The bell curve is real. Only 50% can be to the right of the mean and 50% will always be to the left of the mean. In a sane society there are limitations on who is allowed to vote. We can have a discussion on what makes an individual qualified to vote; but IMO in a sane society the first criteria is that the individual is on the right side of the bell curve.

Nah. Democrats are counting on the fact that an outright, bald-faced lie, repeated often enough by the sold-their-souls-with-no-remorse mainstream media (aka the “unofficial campaign arm” of the Lib-Prog political machine), will be accepted as truth/ whole truth/ nothing-but-truth by those credulous voters who still believe our “fair and free press” reports objectively and honestly.

All they need is the complicity of the “Fourth Estate,” which has trussed us up like a turkey for the slaughter.

The irony is that we live in an era of ubiquitous communications and yet the electorate is probably less informed about major issues as they’ve ever been. I’d go a step further and suggest only a small percentage of the population can articulate the major ideological differences between the two parties without regurgitating the Democrat Media Complex rhetorical talking points we hear ad nauseum daily.

For example, we saw it with a bright, highly educated, very successful person like David Mamet who admitted he wasn’t really sure why he was a Democrat for most of his life. He just was. It took him alot of reading to figure out what the underlying principles are of each party.

It’s quite depressing.

It’s ironic that the bad economy might actually help the incumbent this time.

I’ve thought that was the plan all along. Strangle the private economy so thoroughly that the only remaining options are government jobs or government checks. Create such levels of hardship, suffering, and fear that the people receiving government checks will beg for them to keep coming, and the people with government jobs will fight tooth and nail to keep them. Anyone who threatens the new status quo can be painted as the enemy.

This is how a population can be cowed into servitude.

So if you’re lookin’ to find a sec-ond term
You gotta do more than
Bitchin’ and hopin’ and carpin’ and blamin’
You gotta hold ‘em and smooch ‘em and love em’
And pre-tend that you care!

Take me out to the ball game,
take me out with the masses,
buy me stuff and loan me your jack,
but don’t expect to ever get it back.

So it’s root root root for the oppressed,
if they don’t win Bush is to blame,
’cause the people united will never be defeated
at the new ball game!

Seventh Inning Stretch = the leftist anthem song “Imagine” … imagine there’s no heaven, countries, nothing to kill or die for, no religion, all people living life in peace, no possessions.
