It's impossible to underestimate the STUPIDITY of the US voting public.
Socialists know that the sheep will follow the last and loudest voice they hear. Sound bites are measured precisely to what the sheep's attention span can handle during episodes of "Friends".
Sheep need someone to tell them what to think. And with most of the major mass media under Socialist control, it's easy to get Truth 2.0 to them. And the truth they get is this:
- The War in Iraq was wrong;
- Bush lied (doesn't matter about what, he just did);
- Bush knew about 9-11/WMD's/Enron;
-Kerry's a real decorated war hero; and
- The majority of US citizens are protesting the War on Terror (note that it's the ENTIRE war, not just Iraq), troops are dying in droves, and Bush stole the 2000 Election.
Because that's all the sheep hear. And the sheep believe.
