Come on we do this all the time and for good reason. The fact that 30% 
of Americans are Born Again Christians doesn't make me question my 
religious beliefs or lack thereof. I am sure that most people who are 
Libertarians on this list don't constantly question the correctness of 
their beliefs based on what the majority think.

Perhaps Samantha has already sat down and carefully weighed up all the 
evidence and decided that Bush is a moron.
