The real bad news?
As I see it, is that about half of the voters are either stupid or uneducated and illiterate enough, or mentally disturbed enough, or any combination of the above, to even consider voting for a "man" who is just barely fit to represent the human species. Let alone the 4-year long trail of obvious lies, blunders, hardly hidden agendas, and plain failures. I say "obvious" because it really does not take much to figure it out, even through propaganda and worked polls. That is, to me, the scariest thing of them all.

1. yup
a large percentage of Murkans clearly pose a danger to themselves and others, whether due to stupidity or mental illness.

2. Fear! Fear! Fear! and xenophobia is what does it.
Even normal people will do the exact wrong thing when they are scared. That's why Bushco is yelling all the time it makes people scared. The fear goes away (to be replaced with loathing) one people are exposed to the truth about these jackasses.

9. It depends on where you are.
I work for a ultra-freeper company (financial mega-corp) and all the salesmen here are yammering on and on about it. All the smoke breaks in front of the building this morning was going on and on about how angry and scared they are at Kerry over this Mary Cheney business.

So the puke base is fired up about it, but how will it translate to the moderates? The spin is pretty effective with them. They are believing CNN and the fear just goes on and on and on.

I work with these people but every day that goes on and they believe Bush MORE is have my doubts at to their independence and intelligence.

I've almost quit several times on pure political reasons.

5. As evidenced by most of Bush* Supporters calling into CSPAN
last night. I thought God, of course these stupid people will vote for him. I don't even think they watched the debate because none of them could answer the moderator's question..... what moment struck you, etc., etc. - all they had was canned responses, Bush* is a good christian man, Bush* is honorable, Kerry is a liar, etc. All the same talking points over and over. Every Kerry caller knew the issues, watched the debate and could speak soundly and clearly. The mystery was solved for me.
