Smart Democrats consistently try to understand Ignorant / Brainwashed Republicans
I appreciate your thread because I too cannot understand this being a close race.. who on God's earth actually voted for that heinous excuse for a man, Romney
but having grown up in Georgia, home of the bible belt, I gained a new appreciation for the ways Religion brainwashes people.. I'm pretty sure if you overlaid the 'religious filter' on Romney voters, you'll find that more than 90% of his voters are what we would call 'extremely religious'
I learned you can't reason with crazy. Because that brainwashing is truly making those poor people crazy.
If we do anything in this country we should stop all government subsidies to Churches, and start to intervene on a culture tha tallows churches, especially in Rural areas, to brainwash our neighbors to their own personal harm.
I think there is so much more to the story of the crying romney supporters but facts are not something they consider.

Ms Jackson is a very strange person. She comes from the planet Kolab. Not a nice person.

Well I have to say I don't watch SNL much and I don't remember her. She really is a wacko

Well maybe she fell on her head when doing the hand stand. Bless her little heart.

Have you ever noticed how comedians on the right aren't as funny as the ones on the left.

I still like Foxworthy. He isn't mean spirited so I will watch him. But I never like Miller even
