Dem house leader Pelosi thinks you all are very very stupid

[uscitizen]

I am trying to find the poll but since its 10 or 15 years old, I am having trouble.

A major poll asked americans who they trust most.

Walter Cronkite won the poll, which is kinda scary since he basically read the news.

But the person who cam in second was Betty Crocker. Betty Crocker? People trust a fictional character off a cake mix box?


And you think Pelosi is wrong?

Walter Cronkite I understand. The point is he READ the news and did not make it into a political commentary. Although he did do commentary spots they were clearly identified as such.

The more I think about this thread the more I am amused.

People sound insulted that a politician thinks they are stupid. But we continually prove them right. H.L. Menken said "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the american people".

We think we have all these choices and freedoms, but the choices we have are trivial, and the things that matter give us few or no choices.

You want to buy ice cream? They have 31 flavors. You want choices in who to vote for? Basically there are two. [ty George Carlin]


If you look at the religious organizations and the political clout they have, its scary. Their entire premise is based on the fact that there is an invisible man who watches everything you do and keeps track of every rule you break. He holds you responsible for even THINKING about doing something bad. But since he see everything, he also lets terrorists kill thousands of innocent people, single moms get cancer, children get brutally abused, old people get cheated out of their life savings, and entire species get wiped out. People scam us and steal from us in his name and he does nothing about it.

But he LOVES us.


And yet this same group of people can stop someone from getting elected. If a candidate said he was an atheist he would be finished.

This same group thinks god blesses OUR country and wants us to be greater than other countries.


Roughly 65% of the people in this country believe in angels. That means 2 out of every 3 people believe there are invisible beings that will help them when they screw up.





I think anyone who doesn't think this country is full of idiots is either an idiot or hasn't been paying attention.

Why is it funny? I hope you don’t think I made up the Sammy davis jr part…I didn’t. that’s what this group of fools and racists left in the republican party have been running around with. And if you think a bald headed fuck who makes 40k a year and thinks that the govt giving him a tax cut is “socialism”, comparing the democratic nominee for president to Sammy davis jr, isn’t a racist issue, then they must piss their pants with glee at the three card monte tables when they see you coming.

I absolutely do not see comparing someone to Sammy as being racist. Sammy Davis Jr was pretty friggin successful, was a beloved actor/singer/dancer/trumpet player/ etc..., plus he was a member of the infamous Rat Pack.... To be clear, I did not hear the context in which the plumber compared him to Sammy, but I fail to see how it is racist.

Side note... when the government takes money from people who pay taxes and gives it to those that don't... it is indeed socialistic. Especially when you call it a 'tax cut' to people who do not pay income taxes.

Yes he loves us and will condemn us to eternal pain if we do not worship him.

something just not quite right with all of that.

the one thing I would like to see the Dems undo is Bankruptcy reform. THe orginal purpose of Bankruptcy was to give debtors in over their head a clean start. It is time to go BACK to the old code.

well the bankruptcy "reform" was just to help the banks cover their bad loans and we are bailing them out anyway.
