includes The Peoples Republic of Wisconsin) are located, my quess is that
they'd think that was far enough from them as to be safe, but only if they
were able to locate their own state on a map.

If the Republicans are counting on the pig ignorance of the American
voters they may or may not be on firm ground. For example, here's an
article from April 2004:

US Majority Still Believe in Iraq's WMD, al-Qaeda Ties

But this is October 2006.

Ah, yes, another Carville wannabe shows up...it's not "ignorance," it's
apathy, and you and Ken are as apathetic as anyone. You're so convinced
of your correctness that you don't see any need to expend any effort to
at least check to see if your kool-aid is spiked, too. Heck, no need to
question anything - NPR, Pelosi, Howard the Duck, and Billary have saved
yer soul! They have HEALED ya, brothers and sisters! YOU HAVE SEEN THE
LIGHT AND JESUS IS THAT LIG...oh, wait...sorry...wrong bunch...YOU HAVE
SEEN THE LIGHT AND BECAUSE OF THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, JESUS
WON'T BE MENTIONED!! Gimme that ol' time relig...oops, sorry again...ya
just can't keep up with which nuts are which...gimme that Clinton-era
bull****, gimme that Clinton-era bull****...

And both parties not only count on it, they encourage it.

For example, here's an article from April 2004:

And your point is...?
