What disgusts me more than anything is that so many GOP politicians are running scared from the liberal press. Even Rick Santorum (who is sweating out an uphill re-election bid) is choking on his own bile to join the Democrats on this "issue" because he figures the ignorant rabble will actually buy the sound-bites they hear on their car radios that we are about to be overrun with docks full of Muslims fork-lifting A-bombs off of ships and onto waiting trucks.
Politics laced with a little (or a lot) of ignorance is a powerful force.
The American public is truly stuck on stupid on this issue. The Democrats are demagoguing it, and the Republicans are acting like lemmings, scrambling to get to the right of the Democrats on it.
I have never seen ignorance prevail in such a blatant way.
Ok... *sigh* I was wrong about him.
