It Takes a Little Thought to Vote Republican

There is a lot of news out there about a Zogby poll that scientifically proves those who voted for President-elect Barack Obama were woefully ignorant about the issues. (Basically the poll revealed that most Obama voters didn't know basic facts such as which political party currently controlled Congress, etc.)

What a shocker!

In response, Democrats are asking, "Are you calling us stupid?"

The answer would be no. We're calling you ignorant regarding the issues; which the poll proves. It was you who called Republicans stupid after George W. Bush got re-elected in 2004.

See, the problem with your, "Republicans are stupid while Democrats are smart" argument is that it takes a little thought to vote Republican, while we learned today that voting for the Democrat means you know very little about the state of our great country.

And it's not that you're stupid, so please don't accuse everyone who points to a scientific poll, the one that says Obama voters were not well informed, of making disparaging remarks about your intellect.

Obama voters just simply don't follow politics. If I asked someone who won the 1985 Super Bowl and they responded with a blank stare, I wouldn't call them an idiot. I would simply deduce they don't follow sports.

See the connection?

You see, being ill informed means you were easily swayed by the partisan media and persuasive Barack Obama talking points.

Barack Obama said things like, "I'll give 95% of the country a tax break," and you non-politics-following people thought, "He looks like an honest guy and I heard somewhere that Democrats do look after the little guy."

Of course you don't realize that Democrats love taxes and we could very well have a case in which Mr. Obama was relying on your ignorance. He knew you weren't going to discover for yourselves that he and those with similar viewpoints believe taxing everyone is the way to go. He told you what you wanted to hear – and you bought it.

The other night Jon Stewart tried to tell Bill O'Reilly that an Obama victory meant that the country was not center-right as most polls suggest.

But let's break down the advantages held by Barack Obama going into the 2008 Presidential Election:

The United States is in the midst of two unpopular wars.
The mainstream media was in the tank for Barack Obama.
President George W. Bush is extremely unpopular.

When you add the fact that Barack Obama hid his far left beliefs from the country by campaigning as a centrist, along with the fact that John McCain had a lead in the polls until a Democrat-caused financial crisis hit the United States, it's a wonder why Obama didn't win with Reagan over Mondale type numbers.

(For those of you who voted for Barack Obama; Reagan defeated Walter Mondale by 512 electoral votes. That's a lot.)

Instead Obama only won by 8 million votes. A healthy number yes; but a decent McCain campaign would have cut that number in half... and possibly kept a Republican in the White House.

And Mr. Stewart mentioned that far left people like him are not really far left. Instead he claims that they simply believe in an increase in taxes for the richest in America from 36 to 39 percent. But something tells me Jon Stewart is currently only paying the minimum as required by law. Actually, he probably has a team of lawyers trying desperately to make sure he pays far less than the minimum. In other words, Mr. Stewart won't give the government what he believes a person of his income should give until he is forced to do so.

That's the Democrats new mantra, no?

"Come tell us how to live, President Obama – without you we are sinners; with you we are noble."

I guess we can't blame the Democrats for not having faith in the American people when they don't even have faith in themselves.
