Reply #27: Its the magical D by his name

I'm sure you've seen the statistics of how many people vote solely on party and don't care about issues. They are a (insert R or D or L or whatever) and they will vote for that party until they die.

Although, there are some people that are just ignorant. A few weeks ago I was having drinks with some friends and the new girlfriend of a buddy of mine was there. We got to talking politics and somehow she made the comment "well, at least Obama closed Gitmo." The rest of us were like "no he didn't" and she responded "yes, it was one of the first things he did as president."

Some people only see what they want to see. This is why networks like Fox News and MSNBC are killing the democratic process. They filter everything so much that people believe their party is so wonderful, all the members are amazing people, and they would never do anything wrong. MSNBC and Fox are not news, they are propaganda that is making our country dumber each day.
