As Robert Anton Wilson once wrote in commenting on the 1976 presidential race, “Politically I suppose I should have supported Ed Clark, but I’m not that kind of Libertarian; I don’t hate poor people.”

Oh, and yes, I know the Libertarian nominee that year was Roger MacBride; but Wilson was writing early in the year.

Ah, nice to see that Shodan is happy to celebrate a lie, in addition to pussying out on the religion thread.

Hey now. Shodan’s not asserting that Ron Paul thinks that Bush knew about 9/11 in advance. He’s simply taking the opportunity to fling shit at Democrats.
Shodan? 35% of Democrats think Bush knew about 9/11 in advance. Okay. Far more Republicans believe that Iraq had WMD, and that experts agreed that Iraq had WMD. http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/home_page/186.php?nid=&id=&pnt=186&lb=hmpg2
I mean, shit, 28% of the population of the US still approves of the job Bush is doing.
Conclusion: Most people are idiots who are easily led by the media, and believe what they want to believe. Democrats want to believe Bush is bad. Republicans want to believe Bush is good. Maybe someday some of them will wake up
I started a thread about an interesting MSNBC poll once… seems somehow apt in the context of this conversation.
