Today it must be really hard to defend supporting Bush/Cheney
Advertisements [?]
Most of the Repukes I know are silent about politics these days. They appear grim and tense.

Imagine how difficult it must be to go against everything you know to be right and good for you? Imagine watching your Lord and Savior Jesus turned into a bloodthirsty, angry warlord rather than a man who advocated helping the poor and practicing peace and forgiveness and tolerance?

It has to be a real strain to "go through the motions" every day. I imagine the Bushbots see their pain as some sort of sacrifice made for their salvation rather than a symptom of a government that does not care one bit about them.

Repukes:

Your children are suffering

Your elderly are suffering

Your neighbor is suffering

Your soldiers are dying

People are being tortured in your name

People are being killed in your name

Your nation's ports will be in control of the Saudis

Your nation's money is in the hands of the Chinese

Your nation's reputation is lower than that of Satan

You're losing your jobs, your homes, your retirement, your healthcare, your protection in the courts, your privacy, your clean air and water.

Your cities are crumbling

And you cheer it all on!

I can't imagine how people do it: how do they continue to support **?

Can anyone explain it to me?
