The other 40% don’t know what the word ‘economy’ means...or they’re liberals. But, I repeat myself.

The other 40% are Hollywood, MSM, the White House and Progressive billionaires - who all need to be put on a slow boat to the place who owns us.

The other 40% are still very confident they will soon be receiving their free cars and gas from Obama’s stash.

Exactly! Or they will update their “facebook status” with how exciting they believe their lives are.

We, who sadly are aware of this country's demise are in trouble. God help this nation...

40% of the people don’t know what is going outside of their favorite reality TV program. They don’t watch the news, they don’t listen to talk radio, and they’re more likely to scan the headlines on a Gossip magazine at the check out stand than a headline on the paper.

I pray to God these people are to lazy to pry themselves from the boob tube to vote.
