Unfortunately, I work with a few of them...
These people voted for Willie because they believed the lie that he made the stock market go up, and that he would be their advocate and savior. Despite the facts presented to them that Willie is a bad idea, they prostituted themselves on the altar of selfishness and greed. (i.e.: "Bill said he'd do right for me, and dang if I'd not rather be taken care of than have to do something for myself")
Now, these same people extol the virtues of Spotted Al for the same reason: "Look how the Stock Market has done, Al is good for our country"! I have tried, along with other's here at work, to present them with documented facts (The President does not control the economy!). But I fear those who cast their lot with Willie last time, will do the same with Albert this time. They are purposefully choosing to believe a lie, because (I believe) they lack the moral courage to face the truth, and act upon it, lest they endure a moment of discomfort or see their darling stocks dip to normal rates of return.
