Why do Republicans suck so bad at graphics?

[wtmusic]

I swear, for all the f*cking money these groups hold on to, they can't find good web designers?

Common denominator is the vibe "I'LL CONTINUE TO SHOUT AT YOU UNTIL YOU STFU AND LISTEN!!" Another good reason to never, ever go there...

1. It's not surprising to see a lack of creativity

The only creative thing that they excel in is lying.

2. design is creativity, which requires

an open mind and a hunger for the truth

the very act of creation changes the status quo and is, by definition, not conservative

it is virtually impossible to be both creative and conservative

3. so true

another contrast is that "progressive" websites seem to be much more utilitarian and concerned with the visitor's experience (no surprise there)

7. basic empathy

utterly lacking in today's "conservatives."

4. Because "graphics" is just a subset of "everything"

5. A right-brain v left-brain thing?

6. Underneath that coarse exterior, they're really luddites at heart.

8. Graphics? They don't know what graphics are.

How on earth could they be close to good at them? They all act as though they are all inbred and mentally ....erm challenged. :shrug:

9. And why is it that so many of them have either

a huge self-righteous smirk or a nasty glowering frown on their faces at those websites? Who wants to see that?

10. probably too cheap to pay for it - a website design should be free, right?
