Yup. And it's horrible, but from this side of the fence it makes one think that people who want to be represented by a slack-jawed slow-talker are slack-jawed slow-talkers themselves. This, in turn, implies stupidity. Which really isn't fair to those who do support Bush, because I'm sure there are some really intelligent, good Republicans/Bush supporters. Heck, I know a few.
Ditto what you said about actually wanting to do something to help Kerry. I mean, I'd vote for my dog if it meant getting Bush out of the office, just because I hate how he waves around God and the Constitution like a shield, proclaiming those who speak up against him as a non-patriot. And that's just the tip of the iceberg with him, too. But Kerry really impressed me. I wasn't expecting him to say stuff that I wanted to hear, and I certainly wasn't expecting to be left smiling throughout. Seriously, this is the first time I've ever really cared about who wins. I've already donated to Kerry's campaign fund, and I want to do more. But in my neighborhood, saying "Kerry's great!" is like preaching to the chior. Or my LJ friends. ;)
