Well, I might be stupid for disagreeing with the owner, but I don’t think that Democrat voters behave in a “stupid” manner when they vote.
“Stupid” behavior when voting would be to toss a coin to decide your vote or only voting for people with five letter names.
Democrat voters are smart enough to find the candidates on the ballot with the (D) behind their names and vote for them.
That is not stupid.
That is conditioning.
Stupidity is hard to cure.
Conditioning can be changed.
Conservatives don’t try to break the Democrat voter conditioning.
We need to make a concerted effort to break the Democrat conditioning.
I’m not going to feel assured of anything until Trump is sworn into office, and probably not even then.
Thanks
They are not stupid. They are corrupt.
The donors (whom the politicians are dependent upon) are afraid that their money will not buy access and favors as easily in a Trump administration. Meanwhile, they know that Hillary is easily bought, so they're fine with her winning. The donors paid-for minions will thus do what they are paid to do.
Just think about how stupid your average democrat voter is. And now realize that half of them are even stupider than that.
(apologies to George Carlin)
How about corrupt and stupid.
Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From related threads …
The problem is that the anti-constitutional republic Progressive Movement succeeded in spooking ordinary voters to pressure state lawmakers to ratify the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A), the states legislatures foolishly giving up their voices in Congress by ratifying that amendment.
Corrupt lawmakers have exploited both the 17th and 19th Amendments (19A) by getting themselves elected by promising low-information voters federal spending programs that such voters don’t understand that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific powers to regulate, tax and spend for.
In fact, one of the few things that the 17A and 19A actually won ordinary voters where federal domestically policy is concerned is a voice in how the US Mail Service (1.8.7) is run. In other words, citizens can bet that most other federal spending programs started by Constitution-ignoring FDR, Social Security for example, and more recently Obamacare, are based on constitutionally nonexistent federal powers and be right most of the time.
So the key question regarding political parties is how many political parties does it take to run the US Mail Service?
I say none.
The bottom line is that the corrupt Washington cartel exists to control state powers and associated state revenues which the feds have stolen and continue to steal from the states.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional federal inteference in state affairs.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
It would be a lot easier to target Democrats exclusively, if it weren’t for the GOPe mellon-heads out there.
“Oh, I can’t back Trump.” Okay then you don’t mind Hillary being elected. “Well, Trump is just so unqualified.” And Hillary is? “ - silence - “
clinton has James Comey, the attorney general and obama ALL covering for Clear Crimes she HAS committed. clinton tax returns show she donated a million dollars to charities last year EXCEPT this was a game of Cash Catch with the clinton foundation-PHONY!
clinton had a rally at a plant in Warren, Michigan where HER audience was brought in by bus, NO employees, they didn’t let me in, just HER selected people.
clinton has so many email security scandals that it is hard to keep track of them.
clinton lies so much that you can tell by the sound of her voice when she is lying.
clinton CLEARLY has TIA issues that affect the tone of her personality.
clinton offers FREE college education while the USA is Long Broke,
clinton calls Trump reductions in taxes to bring corporations back to America UNacceptable driving corporations to be defensive and NOT come back.
clinton wants to raise taxes on corporations WITHOUT telling voters that corporations will HAVE to raise prices on tax payers to pay these higher taxes.
clinton is constantly saying Donald Trump has 12 advisers to focus Mr. Trumps on issues.
clinton should ask Mr. Trump to have his advisers help HER out.
The war on Evangelical Christians, the govt war against those that are truly Born Again Washed in the Blood of The Lamb Christians has been going on since FDR.
By the ballot or by the bullet that stops in November.
“It’s not called the stupid party for nothing.”
It’s much worse than that as you point out in your previous sentence: ... the GOP establishment is totally unconcerned about the inevitable consequences of their treason.
The GOP elite’s self-concern is so overriding that they care not one whit about the complete and irreversible destruction of our Constitution and that Hillary will fully install the fascist government started by Obama.
What I don’t understand is if these people are too stupid to understand the horrific implications of the destruction that will be wrought by Hillary, or if they feel that they are rich and powerful enough that such fascism won’t affect them, but will affect only we peasants. If the latter is what they believe, then clearly they are ignorant of the last 100 years of history: only the Warren Buffet/Bill Gates/George Soros level of oligarchs can survive such fascism, whereas pretty much anyone else below that level will be sailing in the same leaky boat as the lowliest peasant.
“I think everybody needs to do something extra this election. Donate, volunteer. I did. It’s now or never.”
Agreed.
Sure wish there was a viable alternative.
Sheesh, Trump IS the viable alternative.
Sorry -- I'm a bit unclear as to how that distinguishes them from their fellow democrat voters.
The last couple of elections we had some FReepers who were insisting that they were staying home because they didn’t like the Republicans running, they better not do it this year.
I’ve never donated or volunteered before. I think our goose is cooked if we don’t win this election. I wish I could influence more people to take the extra step. I have my kids voting for Trump. But their friends aren’t.
If Trump doesn't win we need to set aside the idea that any political solution is viable. And prepare. For real. No more just yacking on forums.
Nobody knows who votes for who when the curtain closes.
Excellent suggestion. Another thing that I have seen Democrats do over the years is to dumb the voters down by confusing them about economics. They fool people into thinking that they are going to get more money back for the taxes that they spend. When in reality they only get a small amount back for every dollar they pay in taxes.
Democrats also deliberately confuse the economy with the government. The economy does not come from the government, it comes from we the people going about our normal working and spending activities every day. The private sector makes everything we use and consume it is not the government. It is the private sector that makes jobs. I wish Trump would explain this to people in a simple plainspoken way.
