They care more about how a candidate makes them "feel" than whether that candidate's policies are in their own best interest. Bush is case in point. He basically uses the Christians. Most of them are lower or middle class, he gives tax cuts to his rich buddies, loots the treasury and plunges the nation into massive debt, handing out untold billions in no bid contracts to his oil mogul buddies while the middle class gets to watch their jobs shipped over seas, gas skyrocket, food and healthcare skyrocket, inflation up the ass. All studies show that the rich have benefitted immensely under Bush while wages for the average person are falling. CEO pay has gone into the stratosphere, and McCain/Palin think these people should get even more tax breaks. But noooo....Palin is better because she makes stupid jokes about being a hockey mom, lipstick and pit bulls. Who cares if her economic policies will rape the middle class up the ass...you know especially when the other guy is black. Meanwhile Bush vetos any attempt for a windfall tax on oil companies who make more in one year than the GDP of many countries. Yet all Bush has to do is wave a bible in the air and have the Christian coalition rally the base on "morals and values" and the typical American will fall in line and vote for someone who is detrimental to their own economic well being and say nonsense like "Bush seems like a guy I could have a beer with, he's a straight shooter! Yeehaw!" Such morons. Such, utter, utter morons. And here we go again with Palin.
