Why? Democracy.

Just look at this thread. I'm sure the average interest in politics and enlightenment level of the Backroom frequenters is relatively higher than most of the population, and yet the sentiment, "Kerry insulted our troops!" is still very prevalent.

Quite frankly, some of the people just scream how sick they are of the government on one side and then go out to vote for them again on the other, with excuses such as "The lesser evil" or "Loyalty to my Party." Or better yet, "Kerry insulted our troops."
