USA method of governing:

1. Make a poll that makes answering anything but A sound bad.
2. Determine that 90% of the people picked A.
3. Tell everyone, over and over, that 90% of the US wants Q, because 
they all picked A. Never mind that Q is a blatant distortion of what 
*most* people likely intended when they said A.
4. If called on it, ignore the fact, and just release a new misleading poll.
5. If necessary, lie, so people pick the right answer again.
6. Insist that, since you have stacked the data in your favor, this is 
what the people "want". Thus, what you are doing, even when someone 
else's poll shows 180 degrees the opposite result, is what the people 
"want".
7. Rake in the cash, buy stock options, and get reelected.
8. Return to #1.

Mind, I might be biased, but this seems to be *way* more common among so 
called "conservatives". It seems that having "higher morals" means you 
get to lie, cheat, steal, etc., as long as you don't get caught at it, 
while *not* claiming the moral high ground in the first place means you 
are an evil, communist, bent on destroying the country. lol

As one person put it, "You don't get to claim that your beliefs make you 
more moral, have better values, and a clearer idea what the *right* 
thing to do is, then the next day cry, 'But I am human, like everyone 
else, so its hardly a surprise I was found soliciting a male prostitute, 
in the office of the BP CEO, with my pants stuffed with Chinese 
currency!" Either you *are* made better by your supposed superior views, 
or you are a hypocrite, and liar. The other side doesn't even have to be 
better than you, you just have to be **as bad**.
