40% plus of Americans support McSame.

[leftofthedial]

WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?

[Zynx]

1. 40% voted for Herbert Hoover.

[daninthemoon]

2. stoooopid

[liberalpress]

3. They're (more than likely)

Older, and frightened of the man with the dark skin and the terrorists middle name. Plus grampos is a WAR HERO! WE'RE AT WAR and of course the ever popular WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?!

[RevolutionStartsNow]

4. A good percentage of them live on my street, it seems...

New signs sprout up every freakin' day!

And I live in a very liberal place (Santa Cruz County). However, there are NO other McCain signs in the neighborhood. I think theres one guy on the street who bought a bunch of signs and handed them out. I wonder why he didn't come to my door?

I am sick of looking at the signs, by tonight I'll have my own Obama sign, plus a No on 8 sign.

I know signs don't vote, but it makes me wonder about the people on my street. I knew one guy was a Repub (had a W sticker), but not the rest of them. Blech.

The funny part is that McCain will probably lose this county, even this precinct, by a huge margin.

[McCCain4retirment]

5. 51% voted for Bush

I'm not surprised anymore

[barbtries]

6. i don't believe it

i think fudging the numbers is part of the plan.

[redqueen]

7. They...

a) get over $250K/year (I won't say "earn" or "make" because I know too many trust fund aholes and people living off their parents' or grandparents' investments.)

b) are racist.

c) are religiously insane.

d) are dumb as a box of hammers.

[cali]

8. conversely, a greater number support Barack Obama

I'm encouraged by that.

[FiveGoodMen]

9. Maybe they are goddamned Nazis at heart and this crap is REALLY what they want.

That seems to be the case with almost all of my worthless, Satan-felatin' relatives.

[leftofthedial]

15. "Kill him!" "Terrorist" "Arab" "Mooz-lim"

thinking of the Daily Show bit they shot in the bar full of bigots in Wasilla AK, it seems that a SERIESLY HUGH! chunk of this country is ignorant, racist morans.

[pitohui]

10. dan quayle said it best...50 percent of americans have an iq below average EOM

and he should know

[succubus.blues]

11. It's the changing of the guard

for the next generation. They are scared of whites not being in the majority any more.

[nomorenomore08]

12. Conversely, though, as many as 52% support Obama, and no Dem candidate since LBJ has gotten

more than 50.1% of the vote, if I remember correctly. Even Clinton never broke 50. So going by recent history, Obama's doing great.

[Sebastian Doyle]

13. Considering that half the eligible voters usually don't show up anyway

That works out to about the same 20% who still support the Chimp. And those poor creatures are beyond redemption. I am hoping that a good chunk of that "other half" does show up this time though. They won't be voting for McCrazy if they do.

[dkofos]

14. Give him time. It will be lower by the time he is done campaigning.

[upi402]

16. tv news, voter fraud, campaign funding, lobbyists,

an stuff

[Swamp Rat]

17. I doubt it

He does, however, have a dedicated following.

[yurbud]

18. If you read the Powell Memo, he says political activism in 60s was result of too much educatio

so they have been working to undermine it in every way possible ever since. They have been far more successful with K-12 by micromanaging and regulating it to death than they have with higher ed. With college, they've just made it impossible for most kids to go without working full time, so they won't graduate until they are 30, giving them little time for political activism but plenty of time to provide cheap labor at Hot Dog on a Stick.

[Shine]

19. That's not really true when you think about it.

Only about half the country actually votes in national elections, sadly, so the president is chosen by a much smaller percentage, technically speaking.
