What type of simple mind would trust the judgement of George W Bush?

They would trust the future of our country in the hands of this man? They would trust the lives of their children in the hands of this man? They would trust the economic decisions and their livelihood in the hands of this man? I cannot understand why?

They worship him as if he were a cult. Like Chauncey Gardner in Being There, they define his every utterance as something which it is not but rather something they wish it to be. But that does not mean that people with complex thoughts do not support Bush. They do, but because they expect some huge reward from his tax policies or environmental policies or military policies, etc...

2. There is an enormous perception disconnect

I mean to them he looks confident and resolute and smart; apparently. It's almost like we are living in seperate worlds. Liberals here in reality and many conservatives off in crazy world.

4. In a world of the blind, the one-eyed man is King..?

To most of his supporters, it is all relative. He identiies with them os some level.

3. It's more complex. People have relied on the media to be their

eyes and ears. They have been mislead and brainwashed with TV , radio and print 24x7.

You need to work hard to find the truth and expose it. It's easier being uninformed and gullible.

5. Total mainstream media reliance.

Many, maybe most, folks read only headlines, hear only the first few emphatic words of a news story. News readers, headline writers know this and have been using it. The 4th Estate has not only sold out, it has been a willing participant in psyoping the American people. Psyops, when I was training with 4th Psyops Group, was NEVER to be used against US citizens.

6. Actually, it's more like the Life of Brian.

The Jews in the Monty Python spoof were looking for a savior, they just happened to show up at the wrong barn the night Jesus was born.

"Please lord, tell us how to fuck off!"

Just like Brian, Bush isn't that smart and doesn't really want to be king.
