The DIFF between THE EASILY FOOLED and THINKERS
Thinkers know when they being scammed, conned.

McWho and Sarah may not speak in Tongues but their speeches, their rhetoric, their answers reek of Empty Pagent talk.

Both talk in Pagent Mode...McWho and Sarah talk empty pagent shit....it sounds good to untrained easily fooled people but there is no substance, no meat, no nothin cept pig shit made to smell, look, ands feel other wise

When will the EASILY FOOLED get unfooled...???

when they lose their jobs, their homes, their pets, their fun?

When their sons and daughters go off to a needless war?

and come home wounded/dead?

When the Dollar loses more value and is stretched so ya can hardly pay the rent.mortgage?

When ya canardly afford those FUN things like NASCAR, NFL, NBA, etc...

When will the Easily Fooled learn they got HAD, Scammed, and Conned?

Cheers and :beer:

1. Many have already lost their jobs, their homes, etc...
They just don't connect the dots ~ even when their children die in a needless war they cling to the idea that they died for their country.

15. Due to the state of education, the yearning to be average? The Repukes have these people trained
Job or no job, these people won't see reason when it's smacking them in the face.

5. they won't... that's why they're fools...
Edited on Sat Sep-13-08 01:11 PM by progdonkey
It's like the research they've done on incompetent people: incompetent people just don't realize they're incompetent; in fact, they usually believe they're in the higher range of competence. This sets up a vicious cycle where they do incompetent things because they're incompetent, and because they're incompetent they can't get out of the "hole of incompetence" and are doomed to screw something else up.

Foolish people are basically the same; their incompetence is shown in their inability to think things through. They don't realize that they're making stupid decisions and in fact believe they're making highly rational, well-thought-out decisions, so there's nothing to stop them from making the same mistakes again.

"They're simple, salt of the earth folk. You know... morons."

6. For reference, see "She's a witch" skit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail nt.
BEDEVERE:
What makes you think she is a witch?
VILLAGER #3:
Well, she turned me into a newt.
BEDEVERE:
A newt?
VILLAGER #3:
I got better.
VILLAGER #2:
Burn her anyway!

7. ALL of the people some of the time, SOME of the people all of the time
There's a tiresome underlying current to much leftist thought: that we're beset by inferiors and we can at least somehow recline with the satisfaction of superiority. Most people are fools enough of the time to let plenty of mischief through. There's no great thrill to be of the cognocenti.

The rules are abundently clear: one has to win. Whether it's obvious as hell that one's side benefits the most, the people have to be convinced of this.

This is where Democrats traditionally fail: nuance. People want clarity and simplicity. They want a binary universe with clear answers so they can be freed from the cringing horror of thinking and having to chart their own course through questionable waters. Conservatives give them that. That's why they win when they do. There's an inherent defeatism in the left that typifies the downtrodden, and it's downright scary: even if they destroy us, we're good and noble. Big damned deal. If Obama loses, we're going to hear all sorts of endless sniveling based on race, intellect, and goodness, and it's going to be nauseating.

It's about winning, and the formula should be easy: "don't worry little one, we have the answers, period."

This entire election has been a horror show; there's still a possibility of us getting it right and convincing enough people to go along with it, but I'm as skeptical as I have been all year.

10. That would be a brilliant line
in the debate! And that youtube video about the lies of John McLame should be a campaign commercial.

I've seen some great ideas here the past week. Do Obama's campaign people take outside ideas? Is there a way to get them to someone high up?

11. I am almost certain the Obama Team has input from this Board..but how much is a question?
Edited on Sat Sep-13-08 04:43 PM by opihimoimoi
There has to be members and others who participate to pass on good shit to the Team in addition to the Team Member itself.

Together....Obamas Brain Team has DU's Best going into the Consideration Stew to help formulate strats....

I don't think I am telling you something the GOOPers don't already know...they having been here from the start 7 years ago.

Flottz and I have seen many of our Catchy Phrases and terms used ...too many to be a co-inkydink.

The freepers come to lurk, learn, impose confusing moot minutiae crap to dilute the boards...making it hard for the Obama crew to filter out the chaff

Keep on posting...sooner or later the Team gets it...If Ya use TRUTH, REASON, SANITY...them goopers have a diff time of it.

But once anyone gets Truth Reason Sanity(TRS) they should join Obama's Forces who is championing the Concept/Movement/Change/Shift

This is why The GOP distracts with simple easy to understand crap..They make it believable, dressing up a LIE,

Thanks for the time, effort....we gatta get this...for our Children if anything....

14. It won't stop until racism doesn't exist anymore my friend.
That is the big tool used to keep the division and deception going. They know that a lot of people are content so long as someone else is worse off than they are.

Until then, they will continue manipulating the easily fooled.

16. Agree! This crap gives them a reason why they won't vote for
Obama...they can spout off any of the lies they were told instead of saying they wouldn't vote for a black guy. People know this administration has screwed this country over. This should be an almost easy election.

Edited on Sat Sep-13-08 10:51 PM by opihimoimoi
the list is long on Black athletes, actors, singers, etc etc

and now they stop at the TOP GUN JOB???

To deny entry because of race and to embrace 2nd tier is absurd....at least to us who think for the Common Good
