That's what one might call a "Truism". I've never understood the blind following while the country steadily marches left, with these cheerleaders in tow. I don't get it. Blackbird.
The "conservatives" of my aquaintance are most impressed with the Jesus talk: "I pray every day," and "God talks in my ear." After the shock of eight years of the Clintons, this is comfort to them.
As evidence continues to build that their faith in W is misplaced, they run from cognitive dissonance. The same happened to my liberal friends concerning Clinton back when.
Oh, and one should point out that a lot of the blind following of the GOP comes from bots spending all their time around other bots. One has to have a wide selection of friends and acquaintances in order to maintain perspective. That takes work, an open mind, and a bit of risk that someone might, oh my, disagree with one's bigotry.
