While both conspiracy theories are nutty, believing President Bush and the neocons were somehow behind 9/11 or knew about it in advance is living completely detached from reality. So I ask, which party has nuttier nuts and which has more of them?

22% Believe Bush Knew About 9/11 Attacks in Advance - Rasmussen Reports™ Poll says 35% of Democrats

Poll: 28% of Republicans don't believe Obama was born in U.S. - Ben Smith - POLITICO.com And this is a Daily KOS poll so take it with a block of salt

Seems pretty clear to me.

Well, it depends on what you mean by "knew" and how they asked the question. You've got to remember, evidence has come forward that Bush had several intelligence reports that an attack was imminent. So yeah, I know he knew an attack was coming, but I think this was so big no one really could believe it would happen like that.

Now, do I believe that the Bush administration knew there was good intel that there were no WMD's in Iraq, yeah, I think they choose to ignore all of the evidence that Saddam didn't have WMD's. I think they should have let the United Nations finish their work.

This would explain why 100% of con-artists view America as a target rich environment

Really. When I see how gullible so many of my fellow Americans are, I'm tempted to start thinking of ways to cash in on this myself.

So if the fruitcake Democrats cancel out the wacko Republicans, does that mean the rest of us can get on with our lives?

I'm surprised the % of democrats who believe Bush had prior knowledge isn't a lot higher. As you well know, Democrats are not very intelligent or well informed. They drink the koolaid and listen to their socialist leader...
Those able to think for themselves, are Republicans...

perhaps there is more evidence of one than the other. a straw poll makes nothing towards the argument you are making. Plus it ignores what reps or dems think about the other poll... not that it makes bit of difference.

40% of democrats like lemons but only 38% of rep like grapes it all ads up to sour grapes... Who gives a $hit

I think they are both wacky.

I do believe Bush had warning signs of 9/11 but did not know about it right then. I do believe if his administration knew it was coming then and there, they would have raised security.

What was the title of that memo that Condolezza Rice spent about 2 hours trying to avoid saying the title
