If we aren't stupid, we are at least blind and lazy.
Some people still think there are WMD's in Iraq, even though we have stopped looking for them.
Some people still associate the Iraq war with the war in Afgahnistan.
Some people think to protest a war is to not care about the soldiers.

Another writer, Don from Peoria, says that Illinois is out of step, that John Kerry's showing here is a negative event. He contends that it shows the rest of Americans that we are out of step with them. We are in the minority view of who and what are most important to America's future.
55% of Illinois voted for Kerry, 45% voted for Bush. 51% of Americans voted for Bush, 48% voted for Kerry.
I don't think that's too far out of touch. I think it's ludicrus that more of us don't vote for the other party's candidates. But, ofcourse, I know that everyone wants to vote for somebody known that actually has a chance.
