Undecided Democrats? Puh-leeze!

We walked our precinct today before it started raining. A couple of Democrats we met told us they were still undecided. Undecided? Are you kidding me? I asked them if there were any issues they had questions about, but they didn’t. I think they must be among the type who will base their decision on something like the candidates’ astrological sign or which guy has the best campaign theme song.

For the record, Bush’s theme song is Brooks & Dunn’s “Only in America.” Who the heck are Brooks & Dunn anyway? Sounds like a lawn mower brand.

Kerry’s got Bruce Springsteen’s “No Surrender” so he’s got that going for him, which is nice.

I have to admit Clinton’s Fleetwood Mac campaign soundtrack was rather energizing.

As for Clinton, he’s been e-mailing me asking for more money for Kerry. I’m glad Kerry has realized Clinton is an asset. Bad timing on the whole heart bypass thing though, Bill.

Dick Cheney’s four heart attacks are not slowing him down. The man who had spent most of the last four years in an “undisclosed location” devising the next strategy to ruin the world, has come out of his spider hole and is campaigning with the energy of a circuit party boy while Clinton has been in a hostpital bed sending e-mails. Where’s the justice?

It’s a little clearer today what divides the country. It’s not church-goers versus non-church-goers. It’s not rich versus poor. It’s not homophobes versus gay rights supporters. It’s the ignorant versus the people who are paying attention.

A poll taken last week (www.pipa.org) shows that Bush supporters just don’t know the facts and don’t know what their own guy supports.

A majority of Bush supporters thinks Bush backs the Kyoto global-warming treaty and the treaty banning land mines. He doesn’t.

Most of these same supporters do support these treaties, so they’re supporting the guy who doesn’t share their values.

Worse yet, three quarters still believe that Saddam Hussein provided substantial support to al-Qaeda or was involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. More than half think the Sept. 11 commission found such ties.

Only three of ten Bush supporters believe that the majority of the world opposes the U.S. invasion of Iraq. No word on how many give a damn.

Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, most Bush supporters still cling to the belief that Saddam had WMD or a major WMD program just before the war. They need to hold onto this because they also believe that invading Iraq would not be justified if it did not have WMD and did not support al-Qaeda.

Of course, Bush is doing nothing to educate his flock on the facts. Their ignorance is his key to victory.
