Typical examples of the left's attitude towards Bush voters:
-- "Were I a Kerry voter, though, I'd feel deep anger, not only at them returning Bush to power, but for allowing the outside world to lump us all into the same category of moronic muppets. The self-righteous, gun-totin', military lovin', sister marryin', abortion-hatin', gay-loathin', foreigner-despisin', non-passport ownin' red-necks, who believe God gave America the biggest d*ck in the world so it could urinate on the rest of us and make their land "free and strong." -- The Daily Mirror on the people who voted for Bush
-- "I look at the big map and all of the red in flyover country and I feel like I've been locked in a room with the slow learners. We have become the country that pulls a dry cleaning bag over its head to play astronaut." -- Tbogg
"Americans did not vote for fascism - but the fascists now control all three branches of our government: the Presidency, Congress, and the Supreme Court. In 1935, Sinclair Lewis warned against the rise of an American fascism in "It Can't Happen Here". Well, it can - and it will, unless we stop it now" -- Bob Fertik at Democrats.com
"Rove's re-election strategy was elegantly simple: Scare the bejesus out of Jesusland. F@ggots are headed your way! Satanic Muslims are hiding everywhere! That's all it took to get Jesusland to do the job. Intellectual conservatives like the National Review staff are flattering themselves if they honestly believe Jesusland cares about conservative thought. The "reality-based" folks are learning that Jesusland doesn't even care about jobs or the economy. In Jesusland, it's all the will of Jesus. No job? No money? Daughter got her clit pierced? Jesus is just f*cking with you again, testing your faith. Got the cancer? Oh well. Soon you'll be with Jesus. Reality is no match for a mystical world in which an all-powerful god is constantly toying with every detail of your mundane life, just to see what you'll do about it. Keep praying and always keep your eye out for homosexuals and terrorists, and you will eventually be rewarded ... all you have to do is die, and then it's SuperJesusLand, where you will be a ghost floating in a magic cloud with all the other ghosts from Jesusland, with Jesus Himself presiding over an Eternal Church Service." -- Ken Layne
"I was one who defended Americans from being called stupid. I thought they were ignorant of the facts, but not stupid. However, enough of the truth came out in the final three months of this election that an inanimate carbon rod should have beaten Bush. My opinion of Americans has changed." -- From David at BlogAmY
"The Liarfuhrer of the combined forces of unfettered corporate greed and undemocratic theocracy has led his thoughtless followers to the promised land of arrogance, thought-control, and selfishness run amock". -- From a post called "NEOFASCISTS TAKE 2004 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION" on Bush Watch
You see, those who support Bush's policies don't do so because we favor taking out threats before they fully mature. And we don't support them because we think no Americans should have to pay more than 35% of their income to the federal government. And we don't support him because he's made schools be more accountable to the people. And we don't support him because he actually does the things he says he's going to do. No, we support him because we're a bunch of gullible moron, gun-toting rednecks that are too stupid to see what an evil fascist Bush and his cronies are.
That kind of attitude has made Americans want to collectively say FUCK YOU to Kerry supporters in the form of voting against Kerry. And kerry has paid the price.
LIke I said elsewhere, even though I support many of Bush's policies, I would probably have not bothered to go out and vote this time because I was bummed out about the deficits and Bush's other problems (i wrote an article why I may not vote for Bush). But I was just so disgusted with the behavior of Kerry supporters and so tired of having my political philosophies insulted and ridiculed that I decided to vote. I simply didn't want the likes of Al Franken and Michael Moore and all those pretentious Hollywood elitists to think that they have real power. And I didn't want those arrogant whiney protesters to get their way. And I didn't appreciate friends and neighbors who would patronize me as some sort of half-wit because I don't agree with their "progressive" political views.
