Stupidity of the American Voter?

There was another thread on this yesterday, I think in the ACA section? I was as appalled then as I am again today thinking about this. Disgusting.

Sorry, did not see that but certainly understand your feelings as they are mine as well. Amazing that we still have people who buy the Obama rhetoric and ignore actual information like this. Apparently they are indeed the ones the liberals want to focus on.
 
Doubt that is going to happen although results matter and Obama's results are what you want to ignore

You dont think the Democrats can take back the Senate by 2016 if not then 2020? Or in your view "has the American public woken up to this terrible moderate Democrat agenda and will never give them anything again"?

It happens over and over. We have an incompetent and corrupt federal government. Voters give power to one group. When their incompetence and corruption are displayed, they give power to the other group. Voters really are stupid. They blindly follow the system setup by the two political parties and never fix anything. Government gets worse and worse, political parties get more powerful and voters do the same thing over and over.

Only a true liberal socialist would call this a moderate Democrat agenda. Most of us would call it a radical wealth redistribution and massive Central govt. agenda. The elections should have told even people like you that the public rejects it. This isn't a liberal nation, it is conservative and when conservatives run they win
 
Speaking of the stupidity of the American voter, here's a little article I ran across from a Canuck perspective.

Written like a true liberal who buys the headlines and ignores the actual results. Of course people like you ignore the discouraged workers, the high number of full time part time employees who want full time work, and the reality that corporate profits are up because they are doing what the Federal govt. won't do, manage expenses. Too bad that basic economics isn't being taught in today's schools.

It helps point out the insidious nature politics. Two people can take the same facts and come up with exactly opposite analyses. Or two people can up with a conclusion and find very different facts to support it.

But you failed to answer my question, so I guess I'll ask again: "You dont think the Democrats can take back the Senate by 2016 if not then 2020? "

I know you didn't ask me, but would you mind if I opined?

Anyone who has observed politics from a historical perspective knows that the political pendulum is forever swinging from the left to the right. Surely, the democrats will take it back. Then the republicans. Then the democrats. Then the republicans. Rinse and repeat.

The right will continue to whine when their side loses. And so will the left. It's the American way. We are a nation of whiners. That is one thing both sides have very much in common.
 
It took every stretch and twist of every trick known to American politics and law, and liberals still had to pass the ACA in the middle of the night. Nancy Pelosi admitted that nobody in Congress even bothered to read it on the Democratic side. Too many silly, stupid Americans didn't even know what was really happening.

The smoke-and-mirror posturing and blatant lies caught up with them, and now they're paying the price.

Republicans were just awarded the task of shredding the ACA in its ridiculous form, and destroying Obama's attempt to rig American politics for the foreseeable future.

Good luck with that. LOL!

Wow, what is it about socialists who believe their ideology is a success? Name for me one socialist country that has ever been successful and define that success in terms of individual benefits?

Everything is about the big bad scary "s word".

Sure, Democrats can take back the Senate but not with liberal policies and results

So when the Democrats do take back the Senate or House will it be "the Americans going back to sleep"? Or will they "be waking back up again?"

The problem has never been "liberal policies". The problem has been Harry Reid and only Harry Reid.

ACA is a liberal policy and that is a problem. Bailing out the Unions are liberal policies and those are a problem, Wealth redistribution and class warfare are liberal policies and those are problems. Obama's results are a disaster as are all Progressive policies because they destroy individual incentive

Great summation. It's been this way for years and it will stay this way.

The GOP was dead after Nixon. No wait! They're back. The Dems were dead after Carter. No wait! They're back! The GOP was dead after HW Bush. No, back they come! On and on it goes, around and around.
