people are often indoctrinated. they can be intelligent and it takes an intelligent person to fool themselves with many faux ideals. you have to be intelligent to make yourself believe absurdity after absurdity

If that's what you suspect, I have advice for you. Never play cards, don't gamble at all, never pick stocks to buy, and don't make any decisions without help.

So you voted for Romney? And that makes you smart? Mr. "I got a plan, but can't tell you what is is." Mitt the Twitt? "Ship Jobs Overseas" Mitt? The guy who puts his money in offshore banks to cheat on taxes? That Mitt? The same Mitt that invests "off shore" and not in the American economy? That Mitt? The Mitt that could not remember what important Agencies he wanted to change? The same Mitt who got "slaughtered " in every debate he had?

And you have the nerve to call others stupid? Duh!!

That's just sooo funny...

I dunno what to tell you. When I voted for him both times, I considered it a vote for mediocrity. And I feel like I've got exactly what I voted for. How often can you say that of a politician?

But hey, mediocrity is a huge upgrade compared to active destruction like we had with the previous guy.

Then you find out the truth.

To admit that you were wrong in that situation would be nearly the same thing as admitting that you're an idiot, and that you weren't just duped (nobody's immune from being scammed), but you actively and passionately promoted the lies. Who's going to do that? No, it's much easier to keep on doing what you're doing, even though you know it's not the right thing to do. It's a compromise of integrity to save face, nothing more, and it's done because they let themselves get too invested in the cause to ever turn on it.
Wow! I don't feel that bad when the object is a woman. But a politician? LMAO. I don't care enough about any of them to feel anything, especially not butt-hurt. I imagine some people do. I don't understand it.

When the media starts pushing anyone as the answer to all that is exactly when people should know its just media marketing. Unfortunately people can't admit they've bought into an image not the actual man.
