Yes, I wouldn't have believed it until I saw McCain make it past the primary in AZ. All of a sudden he is tough on immigration and the people in AZ believe him and his opportunistic politics. Have they forgotten Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act?

Yes and no. Most of them simply don't care, and a ton of those that do care don't care enough to think for themselves and just latch on to the talking point that appeals the most to them. Hence we have the Republidunces and Dummycrats. Honestly people that don't vote are probably doing those of us that do a favor, since they are probably not informed enough to make a good and informed decision anyway.

Another thing to look at is the system by which we inform our voters. Campaign ads that are increasingly negative and accusatory. Third party ads that are even more negative. Is it any wonder that, in the Senate race between Coleman and Franken, that a lot of people who voted for the third party candidate did it to spite the two main opponents for an incredibly negative race?

if the average IQ level of DC dropped twenty points, it would be considered legally retarded.

I don't think that American voters are stupid. I think voting based on fear and sunshine up your ass political ads and living on internet message boards spewing your useless opinions make you a brilliant person. I will never tell another person who I vote for.

You must really be ashamed because of who you vote for then.

Any one wanting another to die in a car fire must be below average intelligence or down right moronic. It's like your failures has made you malevolent toward those who are more successful than yourself. Maybe you should seek help for your psychological illness.

personally i think TheWhat is hilarious

Agreed! No one seems to elicit the kind of responses Adam does. :lol:

[Edit: That said, I think this back-and-forth of taking potshots at each other belongs outside E&C.]

So now it's ok to tell someone to die in a car fire?

Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 11:15 am
by Foil
No, not for the E&C. Which is why I suggested Adam take it elsewhere.

(That said, I still think it's hilarious to watch people's reactions when TheWhat comes in and starts his routine.)

well if he's going to act that way in an open forum, then he deserves the responses he gets in the open forums.
