I agree that having numerous people misinformed about the issues is a bad thing. But then, [factually correct but infuriating statement in 3, 2, 1...] ]how else would you have large numbers of people supporting the Republican Party?[/URL]

We have already discussed the Pipa report and I pointed out its obvious bias as well as Kerry supporters follies in it, but being such a smart and educated guy you most likely already know that.
What does it say about you to take someone’s word on it without relying looking at the raw data or thinking about what kind of questions were asked? Are you misinformed or was it a flaw in your education?
In short when you are going to make an infuriating statement, do yourself a favor and hold back because someone like me will come along and point out that perhaps it is you who fit the very description of "misinformed" you are tying to place on the Republican voters.
Thanks and I hope you learned something useful.
