Says Krugman:
"But Americans are feeling a sense of dread: they're worried about a weak job market, soaring health care costs, rising oil prices and a war that seems to have no end. And they're starting to notice that nobody in power is even trying to deal with these problems, because the people in charge are too busy catering to a base that has other priorities."
This is all true, but what Krugman misses is that to the vast majority of Red State Republicans NONE of this matters.
Dubya is not perfect, but at least he's saved! It's all in the hands of God. And ALL Religious Republicans are all thankful that the baby killers and the homo-lovers are not in control. That's all that matters now.
Amazingly, Dubya's stupidity works to his advantage at every point. Republicans believe that he is "likeable" and would never do anything to harm the country "intentionally."
DUBYA SIMPLY CAN DO NO WRONG ACCORDING TO HIS REPUBLICAN RELIGIOUS BASE..... It's not about liberal and conservative now. It's all about Good and Evil.
The Democratic position should be:
LET IT RIP! Because their shrill protests are only seen as more proof that they are the Spawn of Satan.
