2. I'm seriously beginning to wonder about the 28% who approve
of Junior. Are we sure they really exist? Do Christian fundamentalists actually make up 1/4 of our vocal population?

You know, one could do these kind of questions and get similar answers in pretty much every country. At least that is what I thought after the beginning and I still think so when it's about a general ignorance concerning these kind of questions. But some of the answers were really worrying.
Questions like "Who is in the axis of evil" and one answer was "California, New York", another one was "all of them" or something like this.
Or why should we invade this country? "Because of their attitude".

edit: Concerning the last part about national security and not questioning anything what the Administration tells them, I think I do understand why so many believed Bush lies, now.
