so yeah, some people will buy anything

Fugg 'em

Latest is that they clipped out the part of Obama's UN speech where he says "...the future does not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam...", and they made a whole show about it--proving that Obama is indeed a Muslim! My mother reported this to me, so I googled it and sent her the entire clip.

I think a lot of them got their first impression of the horse race from the debate.
They didn't hear Romney's previous lies.

I put a lot of the blame on RW talk radio and media outlets such as fox news. They have polarized the parties to the point of rabid sports fans and spread hate and fear like dust in the wind. My thoughts are that it all started with "the silent majority" and the "christian coalition."

People are ignorant and intellectually lazy. "Reading is stupid" is a prevailing attitude in this country. Smart people are derided. Science is disputed in favor of mythology.

Oh yeah, I no problem believing it at all.

That's just utterly amazing.


In other words, those who believe it are stupid.
Really

beyond belief.

Thank you, Bill Hicks, describing a similar type of situation:

Thanks for the laugh.

I would have loved to have seen him perform (or "live", in both meanings.)

And even after all these years, his commentary is still relevant.

.. because he's Black.

we pay more than 6% more than anyone else and yet we receive no better healthcare than most industrialized countries. For all the business majors who are in my opinion way overrated as far as intelligence(and I was a business major), this is a perfect example of their stupidity.
In your final year of school you have a class called business policy. They are case studies of business problems and you have to write up the most logical solution.

If we changed healthcare to let's say software or any service not a single one of these students would choose the "more expensive" solution. Yet they all choose our present system.

I think it is personality types - really authoritarians (prefer strength, power, dominance and closed minded - e.g. monarchies) versus non-authoritarians (interested in equality and fairness, tolerant, open minded to others e.g democracy).

I'm 56 I really don't believe republicans believe in small "d" democracy - they would much prefer a monarchy of rich white people e.g. Romney and Ryan both born into wealth and antithetical to notions of "merit" that republicans so willingly espouse.

In many ways telling someone you disagree with his/her politics is telling him/her you don't like their personality - and it is likely and unfortunately, true.

elected G. W. Bush twice. They are not an enlightened bunch when taken as a whole.

I know they stole the election in 2000 and Ohio in 2004

That idiot probably had a majority of the votes in '04... I know but we need to keep it clear enough that they can't steal it. I mean really can you believe that enough people were fooled by G. W. to put '00 and '04 where they were?

by this pool of American "geniuses". Its the fucking backwards-ass South, and everyone knows it.

beat everyone over the head until they recognize that bullying, lying, being rude and unhinged is not only winning, it's sexy and it's what leadership is all about, baby!

The cursory American political animal needs only nibbles of information - despite the veracity of the source - to formulate an opinion.

Because of this, the American Era will be short (less than 100 years). And, we're at the end of it.

no deeper. Those of us who pay attention are in the minority.

the sleazy scoundrel who hides his money overseas and LIES non-stop.

they get all of their information from hate radio and fox "news". They have no idea what the truth is.

Dont recall ever seeing it.

Unfortunately, no complaining means agreement in some people's minds. I was stunned beyond belief when I saw President Obama shaking his head to Romney lying as if agreeing with Romney, that was unbearable to watch.

If he can't draw the line and stop lies soew rught in front of him and show their differences, who will?

If anything they cling to lies so naturally they'd go for Mitwit and Lyan.

but no, they are (were, I don't know because I don't want to see their gobbing yaps working and do the 'click' on them) yelling at obama.

jerks.
