Gawd…. Look, let’s make this very clear: if you voted for Bush in the last election, you have no business being near a voting booth on the next go round, never mind saying clueless things about young people voting. Your average 30 or 40 something Republican meathead who relies on the likes of Fox News and these moronic blog sites for information would lose out on a standardized test to a doorknob.

Just the comments here regarding Hussein and his supposed WMD’s and ties to al-Qaeda show how absolutely disconnected so many Republicans are now from reality: the Iraq invasion was never more than an implementation of a then standing braindead PNAC policy desire, with 9/11 used vilely and cynically as just a murderous excuse. The overwhelming evidence piling up in the months before the invasion was showing neither active WMD’s, ties to al-Qaeda, nor even any ties to terrorist organizations outside of the Palestinians. But thanks to the “enabling” corporate media, not only people bought into Bush’s lying ass claims and reasons, but at one point, nearly 70% of the US population were thinking Hussein had something to do with 9/11!

The bottom line is that if you still to this day think that the Iraq invasion was and is something more than a massive, deadly clusterf*ck of lies and incompetence, and that global warming is some sort of liberal conspiracy, do this country and the world a huge favor and don’t go anywhere near a voting booth come November 4th. Seriously.
