If you tell a lie often enough, people will believe it.

In scanning the news prior to the recent Republican Primaries in the Southland, I came across this survey conducted of likely Republican voters in Mississippi and Alabama.

IN ALABAMA

Which leads me to conclude:

  • The 3 year coordinated Republican smear campaign against Barack Hussein Obama has worked in the South.
  • The Republican Evangelicals are winning the war against science (at least in the South.)
  • If you tell a lie often enough, people will believe it.
