"If Walker voted for Obama, it shows a gross lack of judgment. Walker needs to come clean"


Comments from debate for Governor in Alaska


So this is the new meme?

Who the fuck are these people?

George Bush was the biggest fuck up ever, and they have the nerve to attack a vote for Obama?

If people voted for Romney, that would show they have more judgement?


I know they are seriously lacking real talking points....but seriously?



I don't know what to do here. These immature sociopaths just keep getting worse, no one calls them on their bullshit.

Obviously the us media has done absolutely nothing to show what Bush policy did to the nation, people still think he's a hero.


How is it possible they even think this is a viable talking point?


Do we need to lower ourselves to their level?

Because they keep winning, while Democrats keep being too nice....

Apparently this is the best talking point Rove could come up with.

And at the end of the day, they are just attempting to manufacture consent, to appear more popular than they are, so when they steal the election we will be expecting it and blame all the idiots that must be out there voting for more idiots.

6. Tarring a candidate by associating them with an unpopular figure is an old tactic.

With Obama's numbers in the toilet, I'm not surprised at this at all.

Walker's mistake was not acknowledging that she voted for Obama. No one would have been surprised had she done so - is a Democrat voting for the Democratic presidential candidate newsworthy? OTOH, given that everyone likely assumed she voted for Obama, her refusal to say so suggests embarrassment and that IS newsworthy. Politics is a dirty business and Republicans wanting to keep the story alive is to be expected.

We beat the republicans big time running against the President at the time. Why are we shocked that the Republicans are doing it?

3. So, the Governor in Alaska is saying that over half the voters in America lack good judgment.

I don't actually believe that, because, for example in Alaska...everyone HATES koch clone sullivan but the polls say he is winning, and so will the fixed election.

So most Americans do lack good judgement, because Republicans stole the fucking 2000 election and look what they did with it.

Our voting systems were made even easier to steal after that.

In Ohio 2004, election results showed exact opposite of exit polls...so they canceled exit polls.

Is everyone stupid?

Do we have collective selective amnesia?
