HOW ON EARTH COULD O'NEIL NOT SEE THIS?!
I will not say anymore more on this subject, but it is a serious flaw in O'Neil character and judgment of people.
A flaw in his character is nonsensical. We vote the way we do for many reasons. Our opponents cannot believe we are crazy enough to vote for Dubya. Read the book and attack the arguments if you like. Don't join the RAT bastards by attacking the messenger.
