World's dumbest McCain-Palin supporter?

"Parker described her family as among the "working poor," and said she doesn't want a Democratic administration, which would bring universal health insurance, because she says she doesn't want to pay the taxes for it."

1. There's people like that all over the country.
It's sad, really.

2. Sadly, probably not
I'm guessing she only scores an "average" marking on the dumb scale.

3. Oh, I'd say there would be fairly fierce competition for that scepter
She survives the final cut, though.

4. That's pretty painful, but..
these people just need to be corrected on their misinterpretations. Some of these people probably don't have the time to read up on the candidates, if they are working and/or caring for children constantly. I'd much rather see this than, say, racist bigotry or "I just don't get a good feeling about Obama." At least this person is thinking about the issues!

5. They simply can't believe that things can be any better. Truly hopeless.

6. Is that dumb or masochistic?
Because that persons statement is all about self inflicting pain and undue suffering, what a sad pathetic case.

7. Dumb
She thinks she is wealthy and would pay a lot of tax for healthcare. In reality, she'd get 5 or 10 thousand dollars worth of coverage for a couple hundred of additional taxes. But she hasn't even worked the math and is already sure she doesn't like it.

8. When our economy tanks, she will pay much, much more due to inflation,
at the grocery store, the gas station, Walmart, the doctor's office, everywhere. :eyes: The repubs have been very effective in creating fear of taxes.

My mother was on an extremely limited income. I once asked her why she felt that the party of big money represented her better than the dems. She couldn't answer. Limbaugh had told her that the liberals were the reason for her lot in life & she swallowed it without question.

12. She's probably one of those uninsured
you know, the ones whose bills we pick up for their emergency room visits. If you're poor enough, no health insurance is better than mandatory health insurance.

16. This guy represents one of the big kinds of stupid
He sees the election as a sports contest and he just wants his team to win. He's even dressed to root for his team. I don't know if he's stupider than the other one - I would say yes, because the other one was at least talking about issues even though she was completely wrong. This guy doesn't even know there are issues.
