How in the hell so many people in this country not see what’s right in front of their eyes?

I think it’s because of the way it’s explained to them.

You say that the Democrats want to destroy the economy and raise your taxes, and ruin your chances for prosperity. They don’t think there’s any American would like to do that. “No, the Democrats are trying to come up with alternative energy! Democrats want to tax the rich and make it fair!” That’s what they think.

So…

Associated Press: “A new poll shows high gasoline prices have dramatically changed Americans’ views on energy and the environment. More people now say expanding oil drilling and building new power plants is a bigger priority than energy conservation.

The poll by the Pew Research Center shows nearly half of those surveyed — or 47 percent — now rate energy exploration, drilling and building new power plants more important, compared with 35 percent in February.”

Now, we read this and we say, “If this is true, then how does Obama even have a chance?” They’re opposed to drilling, and everybody knows it. They are saying so! They are opposed to new refineries. They are opposed to exploration. They want to protect the stupid grouse. So you tell me: if this poll’s accurate, then how in hell does Obama even stand a chance? How do the Democrats stand a chance?

How in the world can you have this poll and another one that will come out shortly (mark my words) which will suggest that more Americans trust Obama to deal with the energy crisis than McCain?
