that there are WMD still hidden in signifigant quantities in Iraq, or spirited away to places like Syria, or that Saddam collaborated with Qaeda/Bin Laden, even after Bush or Scott MCcLellann went on record denying that they expected Iraqi WMD would be found, even outside Iraq, or that a claim could be made that Iraq had ties to Al Qaeda.

This is Bush's base. It empowers and enables him. They wanna believe.....
no matter whether it requires dismissing Plame's 20 years of patriotic service by siding with Rove's machinations and false and misleading white house statements, and by asserting almost with one voice that "she wasn't really an "operative", to parroting any personal "smear" OP directed towards anyone critical of this executive branch, or of candidate Bush, even if the individual attacked has an exemplary record of public service.....or has been highly decorated by the military for past service. Facts be damned.
