Besides, most Bush supporters are "single-issue" people. Either gun rights nuts, or anti-abortion nuts, or just "he's a good Christian, because he says he is!" nuts. These are not people who are inclined to think at all, if they can help it. Their lives are optimized along a path designed to elicit the least amount of activity from their brainmeats, presumably on the grounds that, if God had wanted people to think, He would have given them actual brains, and not meat.
Just thinking (heh) about the bumper sticker mentioned. They're saying that, out of the 6 billion or so people on the planet earth, the very best one to fight terrorism, the one who strikes more fear in their hearts, is W. Not even among all the world's secret agents, all the British with years of experience dealing with the IRA, none of them would be worse, in the eyes of a terrorist, than Bush.
Um, yeah. I'm sure that's exactly what they thought when carefully evaluating that slogan before slapping it on their car.
