Sorry About Our President.Com
 
A few years ago I remember this website. I added one of my own although this one sample I'm posting isn't it.

I'm sorry that people are too stupid to understand their own best interest. When a rich white man votes Republican, it might actually be in his best interest. When the Bible-thumper votes Republican, it might appear to be in their best interest. But when the poor masses are voting Republican because their Church tells them to, they are NOT voting in their own best interest.

If you are under 30, and not a multimillionaire, vote Democrat or something else: Green, Progressive, Socialist even. Fascism simply does not suit you.

If you are over 30, and actually care about your kids and grandkids well being, don't vote away their rights and their future.

You're with us or you're with the terrorists. We occupy your lands to help you, and if you doubt this, then you are denying your country freedom, prosperity, and moral enlightenment.
Bush was appointed by God, and may he continue spreading the Lord's word. I hope that you will support us; so that you,too, may someday be a great Christian nation.

sky...

do you honestly think those are serious posts?
That's the sad thing about anti-right satire... there's nothing too extreme to be completely impossible or incredible anymore.

Yes because my own mother is one of them. My friend Shawn from Canada. His mother and grandmother talk the same way too.

It's crazy talk but you can't tell them that. They think they have the inside scoop from god. You have to know these things inorder to 'be ready'.

Don't get me wrong. We love our parents but we thing the way of this kind of thinking is really strange. :rollanim:


ps...I got to give a plug here. Anyone from Canada ...you've got to go to Lydia's pub in Saskatoon on Tuesday nights!!!

With all due respect, if anyone actually followed this advice they would be idiots. Vote because of what you believe and in a person who at least shares in values that you think are important in a person who is going to represent what you think is important. It is a complete falsehood to think that "poor masses" vote because their church tells them how to vote. Most people are smarter than that. To vote one way because of someone you are not is just stupid.

It's not a complete falsehood. I (sadly) know lots of examples. I guess you can quibble over how many count towards "masses", and I certainly hope that it isn't "most people", but it is a lot.

We have webisites like this but no incentive for impeachment...

I think Merc is right, while some people do vote because the church tells them too the majority will vote based on their personal interests (or at least what they think their personal interests are).

So how does that explain the almost 1/3rd who still support one of if not the worst president in 100 years of history? Clearly 1 in three of us is not thinking. Is that about the same number who also fall for e-mails from Nigerian princes? Curious. Some people will do most anything they are told - and call that thinking.

Before anyone believes the bullshit that in someway people vote anything other than their mind please note this well researched study:

http://www.princeton.edu/~bartels/kansas.pdf

It is a small but representative example.

The people who cry for impeachment are bulls' hind ends, emitting what bulls' hind ends usually emit.

Wake up: actual attempts to win a war started by somebody else do not rise to the level of high crimes nor misdemeanors. But try telling the cryptofascist somnambulants that.

These calls for impeachment are lies, nothing more. Unless under "more" you include the utterances of dupes. I am neither a liar nor a dupe and I dislike reading the outpourings of those who are.

This morning I was called a W. Bush apologist. The woman that called me this is under 30, and thinks that King Bill is the best thing that ever happened. When I asked her what she thought about JFK, and FDR, she said that they were war mongering Republicans. When I informed her that both were Democrats she had a fit and informed me that I was wrong. I cant wait to show her that she is wrong and the teacher she worships is an idiot for saying this.

She was also upset when I told her that both men were very rich.

a) It was just an example opinion. I didn't pick the worst or best.

b) well he was wrong about the 'poor masses' It's called the religious right and the Catholic church. They tell them how to vote rich and poor. They are called SHEEP after all.:sheep:

You have no data to prove your assertions. You are repeating the manta of the left-wingnuts. If you do, show it, I would like to read it. My reference was original research with data.
