...a majority of the American people “Taking Our Temperature”

Progressive talking heads, including President Obama, recently adopted the idiom “a majority of the American people” in order to misrepresent public sentiment concerning their radical positions; suffice it to say that, in these cases, the truth has been quite the opposite.

They know that of course, and this is why their rhetoric remains so spirited. To Obama and his co-conspirators on the left, lying comes as naturally as breathing.

Though radicals appear to be on the verge of a wholesale usurpation of political power in America, they realize that their end game is not going to endear them to that majority of the American people. Thus, their tone, declarations, and allegations have reached epic proportions in terms of outrageousness.

Democrat lawmakers and the Obama administration are currently crafting yet more “immigration reform” legislation. It is commonly understood that this will amount to amnesty for millions of Mexican nationals currently living illegally in the U.S. – so commonly understood in fact, that illegals are now flooding U.S./Mexico border in anticipation of this prospect, some allegedly asking authorities, “Where do we go to get our amnesty?

Republican lawmakers, ostensibly in an effort to play nice, are once again in ankle-grabbing mode on the issue, although this isn’t likely to make them the friends they think they’ll make. A recent poll shows that likely voters “strongly favor enforcement over legalization for illegal immigrants.

Unlike a number of other recent polls, the new survey avoids the false choice of conditional legalization versus mass deportation. The survey also shows that a significant majority of Republicans, and voters generally, are less likely to vote for members of Congress or a political party that supports legalization” (Center for Immigration Studies).

I thought some of the polling was questionable.

Some of the polling is out right lies and manipulation.

Just like Obama’s post 2012 election 56% popularity rating that went right back down to 40% immediately after he was sworn in for his second term.

After amnesty, Obama is not going to have to worry that 70% of the electorate is opposed, because he will have 40 million new amnestied voters to swamp the votes of the American citizens who had Amnesty rammed down their throats against their wills,

If we do not want the left to walk away with the vote from here on out, we will have to have jobs in America.

Where are the jobs?

There are no new jobs. None.

Everything is imported.

This is similar to the technique of stating an opinion, then arguing from authority, an argumentation fallacy, express the fallacy in a slightly different form.

"We must all grow two heads; it's the right thing to do." An obvious absurdity.

"We must provide lifetime support for a growing majority of indolent national residents; it's the right thing to do." Not so obvious.

Documentation File on the harmful impact of the Counterculture of Obamanation on America.

___________________

Barry Soetoro, aka B. Hussein Obama, 5 days before the end of GWB’s Presidential term, said: “We are five days away from FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!”

Going on 5 years now, the best friends that Obama could have had to help him achieve his above stated dastardly goal were the RINO leadership in the US House and Senate, AND THEY ARE STILL IN POWER!

_____________________

IMHO, the Counterculture of Obamanation will continue to destroy America for as long as the US Congressional RINOs allow it to, and not one minute more - - - - .

Make marijuana legal says a new poll, but reality is more smoky than that

***************************************EXCERPT**************************************

There's a reason most US politicians aren't coming out in favor of legalizing marijuana: the public support isn't there

I am not interested in any way about whether any demagogue thinks something it the "right thing to do."

I only care about whether it's the Constitutional thing to do."
So long as it isn't Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid making the judgement, without the bother of properly amending the Constitution.

Personally, I’d be a lot happier if I didn’t feel that these folks taking my temperature weren’t always using a large and unlubricated rectal thermometer.

Harry J Enten

He said nothing of the sort. What he said was, "The great uptick in marijuana support over the past three years probably isn't where Pew says it is and a rise in support is in no way guaranteed in the future."

And that's a suspect explanation for politicians' behavior, since there's no reason to think many pols have even been aware of this analysis. A more obvious explanation is readily at hand: pols owe too much to those who profit from the futile war on marijuana.
