AMERICANS ARE STUPID! (text)
I’m coming around to the idea that the bulk of the American people are basically stupid, stupid, stupid! Why?
How else can we explain how Congress, which has a 9% approval rating, gets reelected about 95% of the time? Do we ever “throw the bums out”?
Listen to these stats:Senate: As of 2008, of 100 Senators, 39 (39%) reelected for 18 yrs or more, 4 over 40 years!
House: As of 2008, of 435 members, 143 (33%) reelected for 14 yrs or more, 5 over 36 years!
And the longer these guys are in office, the more of them will run unopposed in future elections, since nobody will bother to challenge them. Unopposed races have doubled in the last 20 years, from 40 to 80 seats.
And who is responsible for this sad state of affairs? YOU!!! Not your dumb neighbor. Not the media. Not the crooked political system. Just YOU, the typical stupid American! The guy who complains how those crooked politicians are ripping off the country and sending us all down the tubes, and then reelects them!
YOU don’t seem to realize that YOU, and only YOU, have the power to clean up the whole system by simply NEVER REELECTing any Congressman or Senator. The good guys, the bad guys, all of them! NEVER REELECT them!
The beauty of this NEVER REELECT policy is that nobody can stop you from voting the bums out! They can stop you from voting for term limits, but they can’t stop you from imposing term limits by a NEVER REELECT policy.
I hope this short video will get you up off your dumb ass to prove that you aren’t one of those stupid Americans.
Always vote, but NEVER REELECT! If we do this for 2 or 3 elections in a row, I promise you, we will suddenly see a truly new and effective Congress.
Now GO DO IT!

For once I’m not among the stupid people! :`)
Nonsense; I hear that 90% of Americans are of above average intelligence.
I don’t think it is that Americans are dumb necessarily. They are just not too perceptive. The reason this perpetuates is that everyone has the mentality that every politician sucks except for their own. Sure it isn’t the truth but I don’t think they are stupid for supporting a lot of these people, just severely misguided
At least half of us are.
(J/K, of course. My rep is Chet Edwards, a bum of the first order. I've been trying to vote him out since we were redistricted into his turf, but the GOP keeps putting up lightweights against this porkmeister.)
” 90% of Americans are of above average intelligence.”
Where ARE they?
There are too many Mickey Mouse voters!
Changing my tag line...
You’re late in your realization.
We weren’t always dumb. It has been gradual
Oh definately, America is a nation of dumb people. However, there is a job waiting for you at ACORN!
Starting Pay: 25,000.
Job duties: Demonstrations.
Education and Skills: Not needed
Welcome to the Going Downhill America!
Not if all are coming from public schools. Who are you “hearing” that from? The teacher’s union, of course.
I’ve been saying this non-stop for the last two years.
The late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynahan had it figured out 20 years ago. He termed it “the dumbing-down” of America.
We are fat, dumb and happy. We’ve been given bread and circuses. And while we were thus occupied, the enemy has stolen our Country.
The drive by squirrels in Congress continue to be
elected because of ACORN votes from dead people,
inmates and seven years olds are handed to them
on a platter.
They’re not stupid, they’re dumbies! (Can someone find the link to the original classic ‘dumby’ thread?! I can’t.)
Have we not accepted that for decades, (since WWII) American citizens & parents have been too trusting of their elected officials, public schools, elite universities, Hollywood and the *news* Media - print and TV.
During this time as we worked, raised children, attended Church and voted for people we believed - we have been deceived and propagandized - not by enemies from without - but by anti-capitalist socialist enemies from within.....they have come too far and victory is within their grasp.
We are not stupid - just stupified.
Well....it's a joke, actually. 90% are above average...get it? Man...now I'm just depressed.
Why do you think I have been saying 2/3 of Americans are brain dead?
You’re only just now figuring that out? How many years has television been the most popular form of entertainment — sixty years or so?
