Why would people follow a leader that never made a good decision...
in his entire life? Why would they follow his advice on tax cuts? Why would they follow his plan to overhaul Social Security? And why would they send their sons and daughters to die for his decision to go to war? If Curley, of the Three Stooges were elected, would they follow him to war also?

3. Well, there's a reason that the Army can't fill it's recruit quota.
As to the other topics, you first have to convince people that he's making bad decisions. Not everybody thinks they are bad.

6. But his history proves it...
From joining and deserting the TANG to Harken Oil to every business decision he has made in his life, he walks aways from the wreckage.

4. Because
They truly believe that he was hand picked by God to lead this country, and they will follow him to hell. The biggest problem is that they want to take the rest of us with them.

5. Apparently because he's not a LIEberal perv like Clinton
I've completely given up trying to figure out what makes Bushbots tick, it's pretty much a complete waste of time. The ones with a hint of soul remaining will come around eventually, the rest are just lost.
