Is talking to a Bush supporter like trying to saddle a cow? You work like hell, but what's the point?

I actually had some conversations with Bush supporters during the 2004 election. I compared it to talking to a Bedouin from the Sahara about the Atlantic Ocean.\nIf you talk to someone about an idea that is totally outside their frame of reference, totally outside their worldview, they will reject it no matter how many facts you have on your side.

What do you do when you want something from someone you can't beat up?  You kiss their as_s, right?\n\nWhat do you do when you want something from someone you can beat up?  You beat them up.  \n\nSo, they think they can intimidate us into giving them what they want.  Well, they're SORELY mistaken.  I'm fairly liberal, and I might have been cool about this, but they made a serious mistake when they started DEMANDING these things.\n\nAnd the lack of assimilation is ridiculous.  They're chanting things in Spanish that the citizens, those who vote for the freaking representatives and senators, can't understand.  This is extremely disrespectful.  They've won themselves over, but they've turned the rest of us away.

Someone is beating around the bush if they fail to directly answer a question.  Politicians are notorious for "beating around the bush."

Well, I guess you only want opinions that support yours. Even if I agree with you, there is no way that you are encouraging those with differing opinions to give their views. Asking a question and then adding the 'but if you don't say what I want to hear then you need your head examined' stuff is just self-serving. You might as well have said,"Hey, agree with me and get two points---I'll report the rest of you for abuse (of my opinion)."\n\nOh, and the AMERICAN company that hired him--did they really check any of his credentials or were they concerned only about the cheap labor?

You gave the answer: Low Score Wins ;)  ~~~\n\nAs Governor, Bush got to ceremonially act as a state trooper for a day. While operating a speed trap Bush pulled over a Texas farmer. He lectured the farmer about his speed and the necessity of obeying laws made by his superiors, and in general threw his weight around. Finally, he got around to writing the ticket, and as he was doing so he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya, Sir?" Bush stopped writing the ticket and said, "Well yeah, if that's what they are -- I never heard of circle flies." So the farmer says, "Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of horses." Bush says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a minute he stops and slowly says, "Hey... wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse's ass?" The farmer says, "Oh no, Governor, I have too much respect for you to even think about calling you a horse's ass." Grinning broadly, Bush says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though."

I am a Bush supporter, but I think this is terrible thing to say or even think. I know they hurt our feelings in here daily, but I'm not going to sink that low. Shame on you.

What is it about the quote that you find so interesting?  That is the way politics is played.  Candidates spend as much time trying to demean and demoralize their opponent as they spend telling you why they are so wonderful themselves.  They could care less who they hurt in the process.  In my mind, this is one of the big reasons why the country is so divided - hate based politics.  It isn't enough to support your candidate or party anymore - you are supposed to "hate" your opponent.  Solving issues just doesn't seem important anymore.

(Waiting for the inevitable cliche emotional garbage Bush bashing posts)\n\nAnd bam!  One minute after my post the guy below (blow) me starts right in to it.  Can't ask one question on here without some emotional illogical bash to our president.  Hey dude, try living in Canada.  I hear they're looking for hosers like you, eh?

I am chilled, thanks.\n\nI for one realize that the Bush administration are using this as a distraction from the real issues that should be in the public focus. Because we have mid-terms coming up in November, the Republicans need two or three bulls*** platforms with which to enrage their 'base'.\n\nI'm glad to say that so far it doesn't seem to be working. This issue was supposed to start a national debate that would last until the elections. Now that we're almost into May it seems to have been largely forgotten.

Why do you represent yourself so kindly, yet when the rubber hits the road, you degenerate into a poor witness for your faith:\n\nBehold, your email to me 06/30/06\n\n"Hello Veritatum17,\n\nYou have received a message from another user! \n\nFrom: mythkiller-zuba \n\nSubject: Re: I have no goat to provide \n\nMessage: U and d green desk could kiss my art.\nKiss a clean **** for a change.\nand 4Qverymucharsehole \n"

I've noticed that any time I do try to say something positive about the president or Republicans, I get nailed with down thumbs. It's almost like you can't be sincere about anything unless it's clearly backing one side or the other. This site does not cater to Moderate voices, that's for sure.
