Cheryl Seal of Democrats.com has identified 22 species of these scary humanoids…
So who are these holdout Bush supporters?
After pondering four years worth of my own interactions, pro-Bush postings at various webstes, and the comments of callers to rightwing talk shows and C-SPAN, I have identified and compiled the following list of Bush supporter types.
1. Scared, under-informed, and disempowered women who have been brainwashed into believing that there are Al Qaeda bogeymen behind every door and only G. W. Bush can save them.
2. Scared, under-informed, and disempowered men who have been brainwashed into believing that there are Al Qaeda bogeymen behind every door and only G. W. Bush can save them.
3. People making over $100,000 per year whose primary focus in life is “getting theirs” (as in “who cares if anyone else does?”)
4. Homophobics
5. Black people who hate themselves and wish they were white
6. Just about any minority people who hate themselves or at least hate one other minority group.
7. White people who hate all minorities.
8. People brainwashed into believing that the world revolves around just two issues: guns and abortion
9. Executives whose companies spew toxic wastes into the air, soil and water.
10. Developers who would turn anything – from farmland to nature sanctuaries – into parkinglots and strip malls if they could.
11. Co-dependent women who want a pat on the head from their patriarchal husbands or boyfriends for voting for HIS favorite candidate.
12. Angry white males who believe that only white males have a right to health, wealth, and the pursuit of happiness and thus don’t want to share the resources
13. People who cannot find the capitol of the next state on a map, let alone Afghanistan or Iraq
14. People who believe that they will be one of the 144,000 “chosen” who will be sucked up into heaven following an accelerated Armageddon provoked by Bush
15. People who eat Freedom Fries
16. People who claim to be pro-life while cheering on the slaughter of innocent men, women and children in poor countries.
17. People who claim to be pro-life while promoting the extinction of dozens of species by endorsing the removal of environmental protections
18. People who claim to be pro-life but promote the often prolonged and painful deaths of thousands of fellow human beings by opposing affordable health care policies or the use of federal funds for clinics in poor nations because they may offer abortion..
19. People who think female breasts are nasty objects and should be hidden permanently from view, if not banned altogether.
20. People too unread, unimaginative, and unintelligent to grasp concepts that cannot be presented as “tiny sound bytes” and simple-minded slogans
21. People who believe “liberal” is a dirty word because that’s what Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the simple-minded slogansmiths have hammered into their heads.
22. People who believe that what really counts in a leader with the power to determine the course of events for hundreds of millions of people on Earth is whether you can picture having a beer with him.
There you have it, folks. Know your enemies.
23. Those that think sticking a yellow magnet on their vehicle is actually, “supporting the troops.”
I actually saw a new one today. It said, “Keep my soldier safe” as if sending our soldiers to a war zone for no good reason was how to keep them safe.
