Only possible reason is that the rest of the country is just as clueless and stupid as he is. That's just it. There really is no other explanation.

I recently moved to Texas, Bush's State *rolls eyes*. The people here are so pro-Bush, it's frightening. And I am practically suffocating here, being the liberal-Bush hater that I am. I've debated countless times on many of the subjects relating to Bush and his way of handling everything (among other topics). It makes me sick to my stomach to hear the things he does and yet, everyone seems to think he's wonderful. Why?! *Shrugs sadly* And perhaps the most pathetic response I get from people -- when I ask why they are pro-Bush -- is, "Well, I don't really know anything about him, but...[My parents like him. He's from Texas. He's a republican.]"

I'm into politics big time, and I tend to voice my opinion and debate on many issues that are important to me, but I must say I know exactly what you mean here: think it's easiest for me to complain about pointless things like television shows and awards shows because I just can't find words to complain about politics. I can't always find the words, either. It's just horribly sickening to think about such things. And sometimes, I just don't want to bother arguing, knowing that it wont get me anywhere in this closed-minded sheep society...

Eek, sorry, a bit of venting there ^^;
