Nobody likes to admit they've been PUNKED.
I think one of the reasons neo cons get away with all their bullshit lies is because so many people hate to admit they've been hoaxed, played, screwed, bamboozled, hoodwinked, and just generally punked out.

Millions get punked every day, the neo cons expect it now, they realize no matter how big the lie or hoax, millions will eat it up without question and call it candy.

They've been hoaxing us from day one, with the stolen elections and the supreme court. The fact that bush is president is a hoax. The fact that he is a cowboy from Texas, hoax. His military duty was a hoax, his aw shucks mannerisms, a hoax.

Lots of lies have been exposed on the nine eleven commission report, weapons of mass destruction, the reasons for war, the toppling of the Saddam statue, all hoaxes.

Innumerable thwarted terror attacks, lies about troop numbers and lies about the length of the war's duration, lies about pull outs and lies about Osama. We have been subjected to the biggest, most horrific hoax ever perpetrated on a nation.

I'm tired of it. I wish I could find one goddamn politician that isn't hoaxing me about something. Last weeks exercises in hysteria from the skies is a perfect example of how easily hoaxed we are now. Half of the population believes it, the other half don't, that in itself is a sad situation. We should be able to believe at least half of what we hear, but I'd say its more like 5%.

Some of the most world shattering events to go down in the last 6 wonderful years have been flat out deceptions, lies, hoaxes and cheap tricks, and the suckers just keep eating it up.

I'm no genius who can see hoaxes where others can't, I just got tired of the constant stream of lies and hoaxes coming out 24/7 from the biggest bunch of murderous fakers to ever occupy OUR white house.

I ain't playin' no more you fuckers, I ain't playin'.

1. Yep. Dead on.
All it can be at this point is willful ignorance. It sickens me on a daily basis.

2. The emperor has no clothes.
Most people can see through this, more or less. But the media keeps trumpeting about how great the emperor's new clothes are, hoping we all still believe it.

7. people don't realize how hard it is to find out that it is all lies

It makes you feel scared and stupid at the same time. And also sad, if you really love America and believed all these things about it, and then you find out it is just corporations punking you and probably getting you killed. So the easiest thing is to keep pretending like you believe it and yell at anybody who says it is a lie.

11. People vote Repug...
not because they believe in what the Repugs are doing or agree with that party. They continue to vote against their best interest because they don't want to be on the losing side. This is why America is so fickle. The tides could change again and the pendulum could swing back to the Repugs. That's the way of poliTRICKS. Also, I think the Repug party tries to convince people that they care for the common folk; that everyone can be rich like they are; and that tax breaks will have a positive impact on their lives. I am fully convinced myself that these people don't really believe this nonsense but have only convinced themselves of this "truth." So even when the facts are presented and can't be argued with, many of them will use so-called "wedge" points to justify their support. Nevermind that we know that Iraq had no WMD's (although most Americans still think they did). Nevermind that the evidence points to a host of illegal, unconstitutional, even criminal behavior by this administration...

As long as those faggots can't marry; and because Georgie seems to be someone we all want to have a beer with, people will continue to make justifications for their voting decisions even in light of all the overwhelmingly, compelling evidence.

It's very sad. And the MSM doesn't help matters, either.
