Sounds about right

This is why the media doesn't talk about the issues:

The teacher told of an exercise wherein he read from both the Bush and Kerry websites. He read where each of the candidates stood on the main issues of the campaign. He didn’t say who was who…just “this is what candidate one says, this is what candidate two says”.

The kids made tally marks about each thing they agreed with from each candidate.

Then the kids voted on the issues.

Four kids voted for Bush. 26 kids voted for Kerry.

You have to realize the significance of this. We live in Eden Prairie, MN. George W Bush came to our high school and lauded it as a model for all school systems everywhere…presumably due to the fact that it is in a tremendously affluent and conservative suburb, and continues to pump out high-quality graduates despite being severely under-funded....

At any rate, Eden Prairie has grown a crop of Bush/Cheney yard signs that rivals the corn crops of neighboring rural towns. This is Bush country, make no mistake about it…

…as illustrated by the fact that most of the kids who voted for John Kerry were greatly upset by it. They booed the results of their vote. They were upset that they had voted for the “wrong guy”.

Glancing around the classroom at the faces of the other parents, I could see that many of them were disturbed as well. What could have gone wrong? How had they failed their children?

This is about right. Most Bush voters I know actually tend to agree with the Democrats more often than not. But, you know, Kerry is a flip-flopper. And he looks French.

The absolute most stunning thing is to hear a Bush voter rant and rave about how the libruls want to take away our freedoms (with the um, Patriot Act) and make everyone good conformist shoppers (I'm not kidding).

Oh, and how they only care about the rich.

All these things may or may not be true of certain Democrats, but they are undeniably true about all Republicans.

Why does the truth hate America?
