Ever wonder who the 35% who still believe in Bush are?

They are people like my family.
When presented with the facts, they claim it is nothing but Democrat propaganda.
When shown that their beloved party is actually hurting them, they label it as false Democrat propaganda.
They listen religiously to Rush, and they take everything he says as truth.
They rush out to buy multiple copies of a Chicago newspaper just because it has a picture of Clinton that appears to have horns on him, from the Bulls symbol on the flipside.
They blame Democrats for their problems.
My sister for example, 2 children, and a husband that works at the mill.She blasts Democrats constantly for her families problems. I asked her when did Bush turn Democrat, she replied well you Democrats control congress.I corrected her and said First Im an Independant not a Democrat and second the house and senate are both Republican.Well she replies the Democrats in the congress wont let the Republicans do anything.I ask how are the Democrats stopping them? They have no control. All she could do is stammer and threaten to throw me out of her house.
My family voted against Gore based on the word of my uncle.His former landlord was a Gore,presumebly a cousin.
My Gore taught me to drive and was a reasonable landlord.
My uncle was a nutty Vietnam vet who has problems with every landlord. So because he had a problem with a Gore
that means his cousin is of the same type?
It is people with closed minds that follow blindly.And that goes for all parties btw.
They dont want their blind faith shown for what it is because it would strip away a false sense of security.
