The mindset of a conservative low-information voter

So I asked my very-Repuke dad... why was Bush able to pass legislation with less than 60 Republican senators and it was ok, but if Obama and the Dems do it - they are usurping the will of the people?


His answer:

"Because Bush was only proposing legislation that had broad bipartisan support and the support of the American people."




No shit. That was his answer.

That's what 2 decades of Rush Limbaugh and 1 decade of Sean Hannity and Glen Beck have created.



That's the mindset that we're up against.

1. You're talking about one conservative low-information voter.
How many of them do you really think there are? Don't say something stupid like, "Duh, all of them." If you say that, then you become one of the low-information voters because you'll be underestimating the opponent.

2. Not all of them... but a sizeable chunk.

Listen to the callers on Hannity's show.


That's how they think.
