I think this works both ways: Most of the lame examples the OP gives have to do with one person and one administration: that seems od, maybe there is truth to some of what is being talked about...Do ya think?

Of course we have the "Kennedy assassination was a conspiracy and 9/11 as well. I don't remember either of these being mentioned by conservatives.

Sure--you can take that to the bank--trying using it as a persuasive argument during the next election. Actually, all it proves is that low information conservatives make judgments using no logic whatsoever.

Anyone ever notice how leftwingers are prone to stupidity?

Fair enough, but considering the numbers are relatively close and everyone is not polled, I find it really hard to believe that the majority of the U.S population are conservatives. So if this is really true why did'nt the conservatives win the Whitehouse? Unless these are the same people that complained about liberals wanting free stuff not realizing that they were also in that same category?

The presidential elections don't reveal everything because not everyone votes.

But yet do you expect me to believe a poll that not everyone participated in?

A lot of African Americans surprisingly self-identify as conservative, but then vote Democrat. Many Democrats self-identify as fiscally moderate or conservative.
