A week of waking with what?
Shoot me now...

Half the respondents of a new poll say taxing the richest Americans by at least 50 percent is a great idea, while more than a third consider Twitter a fad that will likely fade.
Those are among the findings of a new "60 Minutes"-Vanity Fair Poll released Sunday.
Nearly half of the respondents chose Wal-Mart as the institution that best symbolizes America today, leaving in the dust runners-up Google, Microsoft, the NFL, and the banking and securities firm Goldman Sachs.
Dining out was chosen most often by respondents as a luxury they hate sacrificing in these tough economic times. And 5 percent thought the best way to fight obesity among patrons of fast-food chains is to equip each restaurant with scales for them to weigh themselves.
A politician taking bribes is considered by far the greater sin (chosen by 37 percent of the respondents) when stacked against extramarital affairs (just 2 percent).
President Barack Obama has set a time table for a troop pullout in Iraq by 2011. But one-third of poll respondents predicted he won't be setting a time table for removing troops from Afghanistan. Meanwhile, 31 percent said he would time it to the beginning of the next presidential campaign, and 25 percent chose "in about a year."
Obama was edged out by George Clooney (24 percent to 26 percent) among respondents choosing "which man they would most like to trade places with for a week," followed by Tom Brady and Bruce Springsteen.
But among woman, First Lady Michelle Obama was the favorite, chosen by 26 percent, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton picked by 16 percent, actress Angelina Jolie by 13 percent and singer Beyonce selected by 12 percent.

Hmmm... in other words, America is a massive conglomeration full of Chinese owned merchandise? Sounds about right to me.
Although they sampled 1097 “random Americans,” it doesn’t say what their refusal rate was, and the fact that it was taken over a weekend is not encouraging. Sorry. I’m calling this a push-poll; not scientific.

Well, no wonder Obama won. If 50% or more really believe that, no conservative will ever be elected President again.
I visited Montreal in July, and it was quite an experience in a french-only speaking wal-mart when youre...well, English only. All in all I would say the French there are a cut above the French in say, Paris.

Speaking purely as a third party here; I predict the following:
Every liberal, socialist, or communist that continues down this path does so at they're own risk.
Soon; and very soon, Americans are going to rise up and begin to push back against those “people”; and they will do so with the force of arms.
When that time comes, there will be no place on this Earth that a liberal, democrat or socialists will be able to hide in the fifty states.
The Americans they so instantly label as right wing extremists, and domestic terrorist? Well, they know who “you” are. And make no mistake about it, they've been making their own list's too.
Come Judgment Day you WILL be hunted down.
If your lucky, you'll be shot on sight or executed by firing squad.
For those “special” people; you'll probably be tried, then hanged like the cockroaches that you are.
Again, this is simply a prediction.
Me too. Big gigantic boxes. I don’t think so.
You just don't like her because she's a negress :-)
I like Walmart, where I did most of my routine shopping in the US. I lived in the country, so small town Walmarts were great. Saying that they sell Chinese junk is totally overblown and they are no worse then any other chain store.
That being said, I think most all of western civilization
has reached the Peter Principle, and there will be no
going back to the “good old days”.
In America, massive Hispanic immigration, radical changes
in public, now pubic, education, and developing black power has changed the equation.
Fortunately, for me, I am retired and do not have to live there anymore.
Fat people shopping for cheap Chinese stuff they don’t need. Welcome to Ideocracy.
” If 50% or more really believe that, no conservative will ever be elected President again.”
Once amnesty happens , you can take it to the bank .
” In America, massive Hispanic ILLEGAL immigration “
Fixed
Sucking in taxpayer dollars while the management disregarding what Americans want, to follow their own idea of right (which happens to benefit themselves).
An upper management which routinely rewards themselves for failure.
And a willingness to plow ahead on failed policies.
How could one NOT see the similarities?
” In America, massive Hispanic ILLEGAL immigration “
Yes, for now, but the dear leader will soon see to it that
they will be legal.
He can’t pass up those 20 to 30 million votes.
I hope not too!

If this is what shops there
I quit years ago.
Remember, WalMart gave millions to Obama, they make billions off of food-stamps, welfare, wic, etc. They would also benefit if the health-care bill were passed.
Walmart is a Welfare Corporation guys and gals. Hate me if you must, my job is to inform and make people think. So, Think about it.
Lots of crazy stuff on here this morning LOL!
