The Furious Spinner

OK. I understand why rich people vote for Bush. After all, he has said they are his constituency. But could someone tell me why poor and lower-middle class people vote for him? The poverty rate has gone up while he's been in office.

Some Iraqi-war veterans are joining the ranks of the anti-war veterans. That's good, but I wonder why they didn't see the futility of this war before they went—the futility of all wars. What confuses me is that so many of us saw that the war in Iraq had nothing to do with WMD, we saw that it was some kind of weird political bid for power or oil or money, we knew Bush would go into Iraq as soon as congress gave him the go ahead: so how come our elected representatives now claim they had no idea? How come the news media now says they were duped? I find these mea culpas just a bit hard to swallow. I have less knowledge than the average congress person (I would guess), and if I could figure out the Iraq war was a scam, and if millions of people around the world knew it was a scam, how come our elected leaders and the news media didn't know? Either they are lying—or maybe some strange group mind sets in. Any guesses?
