10 reasons why people are Pro-Bushies

[hadrons]

interesting post from craiglist's of all places:

People,

Don't you know that all the pro-war, Pro-Bushies and anything they consider against their agenda people are benefitting in some way from this administration? Why do you bother to respond to them? Why do you think they are so defensive?

Any protests whether valid or obvious about this administration fall on deaf ears because they are only thinking about what they are getting out of it.

Most people behind this administration are happy with it for a few reasons:

1. They are making money in some way, shape or form.

2. They are lead to believe that the administration is removing obstacles to their making more money.

3. They don't like anybody who isn't like them in the first place. IE: race, religion, way of life.

4. They are bullies, so they applaude any show of force.

5. They are not affected by the problems that affect most of the people here in the united states.

6. They are resentful of any government policies that don't benefit them and since this administration is doing away with them, they support it.

7. They are in awe of total and absolute power and admire it no matter what the consequences.

8. They erroneously think that this government is serving their religious/moral interests.

9. They feel/are made to feel that going against anything their goverment does is unpatriotic. Some are in denial that this is no longer a great country so rather than face that face, they defend the government.

10. The most common reason that goes with each of the above, they don't care about anybody else or what happens to them. As long as they are fine, the rest can go to hell.

1. One reason.

They're frightened little, non-inquisitive, lemmings.

18. I think it's too hard for people to "always filter the lies"....DO does

a great job ...but DU is not on TV.

It's easier to be ignorant

2. In the case of my husband's co-workers it is...

the mistaken belief that their personal security is being secured by the Bush administration's policy decisions. They have bought into the idea that they will be safer if "those ragheads are obliterated." They have somehow been lead to agree with the notion that people not like them are also not human. It's sickening.

It has nothing to do with religion or money. It is a basic "us v. them" mentality wrought by fear-mongering.

8. Racism works.

:sigh:

3. what's that "no longer a great country" part?

that seems to be a bit of circular logic.

If you think that this country is no longer a great country, you think that it once was and is not anymore. Of course there are many definitions of greatness.... I would agree with that statement if what is meant by that statement is that "it was a greater country before Bush." But isn't there a Bush BECAUSE of the Bushies?

So how could a Bushie being "in denial that this is no longer a great country" be the reason for their Bushiness?

And secondly, if you are not blaming Bush for the downfall of this nation from greatness, when was our country a great nation?

4. No. 9 is particularly true

unfortunately. This is no longer a great country or is exposing it's true nature under a barrage of Bush/media crap about threats from "evildoers". It is collapsing morally in attempting to claim "leadership" it has no right to any longer, given the high crimes and misdemeanors that his own party, Democrats like Biden, the media and an apathetic public that clings to the illusion of rightness based on a mindless USA!, USA!, USA! mentality.

5. They want "positive messages"

That's one thing I hear right wingers say that resonates. Liberals are negative, people want positive messages. So, how do you stop descending into oblivion, using positive messages? I think that's quite a challenge.

If you are a fascist, you just tell them what ever will make them compliant and feeling good about themselves. Play on their fears.

How do you be honest about a horrible situation and have people want to hear it?

6. republicans

Don't forget that there's a long-held misperception that only republicans can be trusted on matters of security and fiscal responsibilty.

7. How do we

use these reasons to turn voters our way and help win elections??

That's the kind of reasons we need to know.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

17. Do YOU have any idea to offer? (nt)

[forgethell]

19. Indeed I do.

Number 1. Look for the real reasons that people vote for bush rather than fantasies that only serve to flag our hatred of Bush.

Number 2. Figure out better policies to give the people what they want.


In particular, I think 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, & 10 are total BS.

#s 1, 2, 6, & 8 may have some validity to them.

#4 is just unthinking prejudice.

9. So true -- thanks for posting.

10. Here's another reason:

They really like this guy...

[left is right]

13. I am in love!

Do you have this guy's number? Yeah, right

[Clark2008]

11. How 'bout, "Because they're uninformed idiots who buy into the

media-propaganda that Bush is some kind of a hero, despite a losing economy, lower wages, higher deficits and actually being the 'leader' when 9/11 happened (and allowed it to happen by virtue of his stupidity and/or familial connections)."

[snowbear]

12. Yuppers Clark2008...

That too! :hug:

Bart sez: "Hey Republicans, kiss my ass"

[Mark E. Smith]

14. Reason #11

The Republicans have convinced a lot of people that they are entitled to receive govt benefits without having to pay the taxes to sustain them.

15. Thet are on Oxycontin

:evilgrin:

16. In the infamous words of Earl Butz, former USDA head

under Nixon, all the Bushies care about are "...tight pussy, loose shoes and a warm place to shit..."

:evilfrown:

[underpants]

20. To them he is a WINNER and they want to be on the WINNING team

That is one of their big sales pitches.
