*If You Love the President . . .*
Take this poll. Don't worry, you can sign with an X.

According to a recent survey, 17 percent of the American public
"/strongly/" approves of the job George W. Bush is doing. Not just
approves, but strongly approves. I found those numbers interesting but
incomplete. Don't you want to know who those people are? What sorts of
lives do they lead? How they make their judgments?
I think we can safely presume that about one-tenth of 1 percent of these
people are plutocrats, al-Qaeda sleeper cell agents, Lockheed Martin
executives, vice presidents of the United States, etc. But what about
the rest? In the interests of fair and responsible journalism, and
without any preconceived biases, I have created a poll to scientifically
analyze this group of Americans. Please do not answer the questions
below unless you "strongly approve" of the job President Bush is doing.

b) Lucille
c) Other
/6. What is your preferred method of deflecting alien mind-control eams?/

Shit Alan, I just don't understand why conservatives think liberals are a bunch of intellectually superior bigots.
You have to meet folks where they live, not tell them they are stupid. Why do you think people voted for Bush in the first place. B/c he didn't make them feel defensive/ insult them.
Dems will never win as long as they are belittling the intellect and culture of a huge percentage of the electorate.

so what the lurkist is saying is that its only the lower 70% of the population who are below averge and at least 20% of them are voting democratic anyway, its that other 50% that voted republican who emotions we need to attend to allen 
How you compare may not be as important as to whom you are compared
No, what he is saying is, for a group of feel good/warm fuzzies/everyone is equal, liberals, it's ok to make fun of anyone whom you deem lower than yourself. It's funny though, you guys will slam the poor white trash of America while embracing the Islamofascists of the world. When your world comes crashing down around you, remember it's usually the white folk who make everything all right. So at the next peace rally, tree hugging event you attend, make sure to crack some jokes about anyone who doesnt belong in your level of the caste system, I'm sure it will make you feel better about yourself.krampus wrote:so what the lurkist is saying is that its only the lower 70% of the population who are below averge and at least 20% of them are voting democratic anyway, its that other 50% that voted republican who emotions we need to attend to allen
