Here's a poll about Obama supporters.

Be sure to watch the video in the web site ... :shock:



Zogby Poll

512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)

56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).

And yet.....

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

What a crock. But soooo funny to see you Bush lovers twisting in the wind. :D

For one thing several of the questions are not true. The Biden stuff happened years ago. Why would anyone know that? And it's not the reason he dropped out of the presidential race. Same with Obama's first election. Why would anyone outside Chicago know anything about his first successful election run? But all the Palin stuff was recent NATIONAL news.

I'd suggest they'd get the same results if they polled McCain voters. But, hey, Obama won BIG. Only losers have to scramble around and find excuses for losing.

My first reaction was that the numbers didn't mean anything with the small sampling size, but as I watched and saw the purpose of the questions it became quite interesting. They truly showed the effect of the media bias. Anyone who listens to talk radio would have know the answers to all of the questions.

Now, here is where I really scratch my head. How do you change this? How can you get people to make educated desicions? I don't know where to begin. I would like to think we could return America to what it was intended to be without blood being shed. I hope we can turn around this country before it's too late, peacefully. Can we allow our future generations to ask us why we didn't do somethnig while we had the chance?

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us
in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down
and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon
you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
—Samuel Adams

Good luck with that. Look at the Liberals on this board, they had the facts before them. You can't educate those that refuse to be educated.

I don't think anyone called you a racist because you DIDN'T vote for Obama.........
.........you were just called a racist because you seem to be...no matter what the person's name maybe or what they do.

Honestly, I've said it before, I hope all this hatred is just an ac you portray for a group of bored people on a Internet forum chat....and not what you say in real life.

I'd like to think you are better than that.

I think Obama got elected because lots of people hated President Bush and Obama ran with the "promise" to change everything! People in this country dont stand on principles any more. Atleast a lot dont. They have short attention spans and go for catchy phrases and blurbs. They dont research and study who would help THEM the most. They follow the media like sheep and believe what they are fed! And for all you well versed liberals who voted for what ya'll consider the best canidate, good for you! You decided he is the answer and marked your ballot! Hope he follows up on all he said he'd do for you! But i think he is going to make us hope 2012 gets here quick. My 2 cents!

If I could rewrite history, I think it maybe would have been good if Kerry had won the Presidential race four years ago. Then it would have been the Democrats fault that things have gone to heck in a hand basket. Then for this election, the Republicans could have won. :) Much as I disliked Kerry, I would prefer him to Obama.

During Bush's first term, cattle price were pretty good and they haven't been too bad since. Now that Obama is Presidernt-elect, cattle prices have fallen drastically. His plan for "change" :roll: and the promise of much higher taxes have gotten the cattle buyers quite nervous. It will be interesting, to say the least, in seeing how the next few years play out. There will be fortunes lost and fortunes made. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What will be major setbacks for some will be stepping stones to success for others. One thing about it, life will probably still go on even if it is not how we would necessarily like it to be.

Life will go on! Kerry was really scary because he would have destroyed public grazing in the west. Obama may do it for him. But we will find a way to adapt and fight back against nonsense and stupidity. Thanks for the perspective and hope, Soap!

I remember a day not too long ago when all you Rep's claimed that the war and looming recession and the outing of the CIA agent and anything else that came down the pipe, WAS NOT the fault of the leadership of the President ( Bush).


But now, all of a sudden since we changed captains....NOW things ARE blamed on the President ( elect)


It is a true talent to talk out of both sides of your mouth at the same time.....

Higher taxes make it much harder to ranch. The only thing that Obama has promised for sure besides "change" is that taxes will go up. It doesn't take a "rock scientist" to figure out that with higher taxes, operating costs will go up, and demand for beef will go down because the consumers have that much less money to spend. :roll:
