A Comforting Map

Recommended Posts

Comforting for people not living in the US, perhaps. It's fun to watch us keep sliding into shit.

Forgot to add, if you find comfort in anything HuffPost puts out, you might as well be watching Fox for the useful information it gives.

Fox is where I get all my opinions about how crazy republicans are! Don't take away my stereotype of a right wing American!!

Actually, page 4 of this poll (from last october) is quite surprising....

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections...aire_111018.pdf

Percentage of South Carolinian respondents who identify as Democrats vs percent of likely voting Democrat respondents, vs the same comparison of Republicans/voting Republicans. The next question also shows the similar information for Tea Party supporters.

From my reading of this South Carolina will be a landslide Republican victory, but only because democrats in South Carolina don't vote.

That's entirely my point. Quoting HuffPo or MSNBC will get you about as far as quoting Fox. It's ineffectual to make fun of Fox but quote MSNBC or Huffington.

So I'm going to post a graph off of Fox's website showing Mitt's probability of winning being high, and that's supposed to be comforting for the Right? How? By telling the Right something they already think they know? Congratulations!

Bipartism kinda sucks, do it the Quebec way: 4 parties in the assembly and chaos! We take pride in the fact that our PM is always hated by 70% of the population, no matter what. (I kid, but it's actually not that far from the truth).

That said, Romney kinda did say that 47% of Americans were unable to take care of themselves and that he didn't care much about them. (It's possible that his words were taken out of context, I havn't seen the video myself.)

He is right 47% of Americans can't take care of themselves- But that's the governments fault too for enabling it, and Romney screwed up there- but I don't think either candidate knows what they are actually dealing with.

I am going to put it out there but my generation may be X- I am 30- But the real issue is my generation is also the one responsible for

The "I Don't give a fuck" and "Kill em ALL" mentalities- AKA it has been my American Generation where the Mass murdering in schools started, where we stopped giving a damn about politics- and we did nothing to really stop it,

The worst part is it was my generation that promoted the POP culture Voting revolution- and when i say pop culture i mean POPULAR.

Sad when people vote on who is the more sexy candidate- Thanks OC California and MTV
