The Stupid Factor
In every election there is always one demographic politicians can count on. The stupid demographic. There are enough stupid voters in that group to sway a close election and politicians know they will believe anything.
Examples;
There are still stupid people who believe Bush found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
There is a whole group of stupid people beyond those who believe it doesn’t matter whether or not he found them or if he lied about the reasons for starting the Iraq war in the first place.
There are still stupid people who believe it is ok to give up our rights as US citizens if the government says it is because they want to protect us.
There are still stupid people who believe that Obama is a muslim.
There are still stupid people who believe the lack of offshore drilling is the reason that gas prices are high and that just by starting offshore drilling again, gas will immediately start costing less.
I suppose even I’m stupid for believing that people will wake up and see our government officials for what they are. Greedy. Plain and simple. Everything they tell us is carefully planned in such a way as to make us believe it is for our safety, for our children, or for our own good, when in reality, it’s about them making more money and staying in power.
