What if the people are not as stupid as Bush and the Repubs think??
What if they see through what they are saying and what they are really doing? Isn't that a scary thought?

What if half the Republicans were not buying the bullshit and the deception? That may not be a realistic thought but it sure as hell is nice to think about... :)

1. I driftly slowly past Faux News during that "Beltway Boys": they seemed
to be saying that they didn't support the energy bill, but then again, it does have some good progressive features, like modernizing our energy use... I can't paraphrase it, but got a clear impression that the worm has definitely turned.

6. Never underestimate the stupidity
of the American people.That would be a big mistake.It's no mistake that the states at the bottom of education funding are all red states.

8. You can´t fool all of the people all the time. . .
"If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can´t fool all of the people all the time."

        -- Abraham Lincoln (attributed, not confirmed, but true nonetheless)
