  • do victims of war understand subtleties, such as 'the reason we're bombing out your homes, destroying your roads, and sometimes shooting cars that don't stop is to protect you'?

  • can you actually prove that people who voted for bush are actually less intelligent and less informed?

  • do words such as neocon, conservative, liberal, or even moderate put you in boxes that simply aren't accurate?

For number two, I remember seeing some charts showing that Bush voters were less intelligent (if you believe internet charts).

For three, I usually ignore people whose immediate rebuttal to an arguement involves them calling the other a "liberal" or "conservative," those types are usually only in the discussion to feel as if they are a pundit.

1. Who knows, but mostly I doubt they care that much about "your" motives when they or their family or their homes are in grave danger.
2. Yes, report shows that those who have false ideas about Iraq, Afghanistan, 9/11 and so on are mostly republicans, I'm sure someone will post a link to it.
3. Sometimes, these words have though become more of an insult, except moderate, used to brand people as with an extreme viewpoint.
