Republicans still insisting on their own "facts"
By Richard K. Barry
How clueless are Republicans, you may ask? Well, according to Huffington Post, pretty clueless.
As we should all know by now, that was a key argument by President Bush for the invasion and it turned out to be untrue.
It does beg the question how you run a national political campaign when so many voters are willfully ignorant of the most basic facts.
Maybe you just repeatedly tell your base the lies to which they are most attached. You know, the Romney way.

How clueless are Republicans, you may ask? Well, according to Huffington Post, pretty clueless.
[A new poll] constructed by Dartmouth government professor Benjamin Valentino and conducted by YouGov from April 26 to May 2, found that fully 63 percent of Republican respondents believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. invaded in 2003.
Go ahead. Look for yourself.
