If you’ve never lived in an old Rat controlled city you don’t understand...this is how the Machine operates.
Obama is Chicago and he is running things just like the Daley Machine. So long as the garbage gets picked-up
and your drunken Uncle Edgar can always come to us for
a patronage job, you’ll keep voting for us and will let
us get away with murder.
2/3 of the country is not aware of any scandal in this administration. As long as they get a new balance of taxpayer money on their EBT cards every month, that’s all the news they want to know.
Obammer jus now gettin his street cred, Yo
Was wine tasting last week end. Chatting to the server, she mentioned that her daughter went to university in the town we live. AND was up to her ears in student loans. Then said, "Damn the capita...." and caught herself.
I spat out the wine that was left, and I left with out paying only to say, "Obama will pick up the bill, thanks."
I was surprised to see the Globe tabloid attacking Obama as “worse than Nixon” on the front page. Didn’t buy it to read the article but looks like one of the main news sources for the low information voter is not supporting Obama any more.
I don't read it that way at all.
They mean that the majority who disapprove of him watch the scandals, the ones who approve of him, don't.
More coverage isn't going to change that.
That was my point. If this were a Republican president the IRS hearings would be on live on all the tv networks all day long. This would cause that R president to resign soon. but now it hidden on c=span 27 and I didn’t see it mentioned on the news. There was hardly anything on the IRS hearings even on drudge. People don't see that the news media controls what people know, what they have in their mind, what they talk about. so the news media creates a false reality.
The media says “Obama is a democrat and so cares about you. all these problems and scandals caused by Bush. Obama is trying hard to solve all problems ( and give you more goodies) but evil Republicans who only care about the rich and are racists, woman hating old white men they Republicans won't work with Obama so everything is Republicans fault.” and most Americans believe that media narrative
Their "information" level may be extremely high. As evidenced by Poster Mane's conversation with one of them, the person had "information"--but had wrong information, which led to wrong conclusions.
Remember, our nation's textbooks have been censored of references to the great principles and ideas underlying our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, resulting in several generations of citizens who may not even know that the Constitution is their chain on government, not its chain on their liberty.
"Low information" or "constitutionally illiterate"? You decide.
Not so much low info as deliberate mis info voters.
Groups like Unite Blue use social media to twist all info as quickly as it comes out. They were immediately calling the tea partiers who testified “Taxpayer funded” tea party groups and the pavlovian sycophants immediately repeat it as fact.
Will they defect when they see firsthand what a disaster is? Or will democrats politcal patronage trump all...
not much even on “conservative” Drudge today
If this were a Republican president the IRS hearings would be on live all day long on all the TV networks as watergate hearings were
The news media controls what info people know about so the media rules this country. the news media are democrat political activists posing as reporters
Of course my other point is that we no longer have 5 TV channels. We have hundreds of them, and an infinite number of websites and social media sources. And everyone gets to basically pick and choose those which tell them what they want to hear.
That was a HUGE factor in Obama’s 2012 win, don’t doubt me.
Personally I don’t even think they poll anyone. I think they just make the numbers up as directed by Obama’s underlings...
There are a lot of voters out there who care about only one thing — will Obama send me a government check to sit on my ass doing nothing, and have someone else pay for it? If he does, no scandal in the world will get them to vote for someone else.
I think you have the best reply on this thread.
Screw the ethics and keep the gravy flowing.
That’s what it’s all about.
Obama has ALWAYS been popular ONLY BECAUSE HIS EVILS NEVER STAY IN THE HEADLINES.
Jeremiah Wright alone should have taken him down. The MSM decided to remove the story after about 3 days. If the Wright story had gotten the coverage it deserved Obama never would have won the WH.
