I am so frickin' sick of this attitude!

From a Washington Post article featured on TruthOut this morning:

Bush, at Home Among The Well-Heeled in Texas

...here's a question: Are {three women being interviewed about *} concerned the administration might have emphasized false intelligence to build a case for the war against Iraq?

"I don't care about it at all," says Sims, while her mother and sister nod in agreement, "because we don't know anything about this {classified} intelligence. We can't know, as ordinary citizens, and we don't want to know -- it's scary -- and that's why we have leaders, and they worry about that for us. I trust him to lead. I trust that he's doing good things in the Oval Office and not bad things, if you know what I mean.

"And I love that he's a Christian man."
-------------------------------------------------------

All logic and reason and fact is lost on sheeple like this. We could have definitive proof that * eats Iraqi babies for breakfast, cheats on his wife with multiple mistresses, and conducted a carefully-orchestrated electoral coup d'etat in Florida with his brother Jeb, and people like these women wouldn't care. They would say, he's a Christian man, he's doing what God wants, and they trust him, and everything else doesn't matter.

Oh, and, "I trust that he's doing good things in the Oval Office and not bad things, if you know what I mean." Yeah, I know what she means. She doesn't care if * reduces the world to a cinder and brings about Armageddon, just as long as he's not getting a blowjob.

Does anybody else just want to slap the ever-lovin' crap out of these women and their ilk?!

What fraction of Bush supporters do you think fall into this category, where incontrovertible proof of impeachable offenses would be met with the "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" routine?

this kind of story makes me so angry that I want to go out and campaign for anyone but Bush.

Repubs think that when you vote someone into office, you have given them the power to make your decisions for you.

We Dems believe that when you vote someone into office, they are there to do their constituents bidding.

That's the diff by basic definition. So, no surprise there.

I've had this opinion for a long time. The "oh they know better than we do" "you should not quesiton your father" type of attitude. Very 50's TV if you ask me.

Libs/Dems/Progressives continue to question no matter who is in power as they should. They also recognize that simply acting like you know what you are doing is not enough.

before the sheeple repubs wake up and realise that * isn't such a good president after all?

What kind of wrongdoing would he have to get caught at before such people didn't vote for him again?

No matter how bad things get. :scared:

Tucker

Gettin' some under the oval office desk is the only activity than now qualifies as "high crimes and misdemeanors". But, I suspect that even IF * was guilty of that (*shudder*) he could simply appear on TV and say "I'm sorry, and I have asked the Lard for forgiveness" and these kind of people would let it go.

but the Trans Fatty Acids are relentless- just ask Cheney.

precisely because of that "we vote them into office, so they do our thinking for us" attitude.

You NEVER, NEVER, EVER give up your own thinking capacity!!!! Lack of critical thought in the public is what gives tyrants free reign.

OK, put down the mascara and step away from the apricot facial scrub.

with the Big Foam Cluebat, doesn't it?

I don't think the original Mary Kay was THAT clueless.

This says, at least some of her employees are complete parodies of her.

big aluminum cluebat.

in response to my website, http://www.bringhonorback.org:

"It was the likes of you that made life HELL for our Soldiers in the past. Have you ever given a min. of your life to defend America? There is no way that you can know what evidence the President has and can not release. Most Americans could not stand the stress to have such knowledge and it could bring death to the source. Do the lies, promises broken, position of killer chemicals, the carnage dealt to his own people, that Saddam Hussein has committed mean nothing to you ?"

Who set up the Kurds to be annihilated?

The answers to these questions and more on this edition of SOAP.

until I realized it was a total waste of time. Like trying to teach a pig to sing.

washed, has the intelligence sucked out of them with no hope of redemption,jerk response.

pictures of blown-up Iraqi babies, while they've got their eyes propped open, a la Clockwork Orange. Then, after they've gotten sick looking at war horrors, ask them if their aware that meat actually comes from animals, either...

looks like 30% or 33%...usually in the polls. people rarely change brands, like my father. He smoked Camels all his life...

can you please explain the good things Bush is doing in the Oval Office? I'm afraid that I don't follow you.

she's very conservative, very Catholic, very judgemental. The worst kind of sin is sexual sin, so clinton is an evil, evil man. What will we tell the children? But something like enron doesn't upset her at all.

Yesterday hubby had his weekly phone conversation with her. She asked what yellowcake was, and he explained about the uranium. She said "oh, it's that thing I'm trying not to think about"

I hope your husband insisted on making her think about it. Did he ask her why she's trying not to think about it? It must be bothering her on some level if she's making a conscious effort to ignore it rather than simply being oblivious to it as so many of these people are about the things that matter.

And probably southern baptists ones.

When I was growing up and we'd go "visitin'" the grandparents, the sexes would separate, with the females staking out the kitchen, helping cook the enormous meal, or the bedroom admiring the latest quilt top, and the males going to look at the latest gadget granpa had invented to solve some problem he had with whatever piece of machinery he was coaxing back to life. No matter what group you were with, things were discussed. Time to eat. Very pleasant, light conversation, with everyone joining in. Dishes done hurriedly, and depending on the season, everyone would sit on the front porch or in the living room.
This was the real time for discussing things in depth, and the sexes were equal in the discussion.

Like I said, this was how it was when I was growing up. Fast forward to visits to a fundy household. The sexes separate, get shown things or fix the meal, we all have pleasant, light conversation over the meal, dishes get done, and THEN THE SEXES SEPARATE AGAIN!!!!
There is no indepth discussion, including all the adults and the big-eyed kids, because fundy men do not and will not let themselves be put on the save level as women. They are arrogant SOB's who expect their wives and daughters to be airheads, just like the ones in the article.

It simply can't stand up to honest, fair scrutiny. They know this, and so avoid it like the plague.

I have watched my very bright, successfull businesswoman SIL turn into a *household, clothes, church* airhead. Very painful to see a mind not just go to waste, but to see her struggle with the resulting cognitive dissonance as well.

many of these are the same people who condemn those of some Middle Eastern faith for doing whatever their Imam tells them without question, and rationalising all manner of behaviour as the will of God.

Irony thy name is humanity.
