Doug Snider: The Pathology of Republican Passion, Democratic Underground,
August 3, 2004
"The hardest thing for me to understand through all of this has been the passion of Bush's supporters, faithful disciples of a man many people see as an incurious dolt and an inarticulate pretender to the highest office in the land. Some are family and some are friends. These are not all ill-informed or unintelligent people. . . . It is baffling that what I see, and most of the rest of the world sees, is apparently invisible to almost half of likely voters. If we understood the pathology of Republican passion, Democratic victory in November would be assured. How do you possibly persuade those who see as heroic a man who, if not a deserter, was at best a military dropout? These people would look past a decorated combat veteran to a man who, when given the chance to serve bravely and honorably, formally requested that they send someone else." (8/5)
