"Are the American sheeple really that ignorant...?"

Let''s see, in the last 40 years or so they''ve voted for:

Nixon......TWICE
Reagan.....TWICE
GW Bush....TWICE

I think that pretty much answers the question.

"Are the American sheeple really that ignorant that they would want four more years of Bush."

In 2004, the Canadian papers summed it up:
"How Could 100 Million People be so Stupid"

If they do it again, then America will deserve what they get.

It seems almost churlish to look at some actual facts.

No presidential candidate was breaking the 50 percent mark in mid-August polls in 2004 or 2000. Obama''s average lead of three to four points is marginally larger than both John Kerry''s and Al Gore''s leads then (each was winning by one point in Gallup surveys). Obama is also ahead of Ronald Reagan in mid-August 1980 (40 percent to Jimmy Carter''s 46). At Pollster.com, which aggregates polls and gauges the electoral count, Obama as of Friday stood at 284 electoral votes, McCain at 169. That means McCain could win all 85 electoral votes in current toss-up states and still lose the election.

From a friend who apparently knows about change (his father was sacrificed because of it):

When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in.
When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed.
When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said, "Praise the Lord."
And when the young leader said, "I will be for change and I''ll bring you change"; everyone yelled, "Viva Fidel!"
By the time the change was complete, more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world the most fortunate Cubans alive. Luckily, we would never fall in America for a young, charismatic leader who promised change without asking him the hard questions and without learning where he really came from...

I can''t think of one. But I can''t think of one for Obama either. I''m out this time around. I''m too busy trying to earn enough to pay the taxes for illegal entitlements, anchor babies and section 8 housing. Add to that the cost of free medical care, free lunches and the money Villaraigosa just sent to Jalisco, Mexico for their library.

I love it! The only recourse the far left has is to cry in their beer.

Note how many of the liberal idiots that post on here talk about how old he is, or that the voters are ''sheeple''.


Pathetic, simply pathetic.


Dems woulda done better to have nominated ...

[questionnews]

McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent, wiping out Obama''s solid 7-point advantage in July and taking his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll. Yahoo News



Anybody have a clue as to who does the most accurate polling?? It''s all over the place!

[blazercoach1]

I would be far more interested in knowing how the polls in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida are shaping up. Maybe toss in Colorado, Virginia, Indiana, New Mexico, Nevada, and New Hampshire.

Anyone else agree?

This is all a big smoke screen to get everyone amped up about this election. As if it will change anything in America.
The truth is neither of these two candidates will change anything meaningful in government by themselves because they''ll still have to work with or against the other two branches of government, Congress and the Courts. And then of course there''s the 4th branch of government, Big Business and Lobbyists, who have already bought their place at the head of the table long ago.
Wake up America! You no longer own your own country.

He''s so old, he will die before the end of his first term. That''s a good reason. Actually that is one we all pray for.

Are the American sheeple really that ignorant that they would want four more years of Bush. What has McBush done for the good of the American people (supporting Bush''s tax cuts for fat cats doesn''t count)? McSame is for endless war, torture and big corporations and their lobbyists. One good reason to vote for this slimewad, just one. Please.
