When you fear for your life, you might find comfort in religion. You might find comfort following a leader who stresses your own good qualities. You might find meaning in these things.
Not to sound like a totally irrational conspiracy monger, but it is pretty well proven that the GOP has better 'think tanks' than the Dems do (so the Dems even have any?). The GOP has been using these brain trusts for years to help craft the parties image and rhetoric to focus on themes that will get them elected. Not policies that they intend to strengthen once in office mind you, but ideas that tug at "Middle America"'s heart strings. Banners waving, bands playing and people kissing babies; how could you not love someone who just wants you to know you are 'the best'?
I have to admit though, when McCain says that we are the hardest working people in the world; Why do I feel like he is talking about me like I am a farm tractor? "Nothing runs like an American!"
