With luck, the American public is discerning enough to recognize the difference between lying about consensual sex and lying to justify a unilateral invasion that cost thousands of innocent lives, hundreds of billions of dollars, and the good will of much of the world. With luck, even your average innumerate American will recognize that adding a couple trillion dollars to the national debt is bad for America and inconsistent with conservative values. With luck, enough Americans will agree selling America piecemeal to the highest bidder is not in our best interests, and will arise from their apathy come election day.Originally posted by: glenn1
No argument. But the political parties seem to make a routine of incorrectly calculating the effects of various revelations to the American public. The Republicans were amazed when Monica Lewinski didn't hurt Clinton. The Democrats were amazed when Iran-Contra didn't hurt Reagan. Etc, etc, ad nauseum.Not that you care, but if the majority of Americans don't notice/care if we never find WMD I'd find that really sad.
But I'm not betting on it.
