All of 'em some of the time, some of 'em all of the time, but...

Gosh, apparently fewer than half of us now think that Mr. Bush is honest. What could possibly account for this fact? Could it be liberal media bias? A mysterious burst of Q-radiation from the sky? al Qaeda mind-control ray? What? What could explain this? What could make most Americans think that their president is dishonest? Frankly I'm stumped.

Or. Not.

But I trust my Big Media. Really.

interesting, tvd. But what percentage of Americans identify themselves as Dems and what percentage as Republicans?

tvd,

The Reps have just learned how to work they system better:

Total votes in 2004 Senate races:

D - 44,014,943
R - 39,920,562

I'm too lazy to do the math for the 2000 and 2002 races, as well as the House numbers. But wanna bet they don't differ by much, and if they do, there's no way Reps in Congress have received more votes than Dems?

Also, Dems have received more votes than Reps in three out of the last four Presidentials.

And if Rep Presidential voters actually knew what they were voting for, you might be able to just keep your rhetorical head above water:

Please remember what I said:

"I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it."

Dunno, WS. Last few things I saw left me with the impression that things are pretty even.
