I would be willing to bet this has been the most ever since it isnt two old white guys this year. ...and yes my sig is ironic
Dumb people get to vote too. I'm amazed at how desperate the McCain campaign has got. If you can't win a fair election on the issues and by persuading the voters, manipulating and scaring voters out of not voting so you can win is about as slimy as it gets. With the Republican party it never ceases to amaze me though.
I'm glad you admit a significant voting bloc for Obama is represented by "dumb people". I agree. It will be interesting to see after he's elected when he doesn't live up to the promises people have imprinted on him, what happens. There really are people out there who think he's going to make everything terrible in their life glorious. I heard a quote about a woman who claimed he was going to help her fill her gas tank and pay her mortgage. Now, that is what you call a sucker.
I'd say its evenly proportionate. I'd say anybody who can claim that Obama is a terrorist, Arab, Communist and Marxist is even more dumb than somebody who thinks Obama will help the country out. People who buy into that schtick the neo-con talking heads are spewing are equally suckers.
Agreed. I'm actually quite impressed that you didn't use the typical line of "Democrats are smart, Republicans are dumb". There's far too much stupidity in this country, and that's why we need to completely overhaul our education system.
My dad always told me it was "Republicans are evil, Democrats are stupid." Either way, these are typical Rovian tactics which have been employed in the last 8 years, trying to dupe people into not voting. Democracy at its best. I've gone on the record in another thread that these are total dick moves.
First of all, what makes you think that the McCain campaign is behind any of this stuff? Second of all, you don't believe for a minute that there's none of this kind of thing going on in the other direction, do you? I don't have a third of all, lol...
The McCain campaign itself doesn't have to bring these things up. They can paint the tone of the campaign without straight forwardly calling him a socialist or insinuating that he has radical beliefs because he was on a board with Ayers. They have surrogates like Bachman from Minnesota to do that for him. They also have a whole network of cable news to do that for him. Watch 10 minutes of any Fox Noise show and you'll be bombarded with it. McCain himself hasn't shied away from insinuating that Obama is a socialist without flat out saying it: I haven't seen any kind of claims of character directed towards McCain by the Obama campaign and there is plenty to run with as well. Keating 5 or his affair are just a few that can be exploited. This is a big election that the McCain campaign is trying to win based on small issues. That style of politics is not effective anymore. As the American people are going to show tomorrow when Obama is elected President overwhelmingly.
Did your dad also tell you that Jews are cheap, blacks like fried chicken and watermelon, that Orientals are bad drivers and Mexicans are lazy?
