By Debbie The Mahablog tries to explain the mind of the Current Resident: Today many wonder how the President can seem so confident we are “winning” in Iraq. Is he truly delusional, or is he just trying to happy-face his way out of trouble? All I know is that he cares passionately about Iraq. You can argue about the purity of his motives but not, I think, about the intensity of his concern. No other subject gets him more worked up at a podium. Last week he made a point of defending his Iraq policy, even as the Republican Party would rather the public not be reminded. This entry is filed under Politics.

Maybe Professor Krugman is a Mahablog lurker. At this point, nobody should have any illusions about Mr. Bush’s character. To put it bluntly, he’s an insecure bully who believes that owning up to a mistake, any mistake, would undermine his manhood — and who therefore lives in a dream world in which all of his policies are succeeding and all of his officials are doing a heckuva job. Just last week he declared himself “pleased with the progress we’re making” in Iraq. [...] […] What I’ve been saying. Maybe Professor Krugman is a Mahablog lurker.

Psychosis means one is out of touch with reality. As to why people will follow someone like that is not clear to me either. It's got to do with emotions, mostly fears and IMO not wanting to take responsibility for thinking for oneself. Erinyes, you don’t comprehend psychotic behavior coz you’re not psychotic.

As a psychological profile Bush is fascinating. What is terrifying is that so many 'moral' people voted for him. Was I hallucinating when listening to the radio today hearing Bush say something along the lines of - if the Democrats win the terrorists win. The man and his ardent supporters are marching in a latter day goose step, still the many of the people I come across shrug about the details of politics and government. Or they have major facts wrong. Sports and celebrity break ups get more hits on google news. Can democracy survive both proto fascism at a time of blissfull ignorance and ambivalence. A draft may change that. shudder. Self interest etc. Nice post Maha, as usual. As a psychological profile Bush is fascinating. What is terrifying is that so many ‘moral’ people voted for him.

I just don't get it. How could anyone support Bush after he made fun of Carla Fay Parker. If the world survives global warming long enough, I am sure psychiatrists will study how this man and his cohorts fooled so many people into becoming rigid supporters who will not listen to common sense about what a disaster he has been for our country and the world. There is something truly evil at work here. erinyes, I feel the same way you do. I just don’t get it. How could anyone support Bush after he made fun of Carla Fay Parker.

He got the votes. Greed Oil Politics. That is what the GOP has been reduced to by these malignant incompetents. He is a trick-or-treat child that dresses up in the clothes of grown ups. Remember the flight suit? The Bush doll. It wets when you say Vietnam. Of course he doesn’t care about the war he started for votes. He got the votes. Greed Oil Politics.

It's uncomprehensible to me that he has an adoring, even worshiping base. I don't get it, I don't get it, I don't get it. Perhaps Grannyeagle can 'splain it to me, because I don't comprehend psychotic behavior.
