20. Maybe it's just because I've been in Oregon and Minnesota
but I don't know a single older person who can mention Bush without spitting his name out or at least speaking it through clenched teeth.

These are the people who remember the Depression. My grandmother didn't live to see Bushboy selected, but she was angry at the Republicans in the Senate for trying to screw the poor and working class, because she remembered the early years of the Depression when there were food riots in Minneapolis, and she was afraid that the same thing would happen again if the rabid Republicans got into power.
