How are up to three quarters of Bush supporters

like mushrooms?

Apparently they've been kept in the dark and fed shit. (Pardon my Freedom.) According to a mid-October poll, a strong percentage of self-described Bush supporters believe that Iraq did have weapons of mass destruction, had ongoing programs to produce more, and was supporting al Qaida. They also believe that the Bush administration supports many international treaties it is instead on record as opposing, including the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, land mine treaty and, most unbelievable of all, the Kyoto Protocol.

“One of the reasons that Bush supporters have these (erroneous) beliefs is that they perceive the Bush administration confirming them,” noted Steven Kull, PIPA’s director. “Interestingly, this is one point on which Bush and Kerry supporters agree.”

So, perhaps that Bush-supporting relative or co-worker is simply misinformed. Could it hurt to bring these issues up and maybe, just maybe, open their eyes a little?
