...but UFO True Believers are more likely to be New Agers, who in turn are more likely to be Democrats.
Republican True Believers overlap with the fundamentalist Taliban types who believe the universe was created 6,000 years ago, and who for the most part believe that the UFO stuff is a satanic cult.
Hey, each side has its own flavor of irrationalism, but the R irrationalists constitute a voting bloc.
(There is also a small but not insignificant number of people in the sciences who believe there is a case for continued study of UFO incidents, although these people don't subscribe to the foolishness about crop circles and alien abductions and so on. These people aren't relevant to the present discussion...)

the members of the crop circle believing crowd that I've run into are quite anti-Bush.
I must admit that I would personally much rather have a beer with an alien than with Duhbya.

Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis? If you answer yes, welcome to the republican party.
