65. They're bullies
Some types or combinations of:

1) Disenfranchised lower middle class, probably social outcasts. Probably overweight white males. More than likely unemployed or they work in grunt jobs. This is a way to strike out at people they think have been looking down on them. (The elitist theory.)

2) Closet bigots. They can't come right out any more in public and say the things they think. So they strike out semi-privately (say on the freeper site) at minorities who they think are living off the gov't dole. They fear people who are not like them (foreigners, blacks, asians, arabs etc.)

3) Some self-employed or middle to upper manager types who hate paying taxes and see shrub as their way to bigger incomes through lower taxes. They also believe that "I got mine, let the poor work hard to get theirs." All the while paying their employees as little as they can get away with. They don't give a wit about helping anyone but their own.

Anyone have any more?
