I remember when he was elected the first time. Right away Obama was getting the sob story. One woman in particular just cried the blues. I don't know what the hell she expected but it wasn't a bunch of nothing like she got.

Sigh, when low information voters try to strike back. I would love to listen to Rush, but in these wonderful years of Obama's economy I have to work two jobs (so much for "focusing like a laser", eh libs).

So here is some helpful information about the term low-information voter to help you folks stop embarrasing yourselves with inane comments.

Here - "The term is mainly used by liberals to refer to those who vote conservative against their interests and the best interests of the nation. It assumes they vote that way because they lack sufficient information about issues." Dumb and Dumber - By George Lakoff | Foreign Policy

Here - "Linguist George Lakoff has written that the term is a pejorative mainly used by American liberals to refer to people who vote conservative against their own interests, and assumes they do it because they lack sufficient information. Liberals, he said, attribute the problem in part to deliberate Republican efforts at misinforming voters." Low information voter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2 things:

1- I'm definitely not a liberal

2- We both know Rush is why you use that term, so you might as well own it.

That is the definition of a contradiction. He comes from Chicago, is a part of the Chicago machine (the most corrupt city in politics) and therefore he must be corrupt. In fact he must be super-corrupt because he was their star player; the franchise politician. He surrounded himself with Chicago cronys (Holder, Emanuel, Goolsbee...etc.)

But, you didn't think there would be corruption? cough

EVERYONE is going to run away from this as fast as they can. Away from their positions of transparent insanity. Many of us warned this would happen in his lame-duck term. Now we find out that they (Obama, his handlers, IRS, Hillary, Holder) knew about and covered up all of these scandal's pre-election.

This is going to dwarf Watergate!

I'm not a Rush or Beck fan, but it sure seems like they nailed it. Unless of course Obama was just trying to make them look good.

I remember seeing the videos of people lined up in Detroit, Chicago and Phily to get their "Obama money"

Benghazi, IRS and AP scandals reveal Obama's culture of corruption | Fox News

Even Bill Clinton must be taken aback just a bit by what has happened!

What do you think the effects of this toxic White House will be on the mid-term elections for the democrat party?
What, no poll?

I think Obama will have the same sort of second term that W. did along with Clinton, H. Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson (short answer -- didn't run for a second term because of democrats opposing him), Kennedy, Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt, Hoover, Coolidge, etc., etc., etc.

That's it? You didn't even make the effort to see the term was originally invented by liberals? Onto the Ignore List with you for intellectual laziness.

Now pretty obvious that Harry Reid took the private tax data the IRS gifted to the Obama campaign to use against Romney....that is beyond low and to use the IRS as a personal weapon against citizens is the worst of the worst. But my dad was always right and said that the leftist in the country would stop at nothing to secure control over the masses....he was right and that should scare you to sleep at night. The DNC has gone to an alltime low in history and how many dems really believe now that there is no death panel in the healthcare bill?

A wise man wrote in at Fox news and asked "So Mr. President, since you seem to gain all your infomation from the "grapevine" just what magnatude of a crisis would reach you personally?" I thought that was the million dollar question..the other one is just who is running WA?
