Bah, Humbug! Why do those Republicans continue to flaunt their complete ignorance? There has to be more to it that greed for profit. They have to be just plain stupid!

My guess is that much of the stupidity these politicians they don't believe themselves: they just figure that stupidifying the US public with a constant torrent of falsehood and misinformation will lead the nation to a state where our rulers can do exactly what they want because most of the electorate will be swallowing absolute nonsense while being engrossed in reality TV and the Living Frontline Hell of the War to Save Christmas.
