Just yesterday I was discussing the Palin pick with several coworkers. Turns out they were shocked to find that there might be someone who isn't planning on voting for Obama. He asked me why I wasn't interested in Obama and I said I couldn't vote for a Marxist. He said he keeps hearing that and asked what a Marxist was. When I mentioned Karl Marx he didn't know who that was either...and neither did any of the other Obama supporters in the office. Clearly, the lib run public education has suitably prepared the youth of today by making them ignorant and by denying them the tools to make informed, intelligent decisions. Ultimately, the guy didn't know anything about Obama and just fell back to “his parents like him, and they wouldn't choose something bad for them so me must be ok”. Sigh...and these people have votes?!@

Did you educate them on who Marx was and his ideology and why those principles are complete opposites of this great nation and all our founders willed for us?

Which is why I have learned not to talk politics at work also. Liberals make no sense and and are so misinformed/delusional that it's difficult to talk to them without getting frustrated and treating them like the idiots they are.
