Are American Voters as Stupid as Democrats Bank On?
New Media Journal ^ | June 12, 2008 | JB Williams

Posted on 06/12/2008 12:07:07 PM PDT by PlainOleAmerican

I’d love to be able to say that American voters are far too intelligent to ever fall for the socialist drivel currently peddled by the New Democrat Party, aka - the Democratic Socialists of America. But that would be a lie...

Sadly, many Americans are indeed stupid enough to overlook the reality that “universal health care” and “socialized medicine” is the same thing. They are indeed stupid enough to support socialism over economic freedom, a greater communal good over individual liberty, a nanny state over self-governance and even a completely unqualified half-black 100% Marxist for president over a man who paid the ultimate price for American freedom in a Vietnam prison camp.

Just how stupid is the average American voter today?

(Then the writer lists just how stupid the average voter really is, and provides some VERY interesting information!)

What does "half-black" have to do with the point he's making?

I'm not one to see racism around every corner but that phrase being thrown in there has no revelance and smacks of it.

You are the reason this country is a mess...

At least we know who to blame now.

He seems to have left his good sense and backbone in Vietnam... No argument from me.

You are the reason this country is a mess... - I disagree, whoever said he paid the ultimate price does not understand the meaning of the word in that context. That Onelife pointed it out simply means they understand that phrase better than the author.

The U.S. is still the greatest country in the world. . .it’s the citizens I don’t have much faith in any more.

You are living in a fantasy land if you think Republicans can even hold a candle to Democrats spending habits...

This is why conservatives are poised to lose it all this fall. They aren’t dealing in reality. They overstate McCain’s obvious flaws and gorssly underestimate Obama’s.

Keep it up and watch what life under a Marxist Black Muslim is like, with a Democratic Socialist of America controlled congress, press and court.

Most Americans pay no attention to politics whatsoever. The gas crunch is good, insofar as it gets people thinking about public policy.

Now I am confused, are you saying when someone says they paid the ultimate price, they are NOT talking about death? I at first thought Planole misunderstood and now you, maybe it is I that misunderstand the phrase. Just looking to get my interpretation of the phrase correct.

It's called racism... I have no problem disliking Obama for a long list of reasons unrelated to his genetic makeup.

Paying the “ultimate price” is generally considered to be paying with ones life. Not to belittle McCain’s sacrifice but 50 some thousand men paid the ultimate price.

The author needs to read my tagline and do some dictionary searching if neccessary.

EVERY American voter should be forced to READ this column OVER and OVER until the TRUTH sinks in!

I'm not sure I want to live in a country where I'm forced to read something because someone else thought it was interesting.

Like I tell my kids, ignorance is the absence of knowledge. Stupidity is the possession of knowledge, and the unwillingness to use it.

Well, they elected and re-elect Bill Clinton.

They elect and re-elect Democrats.

The Democrat voters believe that bullshit about man made global warming.

Draw you own conclusions.

I, personally believe that they are stupider than even the Democrats think.
