Nope, better look elsewhere. Some people will believe what they want to believe, despite the facts in evidence! John Deans' thoughts about authoritarian personalities and the people that need them (the 28%) certainly applies to some of the posters here. They refuse to believe the truth because they cannot handle the truth. A look at history would show some of you who are less widely read, that this desire to follow an authoritarian figure figured prominently in the rise to power of Adolf Hitler. Some people need a Daddy (like Bush) to lead them! Following religious leaders, blindly, is the same. "Oh take from me the burden of having to decide what to do."

Read John Dean's Conservatives Without Conscience. He explains it very clearly there. These are the 28%ers. They lack an ability to think for themselves so they need someone or some entity in their life to make decisions for them, like a church or a political party. “It would appear that superpatriots such as my neighbors are quite willing to sacrifice reason and intellect for the emotional high of their patriotic fervor.”
