“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

The logic of lemmings

I just can't believe the lack of thought behind statements like these:
"If you do elect Bush, you know what direction he's going to go," said Robin King, 39, a print-shop coordinator at the First Christian Church in Canton, and a Bush supporter. "You don't know anything that Kerry's going to do. You can guess from what he says, but he doesn't really hit hard on any of the questions."

So Robin it seems would rather follow a man who is responsible for tremendous job loss and a weakened economy, increased the tax burden of the middle class, sent troops into harms way with no idea on how to get them home safe, laid waste to the environment and tried to alter the Constitution for his own political gain because she knows she can expect more of it? That's so much easier than trying to predict what Kerry will do based on what he says. Better to follow a man off a cliff than read signs that steer you to safety, I guess.

Lord help us all.
