Sure this is masochistic stupidity, but is it any worse that what goes on in this country every day? Just remember: Half of America voted for George W. Bush ... TWICE.
But, as a recent essay noted, there's a small upside there; We now absolutely know what doesn't work. As Robert Creamer puts it:
History will record that George W. Bush made one critically important contribution to our country -- and to the entire world. He and his administration provided unquestionable proof of the bankruptcy of radical-conservative ideology, and set the stage for a qualitatively different progressive era in American politics. By actually putting into practice the Neo-Conservative theories of pre-emptive war and unilateralism, George W. Bush demonstrated their failure more persuasively than could the most articulate progressive critic.
