Apology
Posted October 19th, 2004 by Sean WilliamsI’m sorry for saying that Bush voters aren’t dumb. It turns out, almost all voters are dumb. this is actually kind of shocking. Here are the money quotes
A close look at five key domestic agenda items suggests that Tennesseans as a group hardly qualify as well-informed and ideologically consistent policy wonks. On four of the five issues, only about half of a given candidate’s supporters hold opinions consistent with those of the candidate.
Many favor positions inconsistent with their candidate. Perhaps even more interestingly, sizable chunks of each candidate’s supporters favor positions held by the opposing camp. And when quizzed about which candidates hold which positions on the five issues, Tennesseans score an average of only two right answers – about the same result one could get by merely guessing
Of course, the problem is that a lot of people are voting for Bush because they believe he will be better on the war. They might think that because they understand it’s a war he made up, and I can dig that. But the real war on terrorism obviously requires a better nuts and bolts man than Bush, and Kerry is nothing if not a nuts and bolts guy.
My brother Steve pointed out to me that Islam the religion has nothing to do with Islamic governments acting in their name. I disagree, strongly, but it is a point that needs to be made. We’re living in a Christian world, and it should be made clear that I do understand that Islam has basically the same inscrutable message of peace, forgiveness, miracle and wonder that all your major retarded world religions do, and I hold it in as much esteem as I hold Christianity, Judaism, Confuscionism, Tarot Card reading and Native American polytheism. Y’all are all retarded, just the same, in your love of God.
From now on, to make sure there is a distinction, I will refer not to Islam, but to the geoplotical islamic movement.
However, I think the next post will be about my love of adult moist ass-wipes, so it probably won’t come up any more.
All hail the adult moist ass-wipe!
Do we know the condidate’s positions on this subject?
I heard that Kerry wants them to be mandatory in all public lavatories, but that Bush is actually anti-ass-wipe because the religious right feels that they lead to homosexuality. Nadar’s position is that both candidates ARE ass-wipes, but that Bush is moister than Kerry.
