Almost Two Thirds of Dems Believe Pelousy

I've always rejected the "they must be stupid" explanation of Democrat voters. But how else to explain this:

A majority of Democratic voters believe House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claim that the CIA lied to her about interrogation techniques used on detainees in 2002, according to a new poll released Monday.
The Rasmussen Reports survey reports that 62 percent of Democrats believe Pelosi's account.

Even more alarming is that only 62% of Republicans understand that Pelousy is lying, not the CIA. Maybe it's just hard to doubt someone with such an honest face.

Nancy Pelosi

On a tip from Gregory of Yardale.

Actually, the main article says 62% of Republicans think she is not telling the complete truth - the rest may have just hung up the phone. There is no information on the wording of the poll - which is often used to skew results. I dont trust Rasmussen as much. as Gallup.

Van, Did you have to use that picture so close to lunch? I almost spewed all over my keyboard.

The Democrat mindset is "If one of our people says it, it must be true."

Note, when Obama opposes gay marriage, he is beloved, because he is part of the collective. Carrie Prejean holds precisely the same opinion on gay marriage, but she is a "dumb b-tch," because she is outside the collective.

Being a Democrat requires no critical thought, just the ability to unquestioningly accept whatever MiniTruth says today, even if it contradicts what MiniTruth said last week.

Whoops, there was a mistake that's been fixed. 62% of Dems believe Pelousy, and 62% of Republicans don't.

So, they believe her statement that the CIA lied to her. It is unfortunate that the same poll did not ask if the same persons believed the many other incarnations of her statement about what she did and did not know and when. That would have led to an interesting analysis.

Assuming granny nan gets off by using the excuse the CIA lied, I wonder how many of the same people will let Bush off because the CIA lied to him about WMD in Iraq.

That picture looks like a creepy zombie Mary Tyler Moore.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why there is any doubt about whether Pelosi is telling the truth. If her (latest) story was anywhere close to the truth, it would have been her first story on the issue, not her fourth.

It's called partisanship and the accusations thrown at pelosi are nothing compared to the accusations thrown at Bush, Cheny, Addington, Rumsfeld...

I say go after Pelosi if she lied so be it I'm not going to prejudge her either way and I won't prejudge the torture accusations either but lets have a full investigation so that we know what's true and what isn't.

Liberal democrats are definitely not stupid.
Ignorant maybe (usually), but even that doesn't completely explain the "flat earth" mentality of liberals.

Rather, they represent a population that has gradually selected out a genetic disposition for honesty.

I wonder how much this hideous bitch charges to haunt a house!

Everybody has it backwards. Let us know if Pelosi ever tells the truth about anything and then let's investigate and find out why--obviously something will be very wrong. Perhaps a rip in the space-time continuum and a warp across dimensions or it will be an omen of coming disaster and a sign of the end times.

Posted by: SnowSnake at May 20, 2009 6:19 PM

It's not that 62% believe she's truthful. That many people can't be stupid--even democrats. It's that they're defiant and want to stand by her, so they are being dishonest in their answer to the pollster. And after all, the apples don't fall far from the tree.

Willy,

Correct. And what does this say about the integrity of Democrats and their "concerns" about "torture"?
Only that they will lie the moment one of their lying own is exposed.

The American public has to come to realize that liberals constitute a twisted personality type worthy of a DMS IV classification, should be detected as such and completely eliminated from ever holding political office.

Sounds like Fiberal would prefer a nice cozy totalitarian state where the opposition can be silenced for spurious reasons.

Looks like Nancy needs a little more fiber in her diet. That picture makes her look either constipated or she just got a pat on the bum from Joe 'Igor' Biden.

I would hate to have sex with that. UUUUGLY!!!

When I look at that picture, I see a face-painted corpse that must have strings attached to it to keep it moving (and lying).

STUPID QUOTES FROM


BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA


THIS IS THE BEST THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO OFFER!


You should see their Vice President, Speaker Of The House and even their Press Secretary!

Nice mature article... name calling and distorted pictures.

There is something you need to understand; They are all lairs.

The Republicans know that Pelosi will never be investigated. Which is why they are making all the noise. They are just posturing.

Can you imagine what would happen if there really was an investigation?

They are all implicated and should all be fired.
