"and to be an American citizen you have to read on a 9th grad level???"Ummm.... I think there are a fair number of native born Americans who can't read at that level.People more comfortable reading Spanish =/= Illegals
@ ZenMojoSources, please. I know I personally have received more than 3 calls in the last 2 weeks from the Dem party. Am I the only one they are calling? Just my luck... :-|
"Probably 1 in 100 voters actually go the polls educated.The other 99 base their vote off of TV, Radio, Internet, etc."I sense some pointless elitism in that sentence, what's being educated ? do you believe than 99% of people are stupider than you and don't interpret news, just gobble it up ? even a hamster nows that news sources are not to be absolutely believed.Or maybe yo think that people aren't clever enough to make educated politic choices (oh, wait, that's exactly what you said), and that Bush is not really there because of incocent, good, stupid americans ("don't diss the americans, diss bush" is a real moto everywhere, and it's bulls**t). Well, a lot of people beg to differ. The capacity of the public to get the core of a politic is very effective, and you can't separate Bsuh form the americans. There's a south park ep on that point, so I know I'm not aloine to think that.The public IS educated enough to decifer the 2/3 very important point of a politic, like why it was important to wage war against Irak, even if it turns out less than perfect, but still good enough given the real point, oil prices. Not a Bush problem, an american problem.

@ p0s3r - Did you really say "fascist progressives"? Do you not realize that those are opposites?
