Rand Paul is filing a class action lawsuit against the NSA

Obama's reelection was in 2012 - try to keep up.

I'll grant you that many could have made the mistake of thinking Obama might have something to offer in 2008 - but in 2012, you'd have to be brain dead to give that fool four more years.

True. And Romney was no better option, if never before, that was the time to collectively call bull**** on the whole system and start over. I don't know how long Americans on both sides of the isle will continue to hold their noses and vote for the lesser of two evils. Romney wasn't a favorite amongst the GOP base.
 
George Will - What political ignorance delivers - Crescent-News | Defiance, OH | Crescent-News.com

Politicians have understood about low information (ignorant) voters for quite a while. The article above addresses the size of government equating to the rise in ignorance since there is simply so much more government programs and involvement to miss. Smart propagandists today know they need a bumper sticker sized message to reach these people normally. 2014 mid-terms may be an exception since there have been so many mistakes by the current administration, the bad news has trickled down and affected millions more directly - more than a normal mid-term.

Very true, and applies to LIV's on both sides of the isle.

I think the sweep of 2010 was a reflection on that very sentiment. The low information didn't come out to vote because they barely have a clue as to what the legislative branch does, believe is it largely unimportant. They are indoctrinated from birth to vote (D), believing the executive branch is the key holder to salvation, a variable king of sorts. Most also don't know what the electoral college is.

It's sad really, urban zones being so poorly educated on U.S. gov and history.

It's more the labour party camp as of late. I've seen some class assignments pushed on some students in k-12 in similar subjects. ****ing scary leftist ****

The problem, universally, is that the best, most competent, people don't generally get into politics except for those people like Romney who've made a personal fortune, plenty to look after his family, and now wants to give back to his country. Unfortunately, that's life. It still, in my view, makes it incomprehensible that after four years of disaster Obama would have anyone supporting him for another four years. There was zero evidence in his first term that would lead anyone to believe he was getting better at it or understanding what he needed to do to improve.

My opinion now for a while is, that urban education is not a mistake but by design.

Oh, I agree and felt the same way about Bush in 2004' so there you go.
 
50-29 favorable for Beshear with 16% neutral which is pretty darn good for a Southern Dem and 5% have never heard of their KY governor.
bought and paid for by the liberal nutjobs for the liberal sheep that believe them
Which polls are we to accept and ignore ?
 
Like the Rove polls for Romney.
meh, most intelligent people know these ratings and polls are manipulated but the people performing them
So could that also be true of the bogus ACA polls ?

ignore all of them if money is involved
 
Rand Paul outpolls President Obama by only 41--33 for favorability in KY.:lamo
 
Like the Rove polls for Romney.

So could that also be true of the bogus ACA polls ?

it could indeed, however almost every working person has been affected negatively by it so that one is pretty easy to figure out

Oh, bull****. Just like the polls were "skewed" in favor of Obama, right? Puh-leeze.

Insurance goes up for pools of workers every year.
Insurance chips away at deductibles and bennies every year.
almost every working person that already had insurance, ACA equaled a pay cut
However, insurance companies are due to dump a half billion for ACA this year to counter the billions-dollar smear machine .
