Don't get me wrong... I'm not a guy who scares easily. I'm a huge fan of the horror genre, and I spent my youth watching the Hammer Films Dracula movies and playing gory games like Quake. Plus, I'm a liberal. Been that way for a long long time, with a (fortunately) brief fling with conservatism back in the 80's. I've felt pity for those guys... being unable to recognize Truth if it kissed them on the nose.
But after closely looking at the current crop of Republican Presidential candidates for 2008, I finally realized why they were so frightening.
No, it's not their stances on social issues like abortion, AIDS, and immigration. No, it's not their backwards views on science and education. No, it's not their rather voodoo like invocation of Ronald Reagan on every occasion.
It's the fact that they look so.... evil.
