Bush’s cornpone sophistry

If, like myself, you have been wondering lately how Bush manages to keep a 30% support base, even with all the scandals, then this article breaks it down nicely. Well worth a read:

James Moore and Wayne Slater introduce the first chapter of their book about Karl Rove, Bush’s Brain, with the following quotation from the ancient Athenian philosopher Plato [1]: "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."

It’s a powerful way to start a book about possibly the most effective and infamous political deceiver that has ever lived. For Plato understood well the problems such deceivers cause democracies.
