22 types of Bush voters
1. Scared, under-informed, and disempowered women who have been brainwashed into believing that there are Al Qaeda bogeymen behind every door and only G. W. Bush can save them.

2. Scared, under-informed, and disempowered men who have been brainwashed into believing that there are Al Qaeda bogeymen behind every door and only G. W. Bush can save them.

3. People making over $100,000 per year whose primary focus in life is "getting theirs" (as in "who cares if anyone else does?")

4. Homophobics

5. Black people who hate themselves and wish they were white

6. Just about any minority people who hate themselves or at least hate one other minority group.

7. White people who hate all minorities.

8. People brainwashed into believing that the world revolves around just two issues: guns and abortion

9. Executives whose companies spew toxic wastes into the air, soil and water.

10. Developers who would turn anything - from farmland to nature sanctuaries - into parking lots and strip malls if they could.

11. Co-dependent women who want a pat on the head from their patriarchal husbands or boyfriends for voting for HIS favorite candidate.

12. Angry white males who believe that only white males have a right to health, wealth, and the pursuit of happiness and thus don' want to share the resources

13. People who cannot find the capital of the next state on a map, let alone Afghanistan or Iraq

14. People who believe that they will be one of the 144,000 "chosen" who will be sucked up into heaven following an accelerated Armageddon provoked by Bush

15. People who eat Freedom Fries

16. People who claim to be pro-life while cheering on the slaughter of innocent men, women and children in poor countries.

17. People who claim to be pro-life while promoting the extinction of dozens of species by endorsing the removal of environmental protections

18. People who claim to be pro-life but promote the often prolonged and painful deaths of thousands of fellow human beings by opposing affordable health care policies or the use of federal funds for clinics in poor nations because they may offer abortion..

19. People who think female breasts are nasty objects and should be hidden permanently from view, if not banned altogether.

20. People too unread, unimaginative, and unintelligent to grasp concepts that cannot be presented as "tiny sound bytes" and simple-minded slogans

21. People who believe "liberal" is a dirty word because that's what Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the simple-minded slogan-smiths have hammered into their heads.

22. People who believe that what really counts in a leader with the power to determine the course of events for hundreds of millions of people on Earth is whether you can picture having a beer with him.

the sad thing is, these 22 types are about 45% of America today.

the Jewsih vote.

That's a pretty big slice of "Jews in favor of handing the reins to the whackos who want the Apocalypse because they'll go to Heaven and we'll roast on Earth".

6. I know a couple like this!!
They love georgie and Faux news and the website LittleGreenFootballs, long to see all Arabs blown to smithereens, incredibly smug in their position, brag about having been liberals long ago before they wised up.

Makes me scream. I avoid them.

BTW, Mrs. Littlegreenfootballs is Mr. Fuzz's business partner. Mr. Fuzz refuses to talk politics with her.

5. Bush on the Couch
I've been reading this book and one chapter addresses this issue specifically. The author maintains that his appeal is 1)the ease with which people identify with him. 2) he projects both the omnipotence we wish we had and the fears that have us in their grip and 3)the sadism in each of us is satisfied by relishing his sadism.

Personally, I think there is one characteristic alone that accounts for Bush supporters: smug self-righteousness.
