Folks, the problem with these people isn’t that they are feckless, cowards and liars.

The problem is this: MOST AMERICANS believe the crap they hear WITHOUT BOTHERING TO CHECK IT OUT. People who come here, and check other sites know the facts, or can easily learn them. MOST normal folks hear only the crap they are fed by the media and refuse to bother to check out the facts. So, the PROBLEM here is that Media Matters and MoveOn get AWAY with this stuff because only people who really CARE look up the facts. The rest of them ought not be allowed to vote.

The problem is they believe the soundbites.

Very true. In their defense, I think most Americans are busy - busy working and trying to raise families, etc. They may watch the news or read a newspaper occasionally, and not have the time or the inclination to dig further.
