16. That 23% was Bush's base.

You may be giving them too much credit. They are sheep. The neo-cons exploited them for their own nefarious ends, and they are STILL swinging them around by the rings they have through their noses to bash the rest of us. The strength of sheep lies in their herd mentality; they stick together no matter what. Thinking people are first and foremost individuals. They agree on a few broad points, but their weakness is they fall apart over petty details. Take a look at some of these threads if you're dubious. If only 24% of us stood together, we'd beat them at their game.
