Latest Republican poll shows a refusal to acknowledge facts...

POLL: MOST REPUBLICANS STILL BELIEVE THAT IRAQ HAD WMD | A new poll conducted by Dartmouth government professor Benjamin Valentino found that 63 percent of Republican respondents still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the United States invaded in 2003, even though this assertion has been thoroughly debunked. In comparison, only 27 percent of independents and less than 15 percent of Democrats believed in the misinformation. Additionally, 64 percent of Republican respondents believe that President Obama was born in another country. As the Huffington Post’s Dan Froomkin notes, “this latest poll result seems to indicate a refusal — unique to the modern Republican Party — to acknowledge facts.”

I wonder what he would have gotten if he had asked how many Republicans gave a shit about either subject.

I believe Israel and that WMD's were moved out before the war.

Hmmm.  Makes you wonder how much credence the other side gives to conspiracy theories.  Oh, wait...

I guess we're supposed to believe he used them all up killing his own countrymen.   ::)

Right.  Saddam used ALL of his WMD on the Kurds.  After that, he had none left.

We gave him PLENTY of time to hide them.

I was frustrated about how long we took to go over there after 9/11.

If I recall - US troops found tons of them. But they were 'old' so they didn't count or somesuch. So - the degraded mustard gas in each shell was only capable of killing hundreds, not thousands. big difference there, if you're a moonbat.

Thank you! I thought I was going crazy when I thought I remembered that.
