>> only you and ten others believe that nonsense. Actually, as of February of this year, 50% (+/- 4.1 points) believed we did not make the right decision to go to war in Iraq, according to a Pew poll. 38% believed we DID make the right decision, and 12% were undecided.

Rep. John Conyers (D-umbass) Loses Appeal, Won’t Appear On Ballot… I can’t think of a more embarrassing way to lose your seat. Weasel Zippers ZIP \| May 23, 2014 Michigan Rep. John Conyers, one of the longest-serving Democrats in Congress, lost his appeal Friday to get on the August primary ballot after state officials found problems with his nominating petitions. The decision is a blow for Conyers and fellow Democrats, who are scrambling to find a way to keep the long-time incumbent in the House. One possibility is for Conyers to mount a write-in campaign, which can be an uphill climb. The decision came down Friday from the Secretary of State’s office. The office determined that Detroit-area officials were correct in keeping Conyers off the ballot, since he “failed to submit” a minimum of 1,000 signatures to qualify. Wayne County officials had said there were problems with some people who collected signatures — the circulators weren’t registered to vote or had listed a wrong registration address. LINK
