An Example of Blind Voter Behavior

Comment comment by VnutZ on 07 February 2008

One example of what you are talking about was discussed last year regarding troop withdrawal. Like you said, no matter what Bush does, he'll be ripped apart because he's Bush. But, like the linked discussion talks about, where was the hatred for congress despite being more appropriate?

I'm reading a lot of the comments that were made in that post. I see a lot of intelligent reasons for and against our occupation and, subsequently, the way we feel about Bush. I think the idea about rallying support for or against anything is that you can't be wishy washy about it...somethings have to be black or white if you want results. Either you absolutely believe we should be in Iraq, or not, the people that are in the middle don't really count, (those would be the people that are like "there are some good things about being there, and some bad...I really don't know" ) Same thing with Bush, at this point either you love him or you hate him. This also depends on how impassioned you are about the issues at hand, if you feel an issue (like the occupation) is so inflammatory and wrong then its not really going to weigh evenly with something "good" that is being done. For example, you could say, "I think that the KKK was wrong when they went out and hung people from trees but I really appreciate the things that they've done for the community." Is that grounds to keep an establishment like that around?
