Making Complete Sense

Ah, now I get it. 

A 51% majority of national GOP primary voters erroneously think President Obama was not born in the U.S. 28% know that he was. With the latter, Palin’s favorability rating is 41-52—other than Ron Paul, the only candidate these voters view negatively. But with birthers, she has a soaring 83-12, far higher than for any of the others.

I completely understand Sarah Palin now and why she is as popular as she is.

Why is it that polls only matter when they show anti liberal trends? But when they show information like this they must be inaccurate!

Any percentage of "Birthers" in the Republican party is always taken as proof of their intellectual vacancy.

And yet, no matter that a commission largely made up of Bush's enemies cleared him, the fact that over 60% of Democrats are "9/11 Truthers", including one of Obama's own cabinet members, didn't mean anything relative to the intellectual relevance of Democrats.

Amazing.
