What I fail to understand is that Stymie and his minions consistantly refer to his policies and programs as "popular" ... The Auto Bailout , The Stimulus , Stymiecare , Gay Marriage , Tax Increases etc. , etc., ... while , at the same time , every reliable poll of note shows all of them to be decidedly unpopular . The bastards brazenly defy and ingnore facts . What is black is white , what is isn't , up is down ... It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen in American Politics and I've been following it avidly since 1964 . They've sold a sh*t-load of Americans on the idea that this country is a fantasyland where everybody runs around wearing wax lips and eating free candy dispensed by a kindly old man in a big white house ! It's not just Washington ... this whole country has become Bullsh*t Central !
