Poll: Americans pick Obama over Romney to handle an alien invasion

Poll: Americans pick Obama over Romney to handle an alien invasion
By Alicia M. Cohn - 06/27/12 01:21 PM ET

More Americans are confident in President Obama’s ability to handle an alien invasion than in Mitt Romney’s, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

In a survey conducted for the National Geographic Channel, 65 percent said they’d pick Obama to deal with an invading alien force over Romney. Obama also took the confidence vote among 68 percent of women surveyed, likely a key voting bloc in this scenario as well as in the November election.

In addition, about 79 percent of those surveyed think the government has kept information about aliens and UFOs a secret from the public. Despite that widespread suspicion, only 36 percent actually think UFOs exist, 17 percent don't, and 48 percent aren't sure.

The White House is pretty sure, though, and last December officially announced that the government has found “no evidence” of extraterrestrial life and no "credible information" indicating a cover-up.

More Tyranny. Next are 'real' Aliens...or the next REAL war. Fodder is all this is. It will feed how they think, what they already think.
Substitute real war with 'alien invasion', drivel is what this is and they suck this sort of stuff up. We all know it. ALL part of the game.

How many times have they said stupid shit like this before? and we have read stupid shit like this before. I can think of quite a few times. MORE drivel and it will resonate in their heads, and then they will think it is real and the truth about war and Romney being a better leader. It is HOW they think.
More of the outrageous is ALL I see in this article or poll. Does not matter if the poll is an 'innocent' one or not. AND IT ISN'T, because of the way it makes people think.

I read things like this, YOU SEE THIS ON THE NEWS, instead of REAL facts. IT is more distraction and nonsense.

It is FODDER. People need to understand what this sort of nonsense is and what it does ... BECAUSE THEY BELEIVE IT!!! SEE IT.
EVEN THE POLL SAYS SO..AND THIS IS HOW THEY USE ALL POLLS.

PEOPLE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT.... THIS IS ON AMERICAN SHORES NOW..... UNDERSTAND THIS...... YOU KNOW IT BECAUSE YOU SAID IT.

PEOPLE MUST KNOW THIS NOW NOW NOW.


THIS HAS BEEN HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS NOW.... IT MUST STOP. THIS IS THEIR PLAYBOOK.......


UNDERSTAND THERE IS NO SPECIFIC 'KR' PLAYBOOK..... IT IS A COMBINATION OF PSYOPS, PROPAGANDA AND DECEPTION COUPLED WITH MODERN MEDIA....


IT IS AN ATTACK AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. EVERYTIME THEY USE THESE TACTICS IS AN ATTACK.

THE ORIGINS OF THIS LAY IN NAZI GERMANY AND THE FORMER SOVIET UNION. PERIOD.

PEOPLE MUST UNDERSTAND THIS. THEY HAVE TO LEARN TO SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS.

'New Speak'
Chocolate ration. The chocolate ration in 1983 was 30 grams per week. (For comparison, a standard Hershey's Chocolate Bar is 43 grams) In the year 1984, the chocolate ration went up to 25 grams per week. Winston himself is charged with the task of re-writing history to make this little feat possible.

Who ever suspected that Obama would get the real CT vote? That Kenyan thing was just a diversion. This is some solid polling here. I'm feeling better about November now. Thanks, kpete.

Anyone can listen to Romney for 5 minutes and realize he's not a human being. You can say many things about Obama, but he seems very human.

find a way to make money of the invasion, either by selling the planet, outsourcing jobs to other plants (offshoring doesn't quite cover that), or by setting up a company to screen earthlings for the potential as slaves on alien planets.

Did you see the size of their brains??? I've got a pretty big head as well, and certainly am treated like an alien, maybe my ancestors intermingled with them at some point. I think that a species that has evolved for millions of years, probably knows how to live in harmony, in order to survive so long. Just a theory, otherwise, with their big brains, we're toast!

Is there really an alien invasion closing in? Ordinary citizens can easily be affected by today's pop culture, such as Hollywood movie "Men in Black". But wise people need to think deeper into today's pop culture, knowing the potential long lasting battle behind the surface. Alien is being seen as a life form coming from outside earth. According to Christianity, Christian soul will eventually go to Heaven, a loving place above earth, which can certainly be thought as an alien place. Jesus came from God's place, came from Heaven, so Jesus must be an alien. Not trying to discriminate any culture, also we all know it has been a common belief among Christian people that Jewish people can't go to Heaven because God doesn't think they are good enough. In this case, Jewish people considered as earthly life not an alien. This alien pop culture is highly likely just another modern form of ever lasting battle between Judaism (along with other earthly belief system) and Christianity. Evidence is so convincing especially when such alien pop culture find its way into American politics.

If we think more deeper, as everybody knowing the so called alien UFO activities being observed have one common character, they are technologically way too advanced compared with us. And yet we haven't seen any single thread of fear from Hollywood movies. Today's religious people from whatever religion background are still in awe of their highest deity that hasn't been seen for thousand years, but same people have no fear at all with so called alien UFO that's being reported so close to us right now. What this tells us? It tells us the so called alien UFO activities are made-up stories. Those people who carefully created such stories certainly have no fear to it at all.

Without alien stories our society can be little boring. But when such stories get into our politics we are highly likely see troubles in the future. Keep such stories in the pop culture we see fun. Allow such stories getting into our politics we see war, death, and suffering in the future.
