Random Quote
There's lots will take things as they are - fat and stupid; and lots will be worried by a sort of feeling that it's all wrong, and that they ought to be doing something. Now whenever things are that a lot of people feel they ought to be doing something, the weak, and those who go weak with a lot of complicated thinking, always make for a sort of do-nothing religion, very pious and superior, and submit to persecution and the will of the Lord. Very likely you've seen the same thing. It's energy in a gale of funk, and turned clean inside out. These cages will be full of psalms and hymns and piety. And those of a less simple sort will work in a bit of - what is it? - eroticism.
[H. G. Wells, from The War of the Worlds]

"...the Senate, as an institution, remains remarkably similar to the body created at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. It retains all of its original powers, including providing advice and consent--yes. You said it. You better read that again in the Constitution. It retains all of its original powers, including providing advice and consent to Presidents on nominations and on treaties, serving as a court of impeachment--you better believe it, Mr. President. The Senate can send you home. You better believe that."
-Senator Robert Byrd on the Senate floor

Right now Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) is on C-SPAN, filibustering until the Senate agrees to vote on his amendment which would end all subsidies to the oil industry when oil price is over $55 a barrel.

According to a recent Zogby poll, 90% of U.S. troops fighting in Iraq believe that it is retaliation for Saddam's role in 9/11.

Since it has been demonstrated that Saddam had no role in 9/11, why do you suppose they are believing this?

"Demonstrating" or "proving" or similar ideas are barely operable terms in mass decision-making and mass communication in the U.S. "Demonstrated" to whom? How so "demonstrated" originally?
You're confusing thinking and reality with politics. A few weeks ago I wrote a bit on how Dub and Vee-Dub originally convinced a third of Americans there was a connection.
I posted it in response to an observation similar to yours.
