dont you mean 18-75?  cause there are people over the age of 25 that i have talked to and asked them why they voted for Obama and i could never get a response that had to do with the issues...  blind followers is how Hitler got elected....  (Ben, im not relating Obama to Hitler)

That might be because they feel you're being hostile towards them, and don't feel like sharing their political opinions.

BTW, blind followers come from both sides. Manipulating stupid people who don't know anything about politics to vote for you wins elections. The number of people who know alot about politics to come to a fair decision for a leader < The number of people who will get behind someone simply because they believe in them and they agree on some things *cough* religion *cough*. 

I know plenty of people who can't back up their conservative political beliefs, and for those who can, I respect them because they know what they're talking about. It goes both ways.

i dont CARE about your useless anecdotal evidence. the fact of the matter is there is no proof that there were more dumb obama supporters than mccain supporters. just like there is no proof there were more dumb mccain supporters than obama supporters (i wish there was :P).

hahaha i wasnt saying everyone, but i def feel outnumbered here, compared to say back home in IL. however my REAL point was that hes just throwing out anecdotal evidence based on his extraordinarily limited personal experience, with no real proof to back it up.

Well his remark definitely had some truth to it.  The average ignorant Obama supporter's logic was "Bush is gay.  Bush = McCain.  Obama = Weed".  The average ignorant McCain supporter' logic was "Obama is a Soviet.  I hate black people."

There were more on the Obama end, my proof:  FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!  6 million in the Obama group, 500,000 in the McCain one!  We all know Facebook houses every ignorant college student in America, so I think this evidence is conclusive.

ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED


WHERE DID I DENY THAT PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM BECAUSE HE WAS HIP



my point was there were also millions of old racist people who voted against him because he was black. and dumb evangelicals who thought he was muslim. etc. etc.

there will never be a way to quantify how many people voted for or against him for those reasons though. so stop speculating. period.

well dont freak out DUDE! i was making a point that he got a lot of votes because it was the hip thing to do. no need to call me retarded. besides my lack of grammar use on this website my iq score was 133 when i was 14 years old. im sure the weed has brought that down significantly but im still holding on strong to that number.

... wait.  you mean to say... the liberal states have higher populations than the average conservative state?

HOLY SHIT.  you've discovered a key concept to understanding American politics!  surely no one has mentioned this before you, definitely not every single worthless t.v. pundit to come out of the woodwork during election season!

thank you, the universe makes sense now

and anyone who likes motorized recreation or use of public land/nation forests.

Barry(obama) has already signed in on millions and millions of land into wilderness already most of which did not meet the wilderness guideslines set back in 1964'.

Bye bye snowmobile access in many places.


People wanted change and they will get it too bad for those of us who enjoy our freedom will be smothered with more laws and taxes.

I like him because he's a democrat, he's optimistic and realistic at the same time, he ordered the killing of the Somali Pirates, and he's black.

really? he didnt know what to do? im sure you know that because you were sitting in the white house watching his every move, and know exactly how his decision making process works.

christ am i the only one thats glad we have a president that actually thinks and doesnt just react with his first impulse?

and considering there was a SEAL detachment onboard that Navy vessel Obama doesnt know how to use his military quite yet.  SEALs are trained to do many things one of which is to kill people without said people knowing they were ever there....

hahahaha jesus ben like really is that all you got a /facepalm. i always figured you were a little bit brighter than that.

like i realllllly realllllly am starting to hope that either a terrorist or pirate gets a hold of someone in your family. you will then maybe learn how much these people dont give a fuck about anything. if you just try and call them and say lets do this peacefully your family member dies.

there have already been news articles from a bunch of different news papers that have said, obama should have reacted sooner and that the military said they could have handle this within 72 hours if given the green light.

Meh, his stimulus bill was signed by him February 17th I think. Considering he was in office for only 28 days, thats pretty quick. Although he was probably thinking it up before, he didn't take the time out to hear the economist that disagreed with the bill. Also, it's pretty obvious that more ignorant voters voted for Obama than McCain. Just watch this video, and although this is only a few people, you get the idea. I can't find another video like this about McCain.
