It never ceases to amaze me how we American's (and the world on a hold) has become so dumb and gullible.... For some people, Obama can never do wrong...
"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." Quote by: Benjamin Franklin
Until those of us that pay for them leave, or stop paying! Glad someone read between the lines!!! These people, like Obama are eternally glued to a system of government that keeps people on the dole. Obama is a product of the modern welfare society, never having had to work, all the while going to the best schools on the backs of people that actually worked. People love him because he's just like them. He promises to continue to perpetuate the system of take but never create. He offers everyone the ability to be just like him.
Obama doesn't beleive that people should stay on the dole forever. Through education they should be able to get a good paying government job.
That's why he wants a civilian army and every youth between 16 and 17 to spend one year in the armed service to teach "disipline."
Correct. Obama is sending the Boy Scouts to secure the border with Mexico. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/14/us/14explorers.html?_r=3
Howdy everyone. Anyone who cares about health care reform I recommend reading this. The battle is just getting started and the enemy (the health insurance companies and any politicians who are against a public option) will not go down without a fight. They have so much money to lose (and obviously, yes, this is all about money for them) ... It makes me sick to think about the people who go against their own self interests because of these despicable lying ads. If Blue Cross Blue Shield says it then it's a LIE. It's as simple as that. No one should even consider what the insurance companies have to say.
Luckily the stupid people are still the minority. Trouble is, the stupid people get a lot of the not so stupid people to follow them when they are fed up with the intelligent people. It's a real catch 22.
I agree with you as always Zibblu. I've actually done an extremely good job educating myself by not considering what others have to say! I would like to add that there is an exception to that rule, insofar as terrorists and leaders of countries who want to bring us down should be listened to because Barack says we need to listen to our enemies. If it is a US citizen or corporate interest with an opposing view point however, their words are LIES and given not even be given consideration. Why can people not understand such basic concepts?
Considering that Obama has just doled out $1 trillion in stimulus spending, Obama's numbers are not looking good.
Statistically, liberals are much more likely to have a college degree and have scored high on SATs and IQ tests than conservatives. And Rasmussen has a very right-wing bent in their polling, it consistently ranks Obama much lower than the normal and larger Gallup/Reuters/AP/CNN etc. polls.
Quite a bit there....but you're perfectly right. I would expect you to show stats that prove your point about liberals being smarter. Because from what I understand, and read.....its otherwise. When a person becomes smart they get their ass of the welfare system and leave the democratic party behind. Also you might wat to know that Rasmussen was the most accurate polling system for the last two elections....
Hey man, can you dig up a link for evidence of that? I've been looking for such evidence of this for some time without success. I've come up with lots of information to show those working as Educators are predominantly left leaning. I've also been able to find an indirect connection between education and political alignment, though it doesn't wind up where I would like it. There is a direct correlation between your level of education and your income. Higher education = higher income There is also a direct correlation between your income level and your political affiliation although, unfortunately, it seems the lower income people tend to be Democrats. I would love it if you could provide me some statistics that show Republicans are a bunch of uneducated rednecks.
And they tend to lack, common sense, integrity, ethics, and experience. So what's the other end of the spectrum? A left-wing bend? In reality, Rasmussen offers about the best wide range of the spectrum, while the aforementioned tend to be tailored to exact a given response. I can't believe you lobbed CNN in there... EEk... Of all the pollsters out there, its the most blatantly skewed.
Obama is at 65% as of today. The dude is Teflon. Get used to it right wingers. He's the Democratic version of Ronald Reagan. My concern is what will he actually get done, he's moved the right direction on a lot of things but not on some others. I think the health care reform thing will be a huge indicator of how successful he will be. If he doesn't get a public option then I'm going to be greatly disappointed. Not only because of how important that is, but because I think it'll be a clear harbinger of him not moving the country in the right (left) direction in the future.
