People gave up on Bush's economic plans, as such, when offered it by McCain they said NO. When offered a more extreme version by Romney, they said NO! Now, it's possible that there is mind control drugs in the TV, and shampoo, and the dems got ahold of the controls, and all the statistics that state things like 94% of scientists are democratic vs 6% are republican, there being a positive correlation between intelligence and liberal political ideologies, etc. are all BS.
Or they are all real, factual, and correct, as there are so many statistics from so many sources that they aren't connected providing them more academic strength.
Which is more likely?
