That could very well be it, sir; in fact, I would almost bet the farm that that's it.
The problem with the DUmmie PUnidiot "William Pitt" is that he wants so badly, too badly, to "believe;" to believe anything and everything people whom he admires, tells him.
And he will believe, and believe, and believe--even though subconsciously he knows it's all wrong--and persist in believing, no matter how many times he's betrayed.
A dull person, yes, but also a very complicated person, the DUmmie PUnidiot "William Pitt." He CAN see using his own eyes, but prefers to see using the eyes of others.
And so the tragedy of "William Pitt," which goes a long way in explaining the differences between the Andyites on one hand, and Republicans and Democrats on the other hand.
The DUmmie PUnidiot "William Pitt" looks about for people to admire, and once he finds one, that admired person can do no wrong, no matter what he does.
On the other hand, sane rational people such as Republicans and regular Democrats, admire characteristics and values and principles, and then admire people with those.
