I now have a name for them.

Bush-bot (n):

A Bush-bot is defined as a person who believes the most important thing in politics is to elect Republicans and hates anyone who believes otherwise.

A Bush-bot will defend his/her chosen one(s) to the death, right or wrong, regardless of any evidence to the contrary of the chosen one's position, simply because the chosen one's surname is followed by an "(R)".

Bush-bots do not blink at sacrificing principle, they will champion a leftist Republican rather than a conservative Republican in the interest of a short-term political win.

Their most common fallback is to namecall - "fringer", "purist", "extremist" and "activist" are frequently used. Bush-bots view any disagreement with anything they believe or dissent of any kind as anti-American. Bush-bots are akin to liberal Democrats except that liberal Democrats aren't as deceptive about what they stand for.

If the above has at all angered you in a personal way, you may be a Bush-bot. As a preventative measure, read the Constitution of the United States.

If any of the above has reinforced in your mind the belief that "anyone who voted for someone other than George W. Bush in 2004 hates America, is endangering its security and/or could be responsible killing my children and grandchildren", you are a full-blown Bush-bot.

You may also be a Bush-bot if:

* You blame Clinton for 9/11
* You have used the "Well, Clinton got a blowjob" argument to defend any Republican, their actions or ethics
* You blame Clinton for anything after 2002
* You play the "Clinton card" when arguing with people who don't agree with you
* You think the reason we went to war in Iraq was to liberate a country from a brutal dictator
* You think Iraq had ties to Al-Qadea
* You have at least one magnetic ribbon that says "Support Our Troops" on your SUV
* You think that there is still a liberal media bias
* You think Dubya dutifully served his time in the National Guard and received no favoritism
* Conversely, you believed the Swift Boat Veteran's attacks on John Kerry

There are many, many other indications that you may be a Bush-bot that are not listed here.

As of yet there is no cure for acute Bush-botism. However, the severity of the symptoms may lessen with generous doses of tolerance, humility, wisdom and conscience.
