Good God! They were all pretty uninformed and not too smart. Not one of those people could explain what Romney's policies were. And every last one of them just parroted right wing talking points. And none of them looked like they were anywhere near being part of the 1% yet they're voting Republican. Only in right wing America. It still gets me how anyone with any sense would associate themselves with this group of low lives who think they are the only true Americans.

Others couldn't name Obama policies they didn't like or what Rmoney was offering.


A woman said Obama was a atheist and a Muslim.

This is the mentality of the Romney voters who obviously are not members of the 1%? And they want to dumb down education even more than it is now? All of these people should get a copy of this sent to their families--especially the older ones. I'm so glad I made myself watch the whole thing, because Meatloaf--I always thought you were an asshole. Confirmation at last.

---"Look, there's always something you can do. You telling me people can't make a choice for a better life? We have to help all of them? No. I'll tell you what really need to do with these illegitimate families on welfare—give all the kids up for adoption and execute the parents."

I stare at him and blink in a glaze of shock.

Just to be sure I heard him right, I ask him to repeat it, twice.

"Yes, I mean it. Get rid of all of them, give the kids up for adoption, execute the parents, and you get rid of the problem."---

modern communications have opened our eyes to the fact that ignorance is still flourishing. If people don't grow and continue to educate themselves in every respect people will continue to cling to superstition and predudice (sic). Of course the 'power hungry' will use these foolish unfortunates to further their agendas.

Their only concern is maintaining their lifestyle. It's an easy fear button for the right wing to activate. The behavior models they get from television empower their disdain for education, which makes them perfect little pawns for the GOP to use to win elections.
