Absolutely, there are a lot of people of questionable intelligence out there who are very malleable. They are bombarded with right wing propaganda at a level which they can understand and it seems reasonable to them.

What is the reasoning behind this? Do they feel that they lost popularity in 2008 because their party was not far enough right?
Have you seen the economy, the debt, the poverty, the unemployment, have you paid attention at all these past 46 months? And you have the nerve to ask why people are upset?

I love it when supposedly "educated" liberals open their mouths. Hilarity ensues, virtually every time.
Talk to Indian people in India and ask them do you call yourself Indian or Asian. Another sad example of an Ignorant Republican that has never traveled outside the US.

That ignores the 27% of the population of Santa Clara County that is Hispanic.

The major city in Silicon Valley is after all named San Jose.

Sant Clara County is a rather diverse area with an almost equal ethnicity makeup among its three major racial/ethnic demographic groups.

No, we never were offically at war in Vietnam at all.

By looking at this page, and the subject is Vietnam, I'd say the thread has successfully been highjacked.

Last official war was World War II.

SINCE Bush left office? Both big government parties are complete failures when it comes to running our lives. The bi partisan spending beyond what is taken in and the destructive housing manipulation that destroyed our economy told us that.
