It isn't so much the left is stupid. They are entitled. They have been protected for so long by their minions in the propaganda machine we call the media that they are comfortable blatantly lying about everything. It is just now catching up with them. The republican establishment is part and parcel to the corruption that has gripped Washington politics for so many decades. It's been building almost since the founding. When money and power are involved many people do crazy things. I'm afraid it's going to take a lot of Rope.
