Too Stupid To Vote?

This past election showed how stupid people really are. It is sad that the intelligence level of the average voter dropped so low. I guess it is a symbol of how pathetic the election process has gotten in this country.

It is no secret that the mainstream media was in the tank for Obama. We are seeing signs of those biased outlets admitting that perhaps their coverage was slanted towards Obama. Gee that is a major revelation.

Before going any further, this article will not make the claim that all Obama voters are stupid. They are not. There are many who believe in his philosophies while claiming to know what he stands for. Yet, with such slanted coverage, how can anyone be sure they know what he is all about.

John Ziegler of Zogby is putting together a documentary "Media Malpractice... How Obama Got Elected". It is based upon his results of interviews with dozens of Obama voters. He asks a series of questions designed to determine the knowledge level of these people about that campaign. A preview can be see here.

The right to vote is something that is guaranteed to those in this country. However, I must say that there are some who are just too dumb to vote. If you cannot make an informed decision, you ought to stay home. We ensure people can operate a vehicle before we give them a driver's license. Therefore, we should determine if someone has basic political brain function before giving them a voter registration card.

Before getting all up in arms that I am being unfair, notice in the film that they asked tough questions like "What do you think of Nancy Pelosi" or "Do you know who Barney Frank is". These are not exactly obscure people. Also, during the campaign, both of their names came up as major players in some of the recent events. Yet these people cannot even identify who they were.

These people are political morons. They have no ability to decide anything on their own. The only basis for their votes is what the mainstream media tells them. Well, since the major networks and papers were for Obama, with some giving him 80% favorable coverage, it is no wonder these idiots thinks he can walk on water. Again, these people have no business being in a voting booth.

I propose minimum requirements that people need to meet in order to vote in Presidential elections. This is not something that is too much to ask. The lives of the other 300 million people rest upon the knowledge of the rest of the field voting. This election showed one thing: that many people are simply to stupid to vote.

We were promised change

The Democrats gave the Republicans a thorough ass kicking. I am writing this as the election is still going on. It is 9:30 Eastern time so the polls have not closed in many states. However, it seems that Obama won Ohio which gives him the Electoral College unless there is a total upset. At the same time, they won a minimum 4 Senate seats with another 2-5 possible. The House will witness the same type of results.

What does this all tell us? Simple. America wants a change. I agree 100% with them. Where I differ is in that many believe it is coming. Let me be the first to tell everyone: real change will not come. Sure, there will be legislature passed which will move this country further to the left. Nevertheless, in terms of change, there is nothing.

The government is now a giant piggy bank. Those who believe something is coming to them are foolish. I saw a poll that said 70% of the people believe their taxes are not going down under Obama (the number was 54% for McCain). Thus, the majority believed that both candidates were lying when they promised tax cuts. Yet they still had to vote for someone.

Here is my projection: we will see more of the same bull crap that we witnessed for the last few decades. The tax increases on the rich is a fallacy. I was talking with a friend of mine who is an Obama supporter who also happens to be rather wealthy. He retired at 50 with an investment account of well over $1,000,000 cash. Even with the destruction of the markets, he still has enough money to live on for another 4 years without a single dime of income coming in.

So, why did he support Obama? His tax liability in 2007 was less than 3%. This is a person that Obama promised to raise taxes on. Is my friend patriotic like Joe Biden mentioned for wanting to pay more taxes? Not exactly. The reason he voted for Obama is because he knows damn well that his taxes are not going up. All the wealthy know this.

It might be helpful for me to tell you what my friend's career was: he was an accountant. He made a lot of money reducing the tax liability for his wealthy clients. He did it so well that he became one of them.

So where does this leave us? The proverbial middle class is stuck holding the bill again. People like my friend are not going to see a tax increase. We all know the bottom rung are not going to pay more taxes; hell they pay none as it is. Thus, the middle class is going to have to pay for the huge spending that Pelosi and Reid are going to push through Congress.

By the way, we were going to see much the same thing with a McCain victory. This truly is a time where the voters are damned if they do and if they don't. The Federal government is now Santa Claus. Our political leadership is offering handouts at a record pace. We are about to see the largest increase in the debt. It sits now at $11 trillion. By the time Obama leaves office, it will be around $20 Trillion.

It is simple economics: there needs to be a huge increase in revenues to make up for the mamoth expenditures which will be implemented. Without that, there must be big deficits or the Fed will need to print massive amounts of money. Of course, this devalues the money out there.

So what really changed? When you get past the fluff and surface garbage, you realize nothing. The American people will get screwed over the next four years by the elitists in Washington. Obama is not the one who will move the country towards socialism. Rather, it is the voters who are asking for all the handouts. In reality, the politicians are only giving the people what they want.
