"Honest, I've Searched and Searched and Searched, but Nothing Will Ever Top this Tea Party Sign"..

55. Stupid is as stupid does

Actually, the Fox/Limbaugh 24/7 propaganda machine is very, very effective and preys on those less informed.

Case in point: I saw a custodian who had worked in my building back in 2004 and was always telling me how much John Kerry hated veterans and how Kerry was un-American. Attempts to engage and discuss were met with derision. He was a vet and he KNEW. Despite our political differences, he was someone I really liked, so when we were each assigned elsewhere I missed seeing him.

I ran into him a few months ago. He and his wife really want to retire, but need to wait a few years longer when they will both qualify for Social Security benefits. Sadly, he couldn't leave it there. He concluded by saying, "That is unless Obamacare ruins it for all of us."

Huh? I just left it alone. I walked away sad. He will continue to vote for the very people who will happily strip away his pension and his Social Security and leave him and his wife old, poor, and afraid. Phooey on the right wing and their efforts to make sure people are poorly informed.
