Republicans took control because of American stupidity

[Billy000]

With 75% disapproval ratings and policies that most Americans dislike, why on earth would republicans get elected? It's mind boggling.

The following issues are favored by the majority of Americans:

1) Raising the minimum wage
2) Raising taxes on the wealthy
3) Background checks for gun control
4) Gay marriage
5) Extending unemployment benefits

What's the real reason for republicans getting elected? American stupidity.

Could you give me a link that shows the majority of Americans favor your position on those issues?

 

[Mr. H.]

75% of Americans favor the building of the Keystone XL pipeline, yet cum ander in chink-bower ain't budging.

Who's "stupid"?

Kids favor:

1.) Candy for dinner
2.) Staying up late on school nights
3.) Playing hooky from school.
4.) Shooting out their friends' eyes with their Red Rider BB Guns.
5.) Jumping off their roofs with home-made parachutes.

-Raising the minimum wage is bad for society in that it takes us to a European level economic sclerosis.
-Raising taxes on the wealthy, when we ALREADY HAVE THE MOST PROGRESSIVE TAX SYSTEM in the world will drive capital out of this country. Every had a street bum hire you for a job?
-No one trusts liberals enough to put them in charge of their personal safety, giving them a veto on whether they can own a gun, because liberals have revealed that they're gun-grabbers at heart.
-People don't favor homosexual marriage, they're fatigued with all the homo drama, all the damn fucking time and are hoping that if they just give up the homos will just shut the fuck up and quit destroying society,.
-People understand that welfare dependency kills incentive to go out and hustle to find a job and get back into the working world where contacts can be made and better jobs can be found once you're back in the swim of things and prolonged unemployment is a soul-killer.

Yeah, the easy way and the fun way is something to dream about, liberals never get out of their childish dream state, but the rest of society realizes that taking the easy route leads to a dead-end in life, and so the choose the mature, responsible, conservative path and do what best for themselves, and society, in the long run.

"If you disagree with me, you're stupid."

As difficult as it is to take partisan ideologues seriously, it's always even more difficult when they scream that one.

Low voter turn out Billy. More Repubs got excited about nothing than Democrats did. 2016 could look a lot different.

 

[blackhawk]

You know that is pretty much what Obama said claiming he didn't sell or explain his policies well enough to the American people. Yeah calling the people stupid because they disagree with your failed policies will get them to vote for you and your party.

They voted against the dems because of their constant whining over the war on everything, playing the race card on a daily basis, failed policies, high unemployment. Dems were rejected basically because they insulted the voters on a daily basis. From your post, you're doing the same thing.

I'd like to see a link to back up this garbage.

I'd bet not one of these issues appear in a list of top ten concerns of the American people, according to any reputable pollster.

This President has made many Americans angry.
The young are not happy that they are forced to pay for health insurance.
The Blacks are not happy that he did nothing for them.
The Progressives are not happy because he is not progressive enough.
The elderly are not happy because their Medicare was robbed of 700 million
The middle class is angry because their wallets are getting smaller under this administration.
The number one reason is that there is not enough job or economy growth.

OP- I would say a tremendous failure of our media. Does journalism exist anymore? What planet are the dupes living on? And not just GOPers...

I disagree. It's not a failure, it is the plan. The media has a stake in the game. Therefore sowing the seed of discontent with the current administration keeps the opposition in the game. It also reinforces, renews the 2 party system. I think a record number of money was spend in the last election. Who got most of that money?

It all started when the idiots voted in the most least qualified man as president, because he was black.

2) Raising taxes on the wealthy

Why not just raise them for anybody who still has a job and be done with it.
You guys never met a tax increase you didn't like.

5) Extending unemployment benefits


For how long?

26 weeks over what we have now?
52 weeks above and beyond...
100 weeks?
1000 weeks....

And why is that necessary....
Didn't Obama single handedly create over 100 million jobs?

The butt hurt is strong in the Left.

Obama has a way of splaining everything.
It wasn't the message or in this case his policies it was the messenger...
I thought the Democrats were supposed to be the best in the business with their ground game and getting out the vote.

So what the fuck happened this time?

You dingbats got anything else...Sound like the idiot Boosh administration: "Mission accomplish!, our way or the highway", trying to understand terrorists is to support them, all the usual stupid, arrogant, ugly American bs...looking forward to seeing the greedy idiot GOP kill themselves again the next 2 years...

the librul media died with the fairness doctrine, if not before...pathetic bought off cowards now. Fox etc doesn't even deserve the term news as far as national or political news goes.

It's because the Democrat candidates sucked. Get better candidates next time, and maybe you'll do better. Stop blaming Americans for not voting for the crap your party barfed up.
