Given the cast of characters in the Bush Administration, I really do believe that the 30% are absolute idiots. Chimpy and Co are talking their language in all areas of the government. The only intelligent people are probably in Treasury. Where they got this idiot... wow. They have got to be smoking pot, and seing who can keep a straight face. It is the only sane explanation.

It is not al queda that wants us to be afaraid, but the Bushies. They play the fear factor like a violin. Rudy in 2007, recently said that only a Republican can keep us safe from terrorists. Cheney said in 2004, basically, vote Republican or die. Don't be bamboozled by this Republican fear-mongering, it's what they want to stay in power. They should be guillotined instead.
