Sweet jeebus...
I don't know whether to be angry, sad, or another emotion that I can't describe. Are people really this dumb? :eyes:

Ohio: Bush 50, Obama 42

We'll start rolling out our Ohio poll results tomorrow but there's one finding on the poll that pretty much sums it up: by a 50-42 margin voters there say they'd rather have George W. Bush in the White House right now than Barack Obama.

Independents hold that view by a 44-37 margin and there are more Democrats who would take Bush back (11%) than there are Republicans who think Obama's preferable (3%.)

A couple months ago I thought the Pennsylvanias and Missouris and Ohios of the world were the biggest battlegrounds for 2010 but when you see numbers like this it makes you think it's probably actually the Californias and the Wisconsins and the Washingtons.

There's not much doubt things are getting worse for Democrats...and they were already pretty bad. Somehow the party base needs to get reinvigorated over the next two months or there's going to be a very, very steep price to pay.

2. LOL
Let me explain this so it is easy to understand.

All the media, and the polls, are not the views of the people. They are the views of a few people that think they can run society.


Totalitarianism, monarch, people unable to self rule, many of them are part of that thought.

4. pure, unadulterated juvenile-ism
Edited on Wed Sep-01-10 08:37 PM by SoCalDem
scenario:

Parents go away for a week.. teens find debit card, clean out the bank account, throw a big-ass party, end up wrecking a car & burning the house down.

Parents return and a few weeks later teens are mad as hell because their planned study-abroad trip is canceled by parents and the trips to restaurants & to fun events get canceled because they cannot afford it.

Teens cannot understand why parents are so "mean", and why all the mess is not cleaned up...it's been WEEKS!

5. The administration is either very naive or complicit in what's going on
I refuse to believe they could possibly be THAT naive, so I'm left with one distasteful conclusion:

We voted for Roosevelt but we got Clinton.

(Tom Hartmann put that thought in my head).

7. It's Ohio for crying out loud, you know the state that passed a law that made it
illegal for any man to perform oral sex on a woman, even with her consent? There is a lot of stupid in Ohio and I'm related to some of the dumber ones who are stuck in 1959. Any family get togethers they bring up how much they hate their segregated public school system, usually because one of their kids got kicked out for bullying minorities. Even with family you can't fix stupid.
