You beat me to it! This video is hilarious! Obama has to realize the only way he won this election is by the loyal & unflinching support of the dumbest bunch of douche bags ACORN could assemble.
And the consolation prize goes to the stupid Republican Party for rising to the occassion and running a crusty, old, rich, white man; effectively fulfilling the stereotypical Republican Party image. Thanks for playing, GOP!
And just yesterday McCain was already giving the Chimp-in-Chief the reach-around, promising to work together. What a guy! I guess he just can’t help himself....

As Ann says, if DUmocrats had any BRAINS, they'd be republicans.

You can tie an elephant to a stake with a rope and keep him in bondage for the rest of his days if he's CONDITIONED properly.

Once you learn how to escape from the DNC plantation, there's no going back!

Damn idiots. I wonder how the McCain-Palin voters would do on the same survey. Did they look only at Obama supporters?

The dumbing down of America by the DemocRATS and their “teachers” unions appears to have worked.

When the buyer’s remorse sets in, and his voters start realizing “They ain’t gettin’ no Free Sh.. Stuff”, and will in fact be PAYING for Democrat corruption, things could get violent.

Don't be silly. These fools will think its the REPUBLICANS because the media will make sure that is what they think. Talk about the “educated elite” in this country. These are idiots, folks!

No I don’t think we could get to them. I workin a school with 125 techers. Ten that I know of voted for McCain. The others besides being Obama supporters were unable to explain with any detail his plan for change. Unable to tell me why they were voting for Obama beyond “change” which they could not explain. I don’t think we could get to them.

Survey finds most Obama voters remembered negative coverage of McCain/Palin statements but struggled to correctly answer questions about coverage associated with Obama/Biden.

Goes to show that the negative advertising given free to the Obama campaign by the MSM worked.

>The Constitution used to prevent our stupidity from being dangerous.

“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

It is my firm belief that intelligence is in fact quite evenly distributed. The stupidest person in the world is not that much less intelligent than the smartest. My point is that intelligence is here not the point.

I hold that the main reason so many people know so little and are so wrong about what they think they do know is that they are amazingly lazy and so were their instructors (parents first, then the 'teachers' hired to babysit them through their teens). This laziness is directly due to the unnatural amount of national peacetime we have enjoyed. The left likes to preen about how many wars we've been involved in, but the really important fact is that none of those wars happened in any signficant way in the American homeland. We had the horrific Twin Tower catastrophe, to be sure, and that is the exception that tests the rule: name the second one of such importance that people did more than cluck their tongues in dismay or disapproval and then mildly clapped while the perpetrator was executed.

That kind of complacency is exaclty what leads to utterly lazy thinking, the kind that assumes that the way things are is the way they always have to be and there is no limit to the danger that can be courted socially, economically and politically because our way of life is so impervious to any real damage. In such an environment, people casually vote in an immature, naive Marxist simply so they can say they voted for the first (at least partly) black President.

Sure, that looks stupid on stilts, but people really aren't that stupid: they know what they have done and as some have pointed out, they expect to be well-paid for their efforts, however minimal in fact. They have bought the principle that Obama can rip off the Treasury for them and will do so on the backs of people these voters have always resented and always will want to cut down. They want to share in the rich spoils of the war on the rich and want to have to do nothing in particular to achieve it.

That's lazy, not stupid, IMHO.

If one is too lazy to apply their own intelligence, how does that make them NOT stupid?

Isn’t it true that the blindest man is the one who will not see?

This tells me that the GOP has to find a better way to get their message out to the public.

Anyone have the cash to buy a TV network?

"57% of Obama voters were unable to correctly answer that Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate."

...And they thought they were voting for change. Unbelievable. Congress' approval rating is what, 19%? And America voted for more of the controlling party. This poll explains it.

If people can recover from cults, they can be rescued from voting democrat. You have to remain calm and present them with facts, you will see rage from them, it’s cognitive dissonance. You are destroying their reality and it will take them time to come arounde.

You have to be the adult and you have to be patient, politically they are emotional and intellectual children, chip away at them.
