After healthcare can we focus on education?

Do I laugh, cry, scream? I'm just not sure what to say...

Here's the thing, these people all seem like nice people. They are confused, they've been loyal to a party that has repeatedly lied to them and taken advantage of that loyalty. They have been tricked into thinking that politics and their religious beliefs go hand in hand. They now have no idea who to trust, they have no idea what is the truth and what is a lie because they've been on a path that requires any truth to be confirmed by the bible and if it can't be they dismiss it. They have so many holes in what would be their logical thought patterns that they just don't know what to think anymore. So they turn to Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin to help them know, to help them understand...and what they hear is SCARY. Death panels, commu-facis-socialism. The horror! They have gotten so caught up that they don't seem to realize they are totally wrong. The look on their faces when they are told the truth about Czars, the complete lack of any sort of follow up thoughts to standard talking points they have been taught to spew, the total lack of understanding or desire to understand what is actually happening in this country. It's frightening and it's sad.
