I think Joanie's description of "outcome #2" describes the "useful idiots" as well as I have heard them described:

If Kerry/Edwards are victorious on the 2nd, the voters of America (although probably not a majority of them – since a statistically significant number of dead people, house pets, felons, illegals, and people with multiple residences will have cast their votes for the democrat ticket) will have voted on the basis of superficial, Madison-Avenue-created, sound bite ‘knowledge’ that bears no resemblance to truth. The majority of Kerry/Edwards votes will have been cast -- thanks to a combination of voter apathy and rampant media bias -- without the benefit of a genuine knowledge of the democrat candidates’ decades-long resumes that exhibit an unambiguous adherence to a treasonous, anti-American agenda.

I know a lot of Kerry voters, but not a one of them understands what real socialism is OR what John Kerry's record shows. They are voting from Joanie's "Madison-Avenue-created, sound bite 'knowledge' that bears no resemblance to truth". And when you try to show them the truth they act like you are insulting their intelligence. To be honest, there isn't much there to insult. :-)

Even if we have some semantics differences, let's all hope we're going to be celebrating tonight.

A LOT of 'em are just like that; but, let us not forget a huge number who pull the lever for Liberal-Socialist candidates because that's what their parents did too, eh?
It's almost as if these kinds are trying to get the parent's *appoval* -- even if from the grave -- although they'd never done one thing in their adolecent life that'd have merited approval, anyway.
Weird, pathological, very real & now dangerous when they appear in large numbers with their hands out.

"And when you try to show them the truth they act like you are insulting their intelligence. To be honest, there isn't much there to insult."

HA!!
Ain't it the truth ever.
But I gotta say, I was shocked to see how many supposedly educated & well heeled people support the Liberal-Socialist quisling candidates
So shocked in fact I actually asked the question [here] publically how that condition could possibly exist.
FBD provided a number of valid reasons that when added together answered my questions.

"Even if we have some semantics differences, let's all hope we're going to be celebrating tonight."

I can live with semantic differences, my friend.

...it's the ideological ones I've trouble with. {g}
