7. False.
Some are idiots, but a lot of what they say reflects the Zeitgeist a lot better than any trashy cable news channel. Where else are you going to hear people trashing neoconservatives and talking about America's exportation of jobs?

9. I wouldn't say they were ALL idiots...
But that Freeper who was complaining about Kerry doing the fake "toke" move certainly was. Talk about a drug problem, was that guy strung out on Valium or what? It took him 5 minutes to complete a fucking sentence. He made BUSH sound coherent!

13. It's great if you like hearing Bush supporters say,
"I think the President is doing a great job," and never explain how he's doing a great job.

14. ignorant.
not idiots.

Most American voters can only say a few sound bites about the candidate they support or are against, and that's the reality in the world.

DU does not represent the American electorate.

15. Quite true. We're the weirdo junkies.
I would suggest that the majority of American voters pick their candidate because A) They think the candidate is a "nice person" or B) They've been told the candidate is a "nice person."

It's a pity, but our electorate has never been the most informed in the world.

17. They are not all idiots.
Some of them make good points. However, I did hear one guy say that it OK that innocent Iraqis died in the War, because Bush was doing the Lord's work.:crazy: :freak: :wtf: :dunce: :wow: :scared:
