Its this weird thing.

Theres a scene in that film about the Watergate and the washingtom Post, where one of the informants on CREEP says, I'm a Republican despite what I've got to say.... and the reporter says Well I'm a Republican too...

And you WONDER why in hell the Republicans keep selecting these representatives who are people they are deeply ashamed of. I heard loads of people pretty pissed off to find that they were voting for Reagan. The younger Bush seemed to grow in popularity - but I heard a lot of people not initially happy with him as a candidat his insularity, his apparent lack of ability with the spoken word.
