I've had some nice bush in my day, but none were named George. I'm not GAY, FFS.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

It hardly a surprising finding.
Conservatives usually opt for simple sounding policies on everything.
Someone commits murder? Kill them. But they might be innocent? Naaaaah, the court said they're guilty. Hang em high.

Saddam got weapons? Invade the place.
Yeh, but, that might make it worse.
Worse? He'll be dead, won't he?

It's the George Bush school of thinking. Keep it simple.

Vote for who? George who?
Oh, his daddy was president. I'll vote for him. He's my kind of guy.

Like IQ between the genders. The low and the high are the domain of the male i.e. the conservative mindset. Whilst the female i.e. pathetic liberal mindset nudges that middle post and skews the average. And the fact is the conservative mindset being more into tribalism needs to concentrate intelligence for decision making at the top end whilst the tale needs to be dumb enough, not too smart, to do as told. Different, nothing wrong with a lowish I.Q. so long as it doesn't effect looks. :read:

This falsely presumes that acceptance of "change" ad "unorthodox things" is a positive for humanity's survival. That ain't necessarily so. One glaring example might be the acceptance of "change" in sexual behavior caused by acceptance of "unorthodox" homosexual sexual practices, which factually lead to the AIDS epidemic.

Not all "change" is good. Just look what that fuckwit Obama has "changed" in his "change" agenda. Nothing he's done has made life better for anyone, anywhere.

What did George Bush do for you?
Not much. He was a Progressive too.

I don't know if Genghis was to the left or the right. Killing millions of people doesn't automatically make you right-wing.
Uncle Joe Stalin proved that.

It would be interesting to find out how Genghis ran the bits of the empire that he didn't slaughter.
