People claim Members of GLOs are brainwashed too. Does that make us Stupid?

I've tried to stay out of these debates...either you areone side or another. But please try to make me understand...if you don't LIKE the job Bush did as govenor why would you vote for him for President?
I think thats what so many people just don't get. The economy is in pieces but Bush is my man, I don't agree wiht the war but Bush got us into it and he's my man, I don't like what happened to my health care premiums but Bush is my man, I'm against abortion but will support a man who oversaw multiple executions while govenor...(how about turning the other cheek instead of going after Sudam who beat your daddy?)....the list of hypocrisy goes on an on.
And while I don't know where you are from its ironic that the city that was affected most by the terrorist attacks voted overwhelmingly against Bush - because we've already seen first hand what the rest of the country can't see through. A couple of sound bites and a convention does not mean you are "supporting" this city. The support for the troops is even worse. Why are families raising money to send their sons/daughters materials that should be provided for them? Why are the troops STILL having to fight on a person by person basis when they return home injured and are denied their pensions or basic long term health care? We are woefully underfunded and underprepared...while cities in west suburbia are staring at unused equipment they have little use for.
I'm glad middle america is rallying behing their man. It seems like they view the events or this war as a bad doomsday movie...things come flying out of the air and we conquer at the end all tied up in 90 minutes or less. However the real life affects of 9/11 and this war were not tied up despite the "mission Accomplished" press clip. Its not fun to watch things blow up when they don't show you what happens afterwards in the minutes, hours, days or months of a real attack, long after the rest of the country went back to their every day life. Rally behind the troops this war until MY son, daughter, family member is called to serve....Maybe watching the coffins on a daily basis will finally make it real....
Ya'll don't get why we have no faith in this man to keep us out of trouble. However, the fear is real, the results of this election will be far reaching. And when it happens again in another city here in the US there will be no joy in saying I told you so.
