10. What is bizarre is how THEY think the country is now totally Socialist.

While intelligent people understand nuance and politics, Fox Watchers only understand Douchy and Carlson and O'Reilly. They don't have a freakin' clue.

I guess the question really is, why do we keep voting in these assholes? I have your answer...we've made the "career" of being a politician way too lucrative. Seriously. Do a job search...many of you unemployed people would be better off running for office! You'll only compete against one or two other people. It will take up just as much time, and if you win you'll have a job for life (or until the next election) and full benefits!

A FB friend posted an anti-Obama meme yesterday, something about how Obamacare is a "Socialist" plot. I responded simply with "Obama is a Socialist as much as I am the Pope."

Her entire response was "Just sayin'"

There is no way to discuss serious issues with these people.
