How can President Bush have a 39% job approval rating overall, but have an 85% job approval rating among Republicans? He is at 8% among Democrats. I mean think about what a completely different worldview is required betwixt the different camps. This post isn't about commenting on how bad President Bush is, but how little Republicans seem to grasp that fact.
One third of Americans are Democrats.
One third of Americans are Independents.
One third of Americans are Republicans.
One third of Americans approve of the President.
See? The only people on earth who like President Bush are registered Republicans. Period.
It just strikes me as very spooky that in order to be a Republican, you have to think and believe things completely opposite to non-Republicans. It's so cultish that it gives me the heebie jeebies.
My favorite subject of study is that of cultish behavior; of otherwise perfectly sane people thinking and believing in very odd ways in order to keep their vision of faith/hope/truth alive. Whether it is religion, conspiracies, history, science, or politics... it fascinates me. This is such a great example.
