The Obama voter, apparently, is one of the most ignorant sets of voters that we have ever seen or known about in a presidential race.

John Ziegler got hold of Zogby, and said, “I have some questions,” and he paid him to do a poll.

So Zogby did the poll after the election. The way to look at this is, the poll had no impact on anything because there’s no vote. There’s no election, no nothing. They just went out, found a bunch of Obama voters and they did the scientific poll that Zogby always does.

It was 512 Obama voters between November 13th and November 15th. The margin of error is 4.4 points.

The results…

By the way, 97.1% — and these are Obama voters — 97.1% of the Obama voters were high school graduate or higher. Fifty-five percent were college graduates.

57.4% could not correctly say which party controls Congress.

By the way, these were multiple choice poll questions. These people were wild guessing and they couldn’t even get it. I mean, you have a 50-50 shot just by guessing. Multiple choice, and still, 57.4% did not know which party controls Congress.

That’s the Democrats; 71.8% could not correctly say that Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism.

Now, there were four possibilities here: 25% chance to get it right by guessing; 71.8% couldn’t figure it out, and 82.6% could not correctly say that Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot.

This was a four-option multiple choice question. They had a 25% chance of getting it right; 82% could not identify Obama as the guy who won his first election by kicking all of his opponents off the ballot; 88.4% could not correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket. Again, there were four possibilities in the question.

So you had a 25% chance of getting it right just by guessing. Eighty-eight had no clue, 88%; 56% could not correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground. So 56% basically didn’t know about Bill Ayers.

Yet these same voters, only 13% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes. Meaning, what would that be, 87% knew that Sarah Palin was the person. Yeah. Ninety-four percent knew that Palin was the one with the pregnant teenaged daughter; 86.9% thought Palin said she could see Russia from her house, even though that was Tina Fey that said that, as Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live.

Only 2.4% of the whole sample got at least 11 answers correct. Only 0.5% got all the answers correct.

These were Obama voters. What it shows is that the Obama voters were total addicts to the Media. The Media informed none of their audience about Bill Ayers, about Biden and his plagiarism. They didn’t know it.

But they did know everything in the world about Sarah Palin. They knew everything in the world about how stupid she was, how dumb she was and all that sort of stuff. Obama’s voters have no clue who he is.

We do! We know what Obama is going to do. Now, it’s interesting, Zogby took heat for this like you can’t imagine in the Media.

He had to put out a statement on his website verifying that this was a legit poll and that he was contracted by John Ziegler to do this and he did it according to scientific techniques he always uses. So then it came up somebody said, “Why don’t you get Zogby to do the same poll of McCain voters and find out what they know. You know, how smart are they, how informed are they?” Zogby has refused to do that, even though money was raised to pay Zogby to do it. He has refused to do that; ’cause he took too much heat, I suppose.

So it’s a multiple choice poll. And Obama voters are clueless. They don’t know who he is. We do. I don’t know what it means. I don’t know if these voters are going to be all bent out of shape when he starts doing what he’s going to do.

But it’s clear that they were presented an image of Obama — a messianic, charismatic image without any specifics whatsoever — and that they’re just unprepared for anything that comes down the pike.

So I don’t know what their reaction is going to be, once Obama starts doing what he’s doing. The point of this Ziegler-Zogby poll on the Obama voters, is they don’t know who runs Congress. But they do know that, quote, unquote, “Sarah Palin is stupid.”

Now, we can track that back to where? We can trace that one back to late-night television hosts, irresponsible faux news clowns, and Saturday Night Live and YouTube and the left-wing blogs.

Some of these voters probably don’t even read newspapers. But it’s quite striking the degree of ignorance (it’s the most expensive commodity we have) that Obama voters exhibited; and then you have to say, “Is it ignorance, or is it that that’s all they knew?”

Think about it… Scary stuff people…

It is sad and funny at the same time. It was predictable, a lot of people did predict it. They were right.

What went on on Capitol Hill Tuesday is a testament to the cluelessness of the people in charge of supposedly saving this economy.

It is absolutely absurd to watch all this go down. Barney Frank is mad that the money is not being spent to buy out mortgages. He’s mad that the money is not being lent by the banks. He’s mad that the money is not being used as it should be used.

The one thing about this is the central planner that they hired on this, Hank Paulson — he’s just doing what he was empowered to do.

He’s in charge. He is a dictator when it comes to this bailout money. They gave him the power. I don’t even know why they have the right to call him up there and have him explain what he’s doing. How many times have I read to you the preamble, sections 1 and 2, the purpose of the bailout legislation? I don’t know how many people have not noticed this, but the Secretary of the Treasury was given 100% power.

Isn’t it amazing again that these guys in Congress — the House of Representatives and the Senate who passed this bill, wrote it and set it up — are now acting outraged that there hasn’t been any oversight. They’re the ones that are supposed to have been doing the oversight.

So just like Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath, just like any other calamity when a bridge collapses or anything else, the people in charge of it get to set themselves up as spectators; surprised and shocked that this is happening and how come nobody told ’em? — and they get away with it. The architects of this disaster are now questioning the man they gave total power to run this whole show, as though he’s screwing up. They didn’t want the hot potato. They wanted to get the credit for signing up and getting the $700 bill out there, but they threw it off on Paulson.

Basically, what you have here is Wall Street has taken over Washington. Paulson knows it. Everybody else knows it. And these guys are now questioning Paulson as to what he’s going to do and he’s going up there and taking the heat, but he knows in his back pocket he’s got the legislation that granted him total power to do whatever he wanted.

Congress is just… I mean, I’ve never seen such an exercise in self-loathing. It’s hard to watch — and I have been watching it.

Have you heard the latest policy from Obamaism? Obama wants — He talked about this with McCain in the meeting, “ending corporate welfare” as they sit there and debate whether or not to send $25 or $50 billion to the auto industry.

But yet they’re going to “end corporate welfare.” We’re not ending corporate anything! We’re in the business of nationalizing as much of these business as possible.

Congress spent the last six years doing what?

Blasting the 2002 resolution of force agreement against Iraq that they authored; and if you remember, they demanded a second vote on this. The Democrats were reading the tea leaves going into the midterm elections in November in 2002.

The Democrats said,

“You know, we’re not on the right side of this Iraq thing. The American people are all fired up and want to go in there.”

So they demanded — even after they had granted the president authority to use force at the time of his choosing, they demanded — a second vote.

Tom Daschle and Kerry did, so that they could get on record, be on record to have everybody in the country know they supported this.

Yet for the last six years, they’ve been acting like they had nothing to do with it, like Bush lied to them, like this is a total Bush operation.

They wrote this $700 billion bailout bill. Most of them passed it, signed it, voted for it without having read the whole thing. Now they tell us that they are stunned that there hasn’t been any oversight? I don’t know where the oversight is when you grant the Treasury secretary full power to do with this 700 billion whatever he wants to do with it, because he is empowered here to “ensure the economic security of the American people.”

They have expressed extreme disappointment that they passed the Bush tax cuts.

They’re lashing out at the central planner they created and empowered. Public approval ratings of Congress are at practically an all-time low.

And even Congress doesn’t seem happy with the decisions that they have been making. This is just a joke to watch them.

This is quite a teachable moment…

Because there’s so many people in this country, so many voters, so many average citizens think government is the solution to their personal problems, local problems, state problems, federal problems.

The government can handle it. The government should do something. Every time the government’s empowered to take care of a crisis, they make it worse! It doesn’t get solved, and yet people continue to somehow buy into the notion that government is the solution to these problems.

It’s not.

The individual entrepreneurs are — and poor old Mark Cuban, he had it dead on right at that post at the Huffington Post and he’s all upset because not one member of Obama’s economic team is an entrepreneur, and he said entrepreneurs are the guys that are going to be the key to the economic recovery.

Mark, entrepreneurs are the targets of Barack Obama. They’re the ones that are going to be paying all these new tax increases.

He wants to limit their ability to “access the American dream,” quote, unquote. Of course there are not any entrepreneurs around Obama. He believes that government, central planning is the focus.

So many people put their blind faith in the government to take care of things, eliminate problems, and now this is a joke, what is happening with all of these supposed bailouts, what’s happening in the states. The city of New York, the mayor there wants people to limit the amount of salt that they use?

This is just getting beyond the point of absurdity. It really is. At some point, you sit here and you desperately hope that enough people will realize that when the government says they’ve got the answers, they are lying. — SIMPLE TRUTH

This is a collection of fools.
This is a collection of zombies.

In the Los Angeles Times today. The headline says it all:

“Political Temperature May be Just Right for Health Care Overhaul.”

Ohhhh! Political temperature may be just right. I wonder what the political temperature is? Well, the temperature is:

“[T]he bleak environment [and ‘the ballooning budget deficit’] may paradoxically spur the kind of costly, sweeping overhaul of the nation’s healthcare system that has eluded policymakers in Washington for decades… Hospitals and physicians are increasingly worried about the escalating burden of newly unemployed workers being thrown onto the rolls of the uninsured. Liberal advocacy groups see the Treasury Department’s $700-billion commitment to banks and other financial institutions bolstering the case for a similar investment to help sick Americans get medical care.”

So this “bleak” economic environment will lead to a bailout of the health care system. That’s what the LA Times story is saying; and on page two, they even make the point that “runaway healthcare costs would not slow during the recession.”

Health care is immune to market pressures of cost.

“Runaway health care costs [do] not slow during recession.”

Other costs do, but health care doesn’t. So this means it’s only going to keep going up with people having less disposable income. We’re going to have to move in there and help out. This is the perfect environment to get national health care. The market just doesn’t work. Even in a recession, when you ought to have prices coming down because of lack of demand, the health industry is immune.

See, the market doesn’t work. We have to step in. “We,” as government, have to step in and we have to finally do this. That’s the way these people think.

Plus, Ted Kennedy‘s health is going to be a large factor in this because there will someday be a health care bill in the Senate, and it will have his name in it, and it will be promoted in his memory, and it is going to be real tough for anybody in the House or Senate to vote against something that is essentially a memoriam to the great work of the old great liberal lion, Ted Kennedy.

So what have we figured out here?

We figured out that the Obama camp will bail out the auto industry (but it’s actually going to be a bailout of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm, and the unions).

We have also figured out there’s going to be a gasoline tax increase, if the prices of oil stay this low. There’s no question these people are going to see an opportunity to tax it, since we are already accustomed to paying more than what’s being charged now.

Plus, it will come down in the guise of,

“Hey, you’re saving the planet by doing this, folks. We’re going to see to it you drive less just like you were four months ago. I mean, that was really great for the planet back then, it didn’t last so we’re going to raise taxes there — and we’re going to get national health care.”

We can see this coming down the pike. It’s right there in front of us. It’s like we’re with the lemmings, they’re heading for the cliff, and there’s nothing to stop it.

Geronimo…

Ever wonder…

Why is it that conservatives don’t protest and riot and so forth like the left does whenever they don’t get their way?

We have a respect for the democratic process. When we lose we lose and we try to fight our battles internally (as is happening now), and we try to come back and win, and we always try to win by persuading as many minds and hearts as possible to agree with us.

The left isn’t that way. They don’t care about persuading anybody. They are thugs, and they use these kinds of tactics. They will not tolerate defeat.

Look at the Senate race in Minnesota. They’re trying to openly steal that. The democratic process does not limit them.

There’s a big argument going on between gay rights activists and black activists. You know, the N-word is being thrown around by a bunch of leftists, these people of tolerance.

Isn’t it fascinating that these people who demand tolerance, particularly the militant homosexual groups that mobilize politically like this, they’re the ones demanding all kinds of tolerance for their lifestyles and their desires and who they are. They have none.

You notice how so many liberal concepts are one way streets. Tolerance is a one-way street. They don’t have to tolerate anything. They don’t have to tolerate tradition. They don’t have to tolerate defeat. They don’t have to tolerate a majority opposing them. They don’t have to tolerate.

They can protest and they can intimidate and they can get judges to overturn the will of the people if they want. They can go out and destroy, or try to destroy the churches that are populated by people that disagree with the militant gay rights agenda.

So they don’t have to be tolerant.

We have to be tolerant. We have to be tolerant and understand their grievance as a minority, and when we enter the Democratic arena — say Prop 8 here in California — and vote down the whole concept of gay marriage, well, they mobilize and start protesting and intimidating and so forth, and they’re not going to go away ’til they get this done. They’re not going to go away ’til they get this done.

I call your attention to Prop 187 in California, same thing…

People of California finally got fed up with paying for health care and welfare and social services for the children of illegals. So they passed Prop 187 in a huge majority, and of course the opponents of 187 took the whole thing to court, and a federal judge found that the whole proposition was unconstitutional, which is what they’re going to try to do here with Proposition 8. So, the playing field for us is never level and we do not engage in these kinds of tactics to intimidate, protest, and this sort of thing.

The battle for the heart and soul of the country is wide open, and it’s happening right in front of our eyes, and in this last go round, the American left won.

But, isn’t it interesting…?

Prop 8 is a good example. Isn’t it interesting where a solidly traditional American institution such as marriage is on the ballot, even in a place like California, look what happens. So if you simply have a party or a candidate who is willing to stand up and defend and promote all of these various American traditions and institutions rooted in our founding and rooted basically in conservatism, there is a whole army of Americans who would love to come out and vote and make that happen in landslide proportions. There is a blueprint for it.

But, look, I’m just beating a dead horse here. Our party doesn’t have anybody in it like that right now, or didn’t in this election. We do have those people. It’s just a question of whether or not they bubble up and surface and want to carry on in some sort of a national way.

Well, when executives from the Big Three automakers went before Congress this week, their pleas for $25 billion in bailout money were met with disdain.

In a moment of supreme irony, Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd, who chairs the banking committee, scolded the auto execs, telling them there was no way they couldn’t see the crisis coming.

The auto industry, he said, is

“seeking treatments for wounds” that are “self-inflicted.”

Now, keep in mind: not only is Chris Dodd one of the Democrats responsible for the entire financial meltdown, he personally benefited from sweetheart deals on his own mortgages.

Watching US senators scold the auto industry over what they “should have seen coming” is laughable!

True, automakers are stuck with unsustainable legacy costs: paying massive benefit packages for former union employees who no longer produce, as well as “job banks” that pay union workers almost full salaries for not working — not to mention government mandates that worsen their cost burden.

But look at the “business model” of the US government — Social Security, Medicare, all the Big Government entitlement programs are unsustainable! They pay for people who don’t produce, and we’ve all known what’s coming down the road. But under the illusion of “hope and change,” we’ve been promised a bigger dose of the same: brand new programs using the same failed model, with more powerful unions to boot!

The biggest threat to our economy is not our automakers — but the legacy of liberalism.
