First, there are Bush voters who STILL approve of the job he is doing. To me, these people are dangerously insane; if I could permanently revoke their voter registrations, I would. I don't get them, in the same way that I don't get bad Eddie Murphy movies, or german.
Then, there are the Bush voters who are a step above that, and either regret their votes for him, or at the very least understand what a miserable failure he is. Yet, a great many of these voters will still vote for McCain, and only turned on Bush because of Iraq, so I don't relate to them.
There's a whole group "in the middle," who base their vote on something like Al Gore's sigh, or Obama's "bitter" remark, or who vote based solely on something like guns, that I simply don't understand.
There are the far left - the gang who believe 9/11 was an inside job, believe in radical redistribution of wealth, gets all crazy PC on everything, and who have injected as much negative tone into the national discourse as the crazy rightie groups (most of whom fall under the 1st category).
Now, there is a whole, huge group of Democrats who I think are deranged. It's the group that is clapping & cheering with gusto at a Hillary Clinton rally, and the group that just gave her $10 million in new funding since PA. Since I can barely look at Hillary Clinton, the fact that they can not only keep their eyes affixed on her, but smile & clap & cheer while doing so, is a radical thing for me. They are as alien to me as anyone else; I definitely am not a part of whatever political group they seem to consider themselves a part of. I cringe to think that some of them might actually vote like me in the fall, and they probably/hopefully will if Obama stands any chance.
Weird times....
