Who are the 48%
If you were hiring a body guard wouldn't you want the meanest, scariest son of a bitch you could find?
The movie "Pitch Black" had a relevant theme. A ship carrying regular passengers also contains a prisonor who is a cold-bloodied murderer. When the ship crash lands on a planet, suddenly the murderer goes from being worthless scum to the necessary and needed crazy murduring son of a bitch who can save the other passengers from an onslaught of murdering alien life forms.
Those 48% see the republicans as mean and crazy enough to do anything to protect them, not realizing tough talk hides stupidty and cowardice, and in the end is actually a greater source of danger then the purported enemy.
I would want a scary son of a bitch for a body-guard, but I would also like to know he would be sensible, discreet, rational and listen to and take direction. In other words not be a stupid crazy fuk like Bush who starts dumb ass wars for no sane reason.
