Would Commander Codpiece be easier to beat if he were MORE competant?

I have long thought that if the Chimpleton and his crew were more competant, maybe even slightly decent people, we would have a really hard time beating them in this election. I mean, if they were a little more crafty, a little more principled, a little less thoroughly awful, then it would be harder for the American people to make a choice tomorrow.

Yet . . . it also seems that, because Bushco is SO bad, so clearly and thoroughly terrible at policy, planning, governance in general, that if you support them you have to go into a kind of state of doublethink; to ignore facts, to not use logic, to simply let the projected images hit your mind and respond in the most basic, reptilian manner.

Is it the complete failure of this administration that actually makes them HARDER to beat? Because a thoughtful analysis of their actions is antithetical to them, because a real discussion on the merits of their term would destroy them, they are insulated from such a discussion?

It is a strange phenomenon, but I actually think if this were a _principled_ GOP administration (I know, I know, an oxymoron), that governed in the land of reality instead of Fantasyland, they would be easier to beat. But because they have left the realm of reality altogether, that their devotees are guided only by "faith", and are therefore much harder to dissuade.

What do you think?

3. I'm hearing that from some (very uninformed) family members....

"I kinda feel sorry for the poor guy..."

Well, I don't, and I plan to kick him in da nuts on Election Day.

2. I have to say, I've been wondering this myself lately.

I mean, they're so bad and their lies so outrageous that it's almost hard to comprehend. It's like, all that evil is hard for one little human brain to understand, so it's easier to just shut down and ignore it. There have been times when, if people weren't dying over it, this administration would be a joke. They're like over-the-top cartoon villians. So, yeah, I think part of it might be that it's easier to ignore it, do the double-think thing, or whatever instead of facing how ignorant, foolish, and just plain bad these people are.
