What does this tell us?

Americans Now Split On Whether Obama Is A Better President Than Bush.

http://www.mediaite.com/online/that-...res-than-bush/

This tells us two things. The GOP tatic of party above country works for the party (in spite of the terrible harm it does the county)

and

The average American is a moron, unable or unwilling to think independently and consumed in their petty prejudices.

It depends what side of the aisle you're on.

So, because most Americans don't happen to agree with Obama's policies, they're morons?

No. Because they allow themselves to be lead and support policies that are against their own good. Same problem exists on the left as far as morons go, the difference is that they are not shoot themselves in the foot by voting dem as the GOP supporters who are middle class do.

Tell me Whell. What benefit is it for you to support a casino on wall street?

You know damn well that most middle class supporters of the GOP wants low taxes for the wealthy so that when they become wealthy through their hard work (the biggest joke of all) then can have every greedy penny to themselves.

LMAO, not part of the party sales plan?

Whell do you disagree that Wall Street is a casino?

What is it you disagree on? This seems ultra obvious.

Do you really believe hard work leads to wealth???? (very naive)

Do you believe tax cuts for the wealthy help the middle class in spite of common sense and past practice results?

Although you answer is quite dismissive it gives no indication as to what you may disagree with. me thinks you have been drinking at the trough of "one day I am gonna be rich" to often.

I don't really know, though I might guess, what you mean by this. Can you clarify?

By your definition, the following individuals must be naive:

Warren Buffet
Steve Jobs
Sergey Brin
Larry Page
Jerry Baldwin
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Reid

I believe that the tax code should treat all individuals equally, not punish individuals for achievement, and motivate individuals to put their capital at risk to create economic growth.

i've heard boss limbaugh sometimes open his show with something like this line-

"THIS IS THE SHOW FOR THE VERY WEALTHIEST PEOPLE IN AMERICA, THE BILLIONAIRES, EVEN THE MILLIONAIRES, THOSE WHO HAVE MADE IT TO THE VERY TOP!

...and those who aspire to do so."

Polls are BS. I hate polls. Even when they indicate what I want to see.

The entire world knows the average American is as you described. And then we turn around and vote for leaders who claim to be "just like us". "Vote for me, 'cuz I'm just a dumb hick from Delaware!".

Thank God everyone here is above average. And I'm even more above average than the rest of you.
