There is a personality type [ENTP on the Myers Briggs continuum] that can get people to go along with schemes... and they are eternal optimists, I really think that they don't typically have an exit strategy at all, not a concrete one... Regarding the comment that it's ok to steal from rich Republicans, what kind of shit is that? When is theft ok? Socialism is theft and it destroys everybody in it's path, I think that the evidence of that is pretty clear....
1) I believe I am an ISTJ. 2) After a Democratic fundraiser gets arrested for the same "thing", I will respond the same way as before. 3) When "smart" people are shown to be "stupid", it's funny. Don't get bent-out-of-shape over it.
