This batch of clods can't tell us what the 'fiscal cliff' is but I'll bet money they all know what 'Snooki's' (Jersey Shore) bra size is, or who won American Idol last week.

I would say that applies to the bulk of the population. You don't need brains, facts, or even a brain cell to get elected. You just need a good PR campaign...and that good PR campaign is what keeps Democrats down on the farm.

Actually Laurel, that's what keeps most of the Democrats in the bid metropolitan areas. There's work to do 'down on the farm'. Now if you had used the word 'plantation', I'd agree 100% ;-) ;-)

The democrats have done a brilliant job, along with the help of the international conglomerate mainstream media, funded by anti- American socialists like George Soros, at FOOLING the American people. I guess all those words they hurled at Repubs worked- racists, sexists, homophobes, etc. Just a bunch of distractions, and now they will all be clobbered by the blood-sucking socialist democrats!

To those dummies who don't even know what the fiscal cliff is...they are just part of the politically uneducated and shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Amazing how common sense people become when you just present them with some ideas without saying who's ideas they are and they tend to lean to the conservative side, at least in spending and taxes that is (social issues are a completely different realm).

However if he would have come out and said Republicans believe this and want this and Obama doesn't they would have tried to make something up in their head that even they didn't understand as to why Obama was right and they would agree with him.

Gives you a window into George Washington's thinking when he said beware of the parties.

The first step in stopping this insanity is to regain control of the media. Presently, they are the primary culprits in the "dumbing down" of America. They spin stories to benefit the WH, ignore stories that could hurt it, and demonize the Republican Party as racist, extreme, and intransigent. I have not renewed my newspaper or magazine subscriptions for this very reason. Hopefully, enough of you feel likewise and do the same. The left aren't the only ones capable of boycott.

Its like your saying a bad word when you say R e p u b l i c a n. To my knowledge this has been mostly if not all began only since Obama - nation propaganda machine.

Proof that they have no idea what Democrats (or Republicans) are acually doing. When they actually have to speak for themselves they don't support what the Democrats are doing and they still call themselves Democrats.....because they don't know the Democrats are doing exactly what they said shouldn't be done.

Sad, because they all voted Democrat I am sure.

From the sound of it some of them may not have even voted. Some of them sounded like they didn't know for sure what party they would consider themselves as, but defaulted to Democrat because that's what the government school system programs them to be.

This video proves that good PR works. Democrats have been better than Republicans at articulating the economic problems and the solutions. Albeit BAD solutions.

What is sad is they aren't calling themselves democrat or republican because they agree with one ideal but because of which one they perceive as being 'cool'. Wake the @#% up people!

so much for Romney being the perfect candidate. He couldn't even explain to people like this why being a republician is good. When Reagan ran for POTUS people knew what he stood for.

The problem with the GOP is not that they lose arguments to the dems its that they don't even try to win them anymore. They don't believe in Reaganism so instead of promoting reaganism/conservatism instead they try to be like the dems and the dems simple get people to think the gop are the dems.

Crowder is a funny guy, but these people just make me sad and angry. They voted in this Imposter because he promised them free stuff that he has zero intent on following through on. To top it off, we are going to financially crash because of their stupidity! I have four kids that don't deserve the future that these idiots voted for! I was raised to be fiscally responsible and I worked three jobs to pay for my own education. I'm sick of lazy people taking advantage of my responsible choices, and expecting me and other responsible people to pay for their lazy, irresponsible life choices! Frankly, I think there ought to be a civics test that you must pass to get the privilege to vote! Notice I say that it should be a privilege and not a right. Rights are abused and taken advantage of with little thought of their power. Look at the ignoramuses in this video to prove my point! A privilege is valued and it should come with the responsibility of being educated to know how to make an intelligent choice. These sheep are too stupid and I'm tired of cleaning up after their mess. It's not rocket science to make a budget and stay in it! Yet the clowns these fools voted in could not make a grocery shopping list without dropping a trillion dollars! And they get paid to be this stupid?!

they did not vote for Obama because he promised free stuff they voted in Obama because Romney failed to explain the alternative. I dind't see Romney out warning about coming middle class tax cuts. I didn't see Romney when the SPeaker cut the fiscal cliff deal with Obama to "get it off the table" before the election. I didn't see Romney pounding Obamacare repeal every day. I didn't see ROmney promising to not cut government just cut the rate of increase. I didn't see Romney out explaining why illegal immigration destroys middle class good paying jobs. I didn't see Romeny explain why Obama's and the fed's policy of QE was a hidden tax destroying people's wealth at a rate of almost 20% over the last 4 years. I didn't see Romney explain why lower energy is the lifeblood of the economy andhow Obama was destroying the energy makers ability to drill for new oil , transport the oil or how ND was the only state having good economic times because of its drilling.

Romney offered nothing but that he wasn't Obama. He didn't make the sell. It was not becaus eObama promised free stuff but that Romney failed to convince a majority that with him and a growing economy they wouldn't need the "free stuff"

notebene

No...they bought Obama's hard sell of how they are victims for being a stupid woman, or gay, or any color other than white. He then moved on to further scare tactics with the elderly, telling them that Medicare would be endangered under Romney, when it's actually Odumbocare that's syphoning 714 billion, just to start, away from Medicare. Every point you made, covered in every one of the debates. The problem is that people have gotten used to collecting a check sitting on their ass. They have zero self respect, and they believe that a paying failing administration is the answer. Most of them are way too stupid to get that the "free stuff" is at the ultimate cost of their freedom and that the taxpayers are getting fewer and fewer. Even if they get that hike on the alleged wealthy, it would only cover about 8 days worth of the government being open! I agree that the GOP sold everyone who needed any alternative other than socialism completely out. This election was nothing more than banana republic scam. We had the choice of democrat communist or GOP socialism light. Now we have a despot in power and there will be no negotiating with him...he's on yet another vacation. The Americans who voted for this get what they deserve. I'm angry for those of us who have fought for the truth the entire time and got nothing but shit to show for it. It's cool to be ignorant and lazy...Odumbo's a prime example.

Good on you Stephan. Who knows..maybe one of those people will actually do some research for themselves and stop blindly following democratic talking points.

maybe instead of praying these people do "research" the GOPe will get off their butts and teach/explain/win these people over by talking about who they are and what the GOP's platform is.

'I'm probably a pretty strong Democrat'

Probably? You don't even know whether or not your 'pretty strong' about what you are politically? How can you be pretty strong and think that it's only probably so? Ahhhhhhh.

Bring on the fiscal cliff. These people need to feel our pain.

Most folks can't discern between Dem and Rep because they're so uninformed that they have no idea what the difference is. They say "I'm a Democrat" because that's what their daddy is and told them they will be, too.

no they gave the answer they thought he wanted. It's very "uncool" to be a republician. That is something the GOPe doesn't understand. For the avg person they now think GOPe means country clubbers or bible thumpers because the GOPe doesn't stand for anything anymore they allowed themselves to be painted negatively by the dems.

The media has brainwashed anyone who watches them to obtain facts and most aren't interested enough to look any further. If the media was on the side of Republicans it be uncool to be a Democrat. From sticoms to news to movies to talk show hosts to comedians all you hear is Republican bashing and lies. Conservatives who actually stand up for what Republicans should stand for are even more hated and reviled than Republicans.

The liberal media is the enemy of liberty in America.

BikerHoop

You've definitely hit one nail on the head - the GOPe doesn't stand for anything anymore. They will no longer represent conservatives. They will no longer represent American ideals. They will no longer represent anyone other than liberals. It's time for a third party to rise from the ashes.

We have to just abandon the "GOP" and what it has morphed into and recognize and encourage the idea that the majority of our nation shares conservative views and values and wants to adhere to our Constitution and recognize that in domestic politics as in international stature to capitulate to any degree makes it that much easier to capitulate to a greater degree, a slippery slope.

The Constitutional Freedom Party could be a great place to start.

Too many people only think they know the positions on issues being taken by the respective parties and ideologies. They've been inundated with so much propaganda that they don't know what the truth is. I really wish that every American would turn off all of the news outlets, and do their own research on the issues and where the parties and ideologies stand on them. They might be surprised to learn that they have more in common with conservatives than they think.

How about we round them up 50,000 at a time, entice them to an arena, lock them in and show these vids on the huge screens. Show them repeatedly for a period of no less than 24 hours and not to exceed seven days. We could even serve them conservative cuisine, like pizza and tacos.

I've never had the opportunity to eat at (or have not even seen) a Chick-fil-A. Nearest one is about 120 miles from home... a little too far to go to eat a dang chicken! If I'm ever near one I'm gonna stop, though.

No tickets necessary. It's free to conservatives. You might have to serve food, though... 50,000 people can eat a lot of pizza and tacos.
