Subject: RE: BS: 2012 Presidential Election
Why do people believe this stuff? Are they really that stupid, or are they so focused on winning that they are willing to set aside honor?

- Death panels in the health care plan.
- Obama is a socialist.
- The health care plan is socialism (but the military is not???)
- George Bush is owed thanks for the finding of bin Laden!!!???
- George Bush was elected.
- Birthers.
- Swift boat attacks.
- Tax cuts will fix the economy.
- Rich people aren't rich enough.
- Rich people will create jobs out of their personal income (as
   opposed to corporate earnings).
- Unions should just go away.
- Rape is only rape if the woman gets beat up.
- Men get to decide whether or not a woman should have a baby.
- The United States is a Christian country.
- Our government gets to decide who we sleep with.
- "Pro Life" doesn't extend to capital punishment or war.
and on and on and on.

How can they live with themselves?
