Bush Supporters: Seeing the World in Black and White

It's easy to understand the world when there are only 2 sides of black and white. To Bush supporters politics is just a game. It's a professional wrestling match where the sides are clearly defined and all you have to do is sit with your popcorn and cheer. It's a ridiculous way to think but many, many have been fooled and our corporate media plays to these black and whites because that's what elicits the strongest emotional response and hence, ratings.

One has to dig to learn the nuances of the deeper story and attempt to uncover facts no matter if they support or go against what you believe. From what I've seen the Bush supporters just don't have it in them to do this. Too many are gift wrapped obvious facts that don't tend to support their BELIEFS but since that would mean "their side is losing" in their minds they just shut their eyes to the facts and yell Liberal like it is some magic word that will change the reality of things.

No WMD, SS Raided, nation building, environmentally negative legislation, huge deficits, government intervention in private matters, cover ups, deceit, propaganda, whoring themselves out to corporations, taking the country to war based on lies. This is what the Bush administration is but Bush supporters just keep on ignoring that because they think their "side" is winning but sadly it is America that is losing.
