You make a great point and good argument! But it works the same on all sides of every single political and social issue. Your "shit mixed dish" analogy is exactly how lots of folks feel about the Bush administration's reasons for going to war. There is so much bullshit in the mix that like many people, I can't take any of his justifications for the Iraq war seriously, or as you put it, "eat his shit dishes". Most people in America on all sides of the political spectrum eat up bullshit because it's what they want to believe, not taking the time to try and filter fact from fiction at all. And it's not going to change anytime soon. There is no pure truth out there, and one must go above and beyond one or two media, religious, political, education, or entertainment sources to form a logical perspective of issues. It's human nature to accept what makes you feel good without question, and most people in the public eye use that to their political advantage.

Agreed on all points.
