    (George Bush Senior's Father's Sister)
    ...former roommate?

    The funny thing is that since Bush and Kerry are distant cousins, we could take George's siblings, daughters, and parents, and point to them as "Kerry Relatives for Bush."

    It certainly does seem like that. However, the crowd that runs this site, as well as the majority of readers, are a pretty bright bunch that generally takes time to think, and it's hardly surprising that the tendency is anti-Bush. I would disagree with the pro-Kerry statement, though. A lot of kerry supporters (myself included) are not so much FOR Kerry as we are AGAINST Bush. It's all about removing the unprecedented incompetence, not about electing a blue blood from Massachusetts.

    He's right. Slashdot's politics section is a veritable soapbox for Kerry supporters, which isn't surprising, since most of the editors here are liberal. Sure, they point out that pudge is a Republican, but who cares? Alan Colmes is a liberal, but most people think Fox News reeks of conservative bias anyway.

    This place is becoming like the lite version of Democratic Underground. How about some criticism of Kerry and the left? They're not perfect either.

    A significant number of commentators are pretty immature, in that they assume bright people must be anti-Bush. Part of maturity is realizing those who disagree with you are not necessarily stupid.

    Everyone in the Bush family who is for Bush is a Kerry Relative for Bush. And everyone in the Kerry family who is for Kerry is a Bush Relative for Kerry.

    Yawn.

    The fact that these people are distant relatives of Bush is completely irrelevant. They have added nothing to the discussion that hasn't already been said in a more intelligent fashion elsewhere. All I see is a poorly designed website that's like a run-on sentence with no organization.
