1. They never see themselves as the problem, either

because they just don't understand they get only what they're willing to pay for.

I had a parent from Indiana who loved the illusion of tax cuts, even though he grudgingly admitted that pennies in Federal cuts were made up in dollars of state and local tax rises. The last Democrat he voted for was Adlai Stevenson.

In 2004, his last election, he announced out of the blue he was voting for Kerry. I was too busy picking my lower jaw up off the floor to ask him any questions about that, but he'd already complained about the Smear Boat campaign. As a vet, he found it distasteful.

Strange things can happen when the Republicans run disastrous candidates. Maybe it took my dad 4 years, but he finally realized Stupid was, well, stupid and incompetent.
