This kind of anti-cognizance by the majority explains why we cannot win. You can not reason or inform a person away from any position that reason and information did not lead them to hold.

In every case it was a variant of “If things get worse it will be only because racist Republicans stopped him from doing all the wonderful things he wants to do!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Repubs like Boehner and McConnell... They got nothing to worry about.

Didn’t Obama have a Democratic majority in both the House and Senate the first two years of his term? The 111th Congress, I believe?

liberalism doesn’t promise any of those things, of course

Obama even promised skyrocketing energy prices under his plan

Unless you did this for the pure entertainment value, you do know that this time will be forever wasted and not returnable.

I’m not sure you’re going to get a straight answer in a gas station in front of other people. It’s like walking up to a group of New York Jets fans and asking them who they think is the best team. They may think the Jets will lose, but they’ll tell you that the Jets are going to win.

The problem is a majority of Americans still WANT to like Obama. It is very difficult to defeat someone when the population WANTS to like them. Because of this desire to keep supporting Hussein, many thinking people will overlook all of his failures or blame them on other factors. It is much like battered spouse syndrome.

Obama is a cult of personality that fits perfectly with our star struck, celebrity crazed, realityTV culture. Leading up to this election many people here and in other conservative circles seemed incapable of understanding just how popular Obama really is. The man is a great orator, comes across as a happy warrior, and is incredibly capable of winning over the public with razzle dazzle. This is just going to have to play itself out. It is possible Obama will be popular for years to come just like Clinton is.

Arguing with a progressive is like arguing with a fence post!

Ask them if they ever heard of Jim Jones.

I read in a book there would come a time of “strong delusion”. Not saying we are there but it sure seems that it is possible that folks can be severely delusional in large groups.

Love it! And my experience exactly.

I can describe interactions with Democrates but can’t fathom and explain how they can be so delusional.
