Misleading statements on the war

[tw]

It gets depressing. I talk to strangers quiet regularly now because the US government has become so bad. Too often (ie last night) people don't even know what the Axis of Evil is. A few still insist that Saddam had conspired with bin Laden to attack the WTC. Moreso, most are Kerry supporters (which is contrary to what polls say). They don't even know facts. Most just feel George is bad. But its all about feelings - only feelings.

Debates are about emotion. I don't watch them. No reason to. No facts will be learned. I wait for the polls and responses. That says how people really think. Facts be damned. Who appeared to be a leader verses who lost his cool is more important. A pathetic way to judge people. And yet that is what so many do. It makes about as much logical sense as "stay the course".

First they get a feeling. Then wrap that feeling in summary and logical sounding opinions. I never understood this thinking. But then Hitler did which is why he was so phenomenally successful in Germany.
