which_chickI'm having a considerable amount of difficulty convincing myself that it's okay to vote for someone who claims, in public, that God tells him what to do. I would feel differently if W thought God spoke to him re: running the country and didn't feel bound to SHARE THAT FACT WITH US... he might be mad, if that were the case, but at least he wouldn't be STUPID and mad.
That, it seems, is where I'm having trouble. Stupid and mad are not like chocolate and peanut butter. They are not two great tastes that taste great together. There may, indeed, be some kind of synergistic effect when the two are combined, but it's definitely not a good energy.

Mad, but maybe not stupid

Date: 2004-10-26 10:48 am (UTC)What I meant to say was, that a huge portion of the public actually _likes_ him mad that way. The excellent NYTimes article I read appears to have expired and gone pay-per-view, but people have been heard saying things like "For the first time, I feel like God is in the White House". These are the people that want to vote for him.
Well, them and the equally incomprehensible ones that say "I can't imagine anyone standing in front of the poll machine making their choice based on anything other than who will make them feel more secure".
