Guess the GOP is going to have try harder. Americans are seeing through the phony fake outrage


Tell the whole story of where the American people are at, not just numbers;
The good news

"More than 70 percent of those surveyed say IRS targeting of conservative groups was unacceptable; a majority (52 percent) say the Justice Department's actions regarding the AP phone records were unacceptable; 59 percent say the US government could have prevented the attack in Benghazi; and a large minority (44 percent) say statements made by the Obama administration soon after the attack “were an attempt to intentionally mislead the public.”

I see you saw it already but apprently did not read it.

"Gallup finds that 74 percent on the IRS and 69 percent on Benghazi find these situations “serious enough to warrant continuing investigation.”

Well, if they are a white supremacist then yes, that would prevent them for voting for Obama its the exact argument you are using on not polling african Americans, as for your argument overall.

approval and disapproval are not the same as Would vote for and wouldnt vote for.

A liberal could very well disapprove of what President Obama has done and still vote for him over any republican, and a republican could approve of what he is doing and still vote for a Republican because he believes they would do a better job.


plus, if Gallop is doing its polling a southern states, then the ratios would be some what even. 80 to 90% of whites in southern states vote Republican, this is why even a state like Mississippi with a 37% black population, Barack Obama only got 43% of the vote.

Most people don't care that he called it an act of terror instead of a terrorist attack. Most people have more important things to worry about.

probably should take your own advice, look at your last quote, when you saw the numbers didnt agree with you, you changed the wording to " a large minority"

by that same logic, could we say that a large minority disagree with you on the other 3 ?

and again,none of these are reflective of the president except the last one, and its a minority.

Majority of Americans don't care about the tea party or the phrase terror attack versus terrorist attack.

He did neither. Like Comrade obama you seem to have a problem knowing the difference between the truth and a falsehood...

That's rich.
Looks like you've been at this message board quite often.

That said, seems to me after having read these boards when some interesting political news comes up, I hardly see the responses here as echo chambers or bubbles.

People here have some intelligent things to say, and informative, imho.

There are always witch hunts going on in both parties. They're both two sides of the same coin.

If only people could GET that.

best,

These critics are really clueless.

Most Americans don't care that American foreign policy is resulting in the deaths of thousands of people, do they think that Americans are going to care about the IRS targeting some fringe group, or the use of the word terror instead of terrorist???

Only people who care are the people who have always despised Obama.
