Frank has it.

And Paul also

Answer 1

Interesting question. Never thought of it like that, but I see your point. And the left has been looking more and more 'foaming at the mouth' than I've seen them in a long time. Their mania may tend to concern folks at election time, particularly when you consider the fact that the democrats are so beholden to and act at the behest of the radical left like CodePink and MoveOn.

Answer 2

I don't think that the conspiracy theories or the 'blaming Bush' (BDS as it is now referred, whatever) will have anything to do with what the MAJORITY of the population will consider when going to the polls to vote. Despite the small percentage of extremist both right and left - I have faith that there is a higher percentage of moderates who weigh each issue carefully and make a sensible choice based on what they expect from the next administration. Those same moderates are not so easily fooled by the propaganda coming from the right or left....they have their own reasons for wanting change.

Answer 3

Nope--no more than all the Right Wingers saying that Clinton killed Vincent Foster had any impact.

It's just as nuts, just from the other far extreme. Except, 9/11 conspiracy theorists aren't in left field. They're in the parking lot of the softball field across the street from left field.

Answer 4

To answer your question;

I don't think it will as much as say a Hillary on the top of the ticket for the DNC. Having a really disliked person such as Hillary on the ticket in November will drive conservatives out in droves to cast a vote against her. Thus making Republicans on the ticket better off on winning their elections nationwide.

Answer 5

I have written lot of answers to questions on Bush .He is not instrumental in a conspiracy to eliminate Benazir Bhutto.
But, I always maintained that

Bush is responsible for making world as more unsafe after his invasion of Iraq ......mainly for OIL.....but, with a baseless story of WMD in Iraq and Saddam's link with Al Queda.
Today, the Americans are the most hated people on earth and world is witnessing terrorism in greater scale than ever before , because of his wrong policy so far as invasion of Iraq is concerned and neglecting the economic growth of the country he belongs to.

Answer 6

Exactly the opposite. I'm giving the American public credit for being able to see through the crap that Bush has tried to push on the country.
Bush has pretty much assured a win for the Democrats. This country is ready for a change.

Answer 7

I don't think the Republicans have a chance. The biggest issue in the minds of the voters is the war in Iraq. None of the mainstream Republican candidates are allowed to criticize it or Bush, or to say what they think he's done wrong and how they might do it better. The 'swing voters' that the Republicans need to win are turned off, they see Bush as a failure and so do even some staunch Republicans. The whole party is crusin' for a bruisin'.

Answer 8

The John Birch Society is one of the most radical far right right wing CONSPIRACY THEORY organizations that you'd ever want to meet in a dark alley. Their members are generally Republican, NeoCon, Christian, white, male high-school graduates or GED and usually vote straight down the middle consistently for right wing republican candidates.

The John Birch Society (JBS) is a conservative U.S. organization that was founded in California in 1958 to fight the perceived threat of Communism.

It represents itself as "a membership-based organization dedicated to restoring and preserving freedom under the United States Constitution." It states that its members come from all walks of life and are active throughout the 50 states as part of local chapters. The Society invites all Americans to explore its website, learn more about the John Birch Society, and consider joining with in its mission to achieve "Less Government, More Responsibility, and - With God's Help - a Better World."

JBS advocates the abolition of income tax, and the repeal of civil rights legislation, which it sees as being Communist in inspiration. For this reason, its opponents characterise it as a white citizens' society dedicated to preventing minorities from gaining political power.

"For people who believe in conspiracies, there's one sitting there waiting for them. Here's one for your favourite conspiracy theorist. In case anybody misunderstands, I don't believe this for one moment, but it's the kind of thing that goes around: How can we undermine and destroy all of these popular movements? Let's send them off on some crazy wild goose chase which is going to involve them in extremely detailed analysis and microanalysis and discussion of things that don't matter." Quoted, Milan Rai, Chomsky's Politics, Verso, 1995, p. 182

Answer 9

They are just that, conspiracy theories and left wing talking points which the leftists leadership know are untrue but also know that truth is irrelevant if they can get enough lemmings to buy into it. I think that it does paint the democrats as hate America, personal power at all costs types and that does help republicans- how much we wont know until November

Answer 10

Possibly, because the people who come up with the conspiracy theories are associated with the left in this country. The main stream Americans know that the theorists are nuts so they may be inclined to vote for the right.
