Regardless of Whether One is RIght, The One Shouting Down it's Opponent WIll Always...
win favor with a shallow minority of folks. I've seen this many times before.... we all have. These McCain/Palin supporters are those type of people... the issues do not phase them, as much as the bully attitude attracts them. Remember when you were a kid and you always noticed certain kids hanging around with the bullies? It's a cult of personality...

1. The good thing is that it's usually about five against the whole school.
They get attention, but no respect.

2. Yes, I 've known that all to well.
Conservatives believe that if they say things forcefully enough that makes them right. Bullying the other person into submission only reinforces their conservative belief system.

3. That's Right... It's Why You See It in Their Demeanor on TV

They try to present themselves as dominate irregardless of whether they are right or wrong. Talking down to someone is one way of doing that. It's all about perception and they know others will follow just because you showed some form of dominance. Issues be damned....
