You continue to prefer the rich one percenters while working against the middle class. So much for C . . . . . T . . . . as it works against a true democracy.
ReplyDeleteI would think a straight Kool Aid diet would make you sick. Would you tell us which members of your Socialist party are not "one percenters?" Give this to someone in your family, in case my request is not clear enough.
ReplyDeleteI have deleted a couple of words used to prejudice the readership, and used for no other reason. In the future, I will not include the first letters, as I have in your comment. I will continue to allow opposing comments, but I have decided to insist on opinions that have redeeming value in the discussion. There are plenty of conservative editors who allow such crap, but not here. This blog is an educational blog, and, believe it or not, a non-partisan blog (I pretty much hate everyone), not one designed for tireless and childish debate. I am an independent and do not vote "straight Republican." In fact, I no longer give to the GOP and will not as long as John McCain is a member of that party.
Besides, the survey is Gallop, hardly a part of the "vast right wing conspiracy."
ReplyDeleteThe Bloomberg review you quote, like the faithful parrot you have proven to be, only challenges the opinion that Obama is seen as our worst president since FDR. But the polling results are the polling results. Are the Quinnipiac results written in stone? Of course not. But that is the very assumption of the Bloomberg editor, a "political scientists" and as big a Lefty as there is. Can you say "bias?"
ReplyDeleteDoes the Quinnipias poll show Obama's popularity in decline? Here are words from your man of the hour: "This new Quinnipiac poll does provide further evidence that President Barack Obama’s mild rally that began late last year has stalled or reversed."
You are riding a dead horse. We are watching a man, elected to office without a smidgen of specific qualification, attempting to do the impossible and that is to fundamentally transform this country without popular support of the people, the permanence of accomplished legislation, or with regards to established law and order. He is a rogue revolutionary, motivated by a personal and messianic agenda more than a pure ideology, with absolutely no ability to manage a crisis after he has taken ownership of a particular crisis or get along with those who oppose his goals and Utopian fantasies.
