New Study Suggests Bush Supporters Out of Touch With Reality

(1/3) > >>

Ant:
The Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland recently conducted a study that concluded there is a "tendency of Bush supporters to ignore dissonant information."

"The roots of the Bush supporters' resistance to information," according to Steven Kull, "very likely lie in the traumatic experience of 9/11 and equally in the near pitch-perfect leadership that President Bush showed in its immediate wake. This appears to have created a powerful bond between Bush and his supporters--and an idealized image of the President that makes it difficult for his supporters to imagine that he could have made incorrect judgments before the war, that world public opinion could be critical of his policies or that the President could hold foreign policy positions that are at odds with his supporters."

New Study Suggests That WCC User "Ant" Doesn't Realize No One Here Gives a Fuck

Find something more appropriate to say.  This is a 'discussion forum.'  Don't reply to my posts if you don't like them it is your choice.  People read my posts, they get hits, and people PM me telling me they appreciate them.  If you don't like them fine, but the tendency of Bush supporters to want to suppress, ignore, or avoid information that conflicts with their worldview is simply disturbing.

I've been attacked plenty, but refuted rarely.

like tom said in another of your theads, 98% of this board has already decided who they're going to vote for, so the only people that appreciate your anti-bush threads are the people that have hated bush all along. this little study or whatever is non-sense anyways.
