re: #288 Obdicut

I don’t think it has to do with intelligence. And I think that the statistics on, say, belief in AGW show how effective propaganda is at fooling people.

Ah, I think there’s a difference when the discussion concerns contributions that may affect whether or not a politician takes policy stands that unduly favor foreign interests over US interests, and the idiocy that is anti-global warming. That should NOT be a partisan issue, not one bit, and I’m clueless as to why it seems to be. And because it is, people just won’t listen to folks who they believe represent “the other side”, will in fact, reject out of hand whatever it is “the other side” has to say.
