People just aren't believing the Bush machine spin this time.
Oh, yes they are- and not only are they believing it, they're embracing it.
Maybe a few less folks are completely clueless in the face of Bush's latest cock-up & the BuShite whitewash, but the U.S. is still in Iraq "Defending Freedon"[sic], they still believe there was some connection between Iraq & the Twin Towers attack, they still think 'No Child's Left Behind' and the "Patriot Act" wonderful pieces of legislation, that there's a "Social Security Crisis", that the U.S. is fighting-and winning- the "War On Terror" that there's no such thing as global warming, etc. etc. etc.
Your optimism in the face of the massive brain death of the U.S. electorate is a bit premature.
Problem with the Bushites is they just hate truth.
