I see where you coming from. It's always good to get a perspective on why support is given, and facts are sometimes overlooked.
Would be interesting to sometime hear about your own reflection about the Bush Years, once he's out of office. Since you worked his campaign and all, also been watching the US media outlets during these years.
I didn't work FOR his campaign. I helped the campus republicans, debated people, converted people, and drove folks to vote, because I believed in Bush. It was only a year after the 2004 election I began to see the truth about things.
I remember the 2000 mess, when the courts awarded him the election. And I remember the 2004 election - when the Repubs SUED to keep the paper votes from being counted, after the statistical improbability of them winning the e-machine.
I read all about it back then, and I KNEW that we stole Ohio. We joked about it, the campus repubs. "Fck it - whatever it takes to get in the white house".
So yes, I was a piece of shit that cared more about my party "winning" than the right thing. Which is why I so quickly identify weaknesses and inconsistencies in teh arguments of far right folks - I USED TO BE THAT.
