It was never intended that the citizenry have a substantial knowledge of any particular piece of legislation anyway, or even a casual understanding of. That's the job of the law makers. The job of the voter was simply to elect men (in those days) of good moral character. Do you think the voters read bills back when Washington and Adams and Jefferson were running for President?

You would be enlightened. People who dont have many 'real world expenses' tend to believe the crap that Nobamma is spewing.

this makes no sense whatsoever.

Republicans OWN BUSINESSES so it wouldn't make sense for them to "want it to fail"

You Obamabots are a hot mess I tell ya' please stop

I'm sure you have some stats and you know proof to back up that absurd claim.

Then they have the nerve to say Obama supporters are stupid. Oh, you all never fail to impress. This thread actually re-inspired me to start up my political blog that I had been thinking about.

Time to speak up and be heard.

What a clueless ignorant statement. Especially about Republicans children do not go to college. That is really an educated statement. What exactly makes liberals so stupid?

Yeah right! Republicans want America to fail? Are you crazy. We didn't vote for the downfall of America....you did.

I'd like to hear the context of your story.
Maybe you need to explain what the context of what that woman was saying was. I heard the words and accepted the fact that she really believed that. I believe that you need to explain the context she was speaking from.

I wonder how THEY see what real landslides look like now. I bet not one of them looked at more than one of those links.

Yes. People I talk to that are students. They like Obama. Most have their education and some bills paid for by parents or some other external support. If the car breaks they call dad for some $$$, same thing with their health care needs. Fact. They are also excited about the potential for synthetic marijuana. But thats a topic for a different day.

Then again I've met some new grads in the oil industry who hate Obama...in California nonetheless. So they are not all lost cases.

So according to the right wing, if you don't read a bill in its entirely the day after Obama proposes it, you must be stupid.

Well what does that say about tea partier Herman Cain who said he would NEVER read any bill longer than 2 pages?
