C-Span idiot

[Arkana]

This is too good to pass up. C-Span is taking calls on the * address, and there was a string of Dems saying that * was "appalling" and "cowardly". Suddenly we get an idiot from Broward County, FL, who says "Bush is mah hero. I lahke 'is honesty and Ah think he's carin'." (Or something to that effect). Yeah, they're that dumb, and they're out there.

1. I've noticed something with the rank-and-file Bush voter.

When they talk about Bush, they always speak in meaningless generalities. "He's a strong leader," "He does what he says he'll do," "He's a moral man, not like that last guy we had in there," or something to that effect.

However, when pressed for specific policies or accomplishments of this Administration, they go silent. They cannot think of anything worthwhile this President* has done, other than stick his chest out and play John Wayne for the fucking TV cameras!!!

I am becoming increasingly convinced that there are only two types of Bush voter: those who don't know any better and those who are reaping a personal profit.

2. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Kudos to you, elperro. :toast:

[ezee]

3. I totally agree with you

Most of my family have drank the "kool aid" and that is all they can seam to say is that he is a moral man and a christan and goes to church and on an on. And then they start in on Clinton and his BJ...I remind them that was 4 yrs ago and Clinton didnt bankrupt OUR country!...and you know the rest.

5. Debating them can be a great deal of fun,

but it's so damned frustrating. It's a bit like discussing a novel with someone who's only read the chapter titles. They have their talking points, but they're clueless beyond that. Challenge them on one of their talking points, and they're lost.

14. After watching Jesus Factor..tell your Family he doesn't go to church

He doesn't. rarely seen going to church is how it was reported.

4. Exactly!

and the thing is, if you disagree with them, they just get pissed and say the same things, only louder.

[elperromagico]

7. Or they resort to BCC: Blame Clinton's Cock.

I often wonder, do these people blame Clinton's cock when they get a flat tire?

I disagree with Bush on almost every issue in this country, but I'm not so foolish as to blame him for every single problem in the world. If it's storming outside, I don't raise my fist to the heavens and cry, "Bush!!!"

15. bingo

add to that "he's a straight talker." and "he understands the average American" and "I'd like to have a beer with him" and he have the whole GOP campaign basically (add some fear mongering and race baiting and you have it all). Pathetic...

6. isn't Broward County mostly Democratic ?

isn't broward county mostly democratic ? if so then he probably sits around at home watching fox news and listening to rush.

8. In the "official" 2000 vote count, Gore won Broward 67-31.

Of course, when your party is decidely in the minority, it's likely to make you a bit angry... Imagine how a Democrat in Idaho feels. ;)

9. Or... in Texas : )

10. Someone called in claiming to be a Democrat "but". You know the rest.

11. Doesn't C-Span screen its calls for morons?

But morons have a first amendment right too so we'll just have to put up with it until Bush exits the building.

[Scoopie]

12. And they always pick the ones

with the most hick accents...
So... well, maybe that's not so bad afterall.
I'm from the South, but I don't sound hick and, well, quite frankly, wouldn't want to associate with people who, not only talk that way, but think that way. :D

13. C-SPAN pro-Bushies

do invariably have very pronounced suthun' drawls. After a while I start thinking, "this guy isn't going to poll dick > 750 miles from Atlanta"!

But then I remember Utah. And Wyoming. And Kansas. And...

16. Who is Brian Lamb?

I have never seen any articles written by him in any paper. What did he do before C-Span.
