I'd add: They may use terms which would seem to an outside observer as attempting to be insulting. They will avoid reasoned defences of Bush's policies. (In fact, they may not even know what those policies are. If indeed anyone does.) They will avoid discussions of Bush's capabilities and qualifications to lead. They will probably mention guns (for), abortion (against) and prayer (instead of education). However, if fortunate they may be at least coherent.

Do not forget, they will wrap themselves in the flag, paint their faces red, white and blue, and imply that only a patriot (like them) could understand the issues involved and come to the "correct" conclusion. They will make helpful constructive comments on your sexual orientation, fondness for animals (in that special way) and possibly, point out areas where your spouse might find you deficient. They will reference ALL democratic politicians who have ever done anything "wrong" and throw them into any argument. They show special fondness for any politician(s) who might be in the news of the moment (because they have short memories). There will be interminable references to this person or these persons. They will talk about a past that never was, and a future that would include only people like themselves. I've left a lot out. But I'm going out to breakfast. That seems like more fun. Know what I mean?
