Epiphany about *$hrub supporters
I was going through a box of old photos over the weekend and found one of me and the biggest lemon of a car I ever bought. I remember my Mother, who has a "sixth sense" about things trying to warn me about the car. My wife didn't want me to buy it and Dad, after driving it pointed out some things that just weren't right about it.

Did I listen? Hell no,I just HAD to have that car,and the salesman was talking it up and making it too easy to take it home. Big mistake!

Fast forward 6-8 months. I was driving it to work, wrenching on it during my lunch hour, sneaking it in and out of the shop by borrowing a friend's truck and moving things that really didn't need to be moved in and out of storage etc. Anything but admit I had bought a lemon. I was upside-down on the payments and didn't know what to do with this junker. I was young and arrogant and I didn't like to admit mistakes back then.

I'm telling this story because I am wondering how many *Chimp voters/supporters are out there coming to the realization that they "bought a lemon" when they cast their votes in 2000. He was everything they wanted while he was "sitting on the lot", but now that they have been driving him for 3 1/2 years, they realize he has not performed anywhere near expectation. They spend all their time trying to keep him patched up and running. Damn, is a president really supposed to be this high maintenence?

The only thing I am wondering is, will *$hrub "throw a rod" before the election or after? Hopefully beforehand.

For the lurking *bush supporters reading this, just remember, it's ok to admit you bought a lemon and trade it in, it can happen to any of us. Hell, you don't even have to admit this one, it's a secret ballot, right?

yesterday.

6. Yeah I agree the only supporters he has are either rich a-holes
dumb as rocks, or just doing it out of spite.

It's not rocket science people. Your "leaders" don't have a freaking clue what they are doing mucking around in the world, getting our soldiers killed, and our enemies "liberated" by killing and humilating them. Come on, you know this guy couldn't lead his way out of a paper bag.

3. If the early Bush supporters have any intelligence,
they found out long ago that they backed a dunce and a very dangerous one at that. For those who still back him, I don't think there is much help for them. I don't think they will every realize they back a monster and if they do realize it, they are too stupid to do anything about it.

4. Too bad they can't invoke the lemon law on Bush.
Great comparison, there. He's one heck of a lemon. :)

5. sure enough

It would be nice if we could, but with the rethugs controlling both houses, it would be like getting the car dealership to invoke the lemon law on themselves.
