Red State and Rural Bubba Republicans are sort of like alcholics...
...they've got to "hit bottom" before you can even BEGIN to help them.
So when the liberals and progressives "lecture" these Bubba Republicans about "their economic interests" and the perils of Free Trade...their eyes glaze over. Most of them are so enraptured by talk of guns and Jesus and how the homos are taking over that they can't really think straight about whats really happen.
That could be changing. But it is important that these BUBBA REPUBLICANS be allowed to discover this on their own... They simply have to hit bottom before the Progressives can even talk to them.
Bubba Repubicans need to see that they are lacking in the two most important "family values"...namely, respect for knowledge and learning, and tolerance of others.
These moves away from science toward "creationism" and "intelligent design" are simply nonsense.
And the intolerance preached in evangelical churchs is frightening...the Gay Bashing and this total nonsense that the Jews have a "Bibical Claim" on the West Bank...and that the Jews will "convert to Christianity" as soon as they "rebuilt their Temple" at the Dome of the Rock is simply dangerous drivel of the worst sort. And it is ashame that many Israeli politicans are leading these Evangelicals on with this bogus "conversion story."
So let the Bubbas keep sending their "jar heads" to die in the Middle East... Let the Free Traders loot jobs from the Red State economies... Let the Kongress keep passing "anti-middle class" laws; like the recent Bankruptcy "reforms," and the damaging tax cuts for the rich.
ONLY WHEN THE RED STATE BUBBAS "HIT BOTTOM" WILL THEY BE READY FOR THE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA... WE NEED MORE BUSH FOR BUBBA...NOT LESS NOW. MORE BUSH BASHERS FOR BUSH!
