It matters to me because these people vote for the populist republicans because good ol' Fox News said John Kerry eats babies and kills Bambi. The sad truth is very few people look for multiple news sources, most don't even have the time. So these people just think about what their news channel told them, biased in EITHER direction, when it comes to their own political outlook on things. Around 51% of the nation has less then half a brain......in my opinion of course.  | Hey, for every ignorant redneck who rails his couisin, there's a city dwelling dip**** who can't spell his own name.
I hear inane rhetoric from both wings every day. Ignorance is nonpartisan.
And you're mistaken. There's nothing I hate more than an ignorant republican. Every time I hear something like "Thank god for bush he'll kill those raghead camel****ers" I vomit. They do nothing but hurt our cause. Much in the same way I react to the "Bush is hitler!" crew.
And the fact that most people dont know what the hell they're talking about is the reason I'm happy that our turnout is so low.

Perhaps my rant was misplaced. I applaud you for hating those even in your own party who are ignorant.
The turnout is low, true. The problem still stands: The ignorant vote.

Lean: | Re: Latest Rating for Air America I stick by my hypothesis.... 80% of the American public is as dumb as a stump. It doesn't matter which side of the aisle they reside politically. As Forrest Gump said "stupid is as stupid does". Thank Odin for the 20% that has the grey matter to keep the circus within the three rings.

Lean: | Re: Latest Rating for Air America The only way to eliminate bias in media is to eliminate media.
If all media had the same point of view, things would soon get dull.
The media operators know this and realize that supporting one of two opposing viewpoints is the only way to attract readers, viewers, or listeners who can identify with that point of view.
That's why each side pummels the other; to gain market share among those "on its side". |
