You know that clip in F911 where W says to the folks at the white tie event, "The Haves, and the Have-Mores. Some call you the elite. I call you my base."
Well, I don't think they are his base anymore. I think that a lot of rich Republicans, being pragmatic people to start with, have recognized that W was a big mistake. His bizarre war in Iraq is costing them a lot of money, and a lot of people are mad at Americans, and that's bad for business.
The scary part is that W has a new base. They are the religious right, and they appear to be on the march. While it's hard to get them to talk about it, it appears that they think that W is the Second Coming and is ushering in the Rapture, which will take them all straight to Heaven and leave all the mean kids that used to tease them behind to be tortured by devils.
The war in Iraq is not a policy failure or even an understandable lapse in intelligence. The war in Iraq is the first stage of a Holy War - an American Jihad - that is prophesized in the Book of Revelations.
All is going according to Plan. It is to be expected that their Leader will be mocked and abused by most of the inhabitants of Earth. Only the Chosen Few can understand what he is Really Saying.
People caught up in religious fervor are generally immune to rational discussion, logic, films by Michael Moore, or even the front page of the Washington Post.
I'm really concerned that this lunatic might get reselected by a lot of duped religious nuts. I'm serious. Don't laugh!
If you're laughing anyway, think about what Rick Santorum said today on the floor of the Senate. Ask yourself why a grown person would say that there is no greater threat facing our nation than gay marriage. Ask yourself how many Americans nodded their heads in agreement when they saw this on TV.
