And these are the same people who will vote Bubbette! into the White House in 2004. I listened to a couple of local successful small businessmen talking last week right after they had voted in the primary,and you would have had to heard it to believe it. One said (a self-made millionaire-seriously)that he voted for somebody in every race,even if he didn't know who they were. He said "I just voted for the ones who name I liked,except for one guy. One guy had a name so weird I figured nobody else would vote for him,so I did." The other guy said similiar things,and then they got to talking about how it's a damn shame Gore isn't in the White House now,"because he's smarter than Bush,and would be doing a better job fighting this war on terrorism." When I told him there are several hard lumps in my cats litter box that are brighter than Goober,he got mad and said,"Well,he graduated from Yale,so how dumb CAN he be?" When I reminded him that Bush also graduated from Yale,and them got a advanced degree from Harvard Business School,he didn't really know what to say. I also reminded him of Goober flunking out of two schools,including divinity school before going to Yale,he came back with,"Well,what about Hillary Clinton? She graduated at the top of her class from Yale Law School. Do you think she is stupid,too?". When I informed him this was just more Dim lies because Yale doesn't have and grades other than "pass or fail",and that nobody who attends classes fails,he just got madder. He asked me,"If this is true,how did she get to be the class valavictorian?". When I told him this was a elected position at Yale,kinda like class president,I thought we were going to end up fighting. He still claimed both Goober and Bubbette! were smarter than Bush,and that either would be doing a better job as president now.
These people are all life-long Dims whose families have been yellerdawg Dims since before the Civil War. All the local papers are owned and edited by leftie Dims,and they get all their political opinions from these papers,and from their churches. I know the blind here on FR who worship Bubba-2 think he is some sort of "New Messiah" who is on a mission from "gawd" and can't be beaten,but they are wrong. The Dims ain't about to roll over and play dead for him,and they have more blind cultists than the Republicans do. If you continue to underestimate Bubbette! as a candidate,you are likely to wake up shocked on November 12th,2004.
I had close to the same discussion with a couple of gay guys who were HUGE Clinton supporters. They didn't believe anything I told them even when I could prove it! IDIOTS!
Talk about cognitive dissonance. These are guys in their 30s and 40s that never got over Reconstruction - they still vote like their grand daddys.
