[Peace-discuss] Pointless primary

[LAURIE SOLOMON]

Hmm!  It does not seem to be only the electorate that is ill-informed but
the candidates as well.  It should make for a very interesting election when
the mental midgets go out to select from among the mentally challenged
candidates to see what idiot will lead them into the asylum.   Amerika
certainly is more like the civilized sane world of English and the Germans
and less like the more rational asylum population in The King of Hearts.

Ah yes, another example of our ill-informed electorate. And folks on this
very list were arguing some months back w/ posts describing joe sixpack in
those terms??

NH Voters Thought McCain Opposed the Iraq War?
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008 in News by James Bovard

CNN crunched the exit poll data from yesterday's New Hampshire primary 
and found that "among the 34 percent [of Republican primary voters] who 
said they disapproved of the war, McCain had a wide advantage over the 
GOP field - even over Texas Rep. Ron Paul, the sole advocate of a U.S. 
withdrawal in the Republican field." (hat tip to Think Progress).

Perhaps such voters did not realize the temporal difference between 
exiting Iraq "now" (in Ron Paul's case) versus 10,000 years from now (in 
McCain's case, according to his comment on CBS's Face the Nation last week).

McCain has rarely missed a chance to grovel at Bush's feet to support 
the Iraq war...
