How Obama got elected - GGniner - 11-17-2008 10:00 PM
http://howobamagotelected.com/
Zogby Poll
Quote:512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points
97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates
Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions
57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)
88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)
56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).
And yet.....
Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes
Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter
And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!
Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.
Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)
should sell well when the documentary comes out. Low hanging fruit and all.
Thanks Media, some of us won't forget!

WTH does that have to do with the issue at hand? I.e. NOT that he got more votes, but that they came from utter ******* morons.
RE: How Obama got elected - GGniner - 11-17-2008 10:27 PM
after the election, I encountered a lady who is a secretary at a large Fortune 500 company. White, late 40's, wal-mart shopper(as in visits all within driving distance) and apparent democrat from the South. She came into work day after election saying literally "Yes We Can!" over and over.
what got me, she was talking to fellow Obama supporters and all they wanted to talk about was how bad Palin was(to them). She said this femnist line: "The only reason that Palin woman has anything is because of her husband". I'm thinking, WTF at that point obviously. Hillary that would apply to, but Palin?
I started to inform her that prices at Wal-Mart will be going up now, since they are a whipping boy of the Dems and will likely get a Union forced on them now, taxes raised and so forth. but figured it was a lost cause

There is no other issue to worry about...by me anyway...Ive go more important things to do than go over and over this $hit. Its over and I'm moving on. Hey..the GOP only has its self to blame anyway. Next time run a ticket that can win.

Well you guyz are better Fact Finders than me ... I have yet to speak to one single individual that voted for Obama.
I mean I am from a Red State, but you can always find those sordid few that usually fall away from the Purer Faith.
Not this time though ....
I KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS "THE E-JAC-Bi'Raq-ULATE ELECTION" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zogby is further destroying his now limited reputation. What a right-wing tool.
BTW, Palin said you could see Russia from parts of Alaska. Tiny Fey satirized the line to say you could see Russia from her house but it's kind of stupid to combine the two into a misleading question.
I would have gotten the question wrong about Obama's first election. And the coal question is b.s. - purely subjective.

Subjective? So you're saying he didn't say he would put into place policies that would bankrupt the coal industry?
Also, the "See Russia from my house" is just a figure of speech, while you're talking about being subjective.

Why Obama is a messiah, he'd never purposely bankrupt the Coal Industry and make our Electricity rates Skyrocket on purpose. never.

best part of that video is the end, when they are asked where they get their Info.
Govt. schools + MSM = dangerous combo, dumbing down America
RE: How Obama got elected - Fort Bend Owl - 11-18-2008 09:24 AM
Yes subjective. All along he has said he's for clean coal. I don't think that will bankrupt the coal industry anymore than building fuel efficient cars will bankrupt the auto industry. Coal should learn from the auto companies and be proactive rather than reactive and too late.
Code:
United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) International President Cecil E. Roberts issued the following statement:
"Sen. John McCain and his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, have once again demonstrated that they are willing to say anything and do anything to win this election. Their latest twisting of the truth is about coal and some comments Sen. Obama made last January about the future use of coal in America.
Here what the McCain campaign left out of Sen. Obama’s actual words: ‘But this notion of no coal, I think, is an illusion. Because the fact of the matter is, is that right now we are getting a lot of our energy from coal. And China is building a coal-powered plant once a week. So what we have to do then is figure out how can we use coal without emitting greenhouse gases and carbon. And how can we sequester that carbon and capture it.'
Sen. Obama has been consistent with that message not just in the coalfields, but everywhere else he goes as well. Despite what the McCain campaign and some far right-wing blogs would have Americans believe, Sen. Obama has been and remains a tremendous supporter of coal and the future of coal."RE: How Obama got elected - GGniner - 11-18-2008 09:48 AM
ha, Obama specifically says in context he wants to bankrupt the "Coal Industry" and his plan would also "necessarily make our Electricity rates skyrocket". as the industry currently exist, extremely impractical(i.e. Pie in the sky) and very Newsworthy except our MSM didn't think it was all that newsworthy at all.
Quote:"[I]f somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them," and electricity rates will "necessarily skyrocket" -Obama
you can spin it from there however you want(but, but, "clean" coal is good) but the facts are he wants to shut down Coal plants in America as they currently exist and any new plants and make our Electricity rates skyrocket and views this is a good thing. Shocking a union is spinning for a democrat, not.
RE: How Obama got elected - BlazerFan11 - 11-18-2008 09:54 AM
But that's not a fair test! The choices to every question should have been:
A) Hope
B) Change
C) Yes we can!
D) All of the above

OH FREGGIN GEEZE on the Coal Thing !!!!!
What can the "Coal Industry" do to "Make Coal More Clean" for pete's sake ????
They "COULD" take a queue from Leonardo De Vinci and like Turning Lead into Gold, could Instantly Turn Coal into Cartier Diamonds !!!!!!
The stuff is in the ground and was put there by either, God, Allah, or Charles Darwin, (multiple choice no feelings hurt can't fail it pop quiz).
I mean they "Could Wash" it off with some Shampoo before they Ship It Out, but that is about as far as old Joe Coal Miner can go with making Coal Cleaner.
Factories, Furnaces, Power Companies, and those selfish bastards that just shamefully DON'T WANT TOO FREEZE during Winter, who burn coal, are the ones who have to work with the Filtering of the stuff as it burns. And I guess Obama Mama is gonna force coal furnace home owners to install $1 Million Dollar Filters onto their $3 Dollar Home Depot Heater Exhaust Pipe or TAX them to death until they switch to ..... YOU GOT IT FRIENDS ...... PETROLEUM !!!!!!!!!!
Between Obama's desire for $25 a gallon fuel and Coal Taxed at 500% above Retail .... we just gonna be some hungry, freezin' azz MOFO's .... but every one from Russia to Australia just loves Uncle Prez. E-Lect Bi'Raq.
I guess since he is going to pay all of our Home Mortgages like he is gonna pay Ms. Peggy's, we will be able to afford Coal Taxed at 500% and $25 Dollar a Gallon Fuel.
I feel the Gathering Love Already ….. DON'T YOU ????? (not a pop quiz)
OH YEAH, I FORGOT !!!!!! You can see the United States from Alaska TOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You missed the part where they said that the website had commissioned the poll. By saying he's a tool, you're close to the truth, but tool in the sense that Microsoft Word is a too ... Zogby just did what it (he) is paid to do.

So what? GG...damn...Its over. Deal with it. The GOP lost and DESERVED to lose...They fielded a $hitty ticket. Most members of the GOP did not even like McLoser 2 years ago. Then in desperation they bring in this chick...$hit.
Most of the people in this country are ignorant and uninformed...I don't need a frigging poll to know that.

If you're going to be ignorant, could you keep it to yourself? I hear it's contagious.
Clean coal technology goes far beyond filtering exhausts from the flues. It involves carbon sequestration (or capturing CO2 gas after burning coal) and Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC). These were advocated by BOTH candidates, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, and many other leaders. Clean coal technology allows the US to have a sizable portion of the coal market again without the environmental side effects. But, you'd know that if you had spent 60 seconds doing research.
I'll help. Read this: http://science.howstuffworks.com/clean-coal.htm
Just an aside, you can turn coal into diamonds through a lot of pressure, high enough temperatures, and enough time. That high of pressure and temperature change the crystalline structure of the coal into that of a diamond. They are both solely comprised of carbon atoms.

perunapower - - I surely would ask the same thing of you my Super Intelligent, Put-me-in-my-place New Little Buddy .....
My post was 98.999% Dry Humor, with a Flamboyance tilted toward the Dramatic, and a Pinch of Satirical tossed in for that extra flavoring.
You must be one of the Cursed, Super Smart in Book-Wise Only, and have no inherent sense of the multiple uses of the senses of humor in off-color commentary, to-wit; Satire.
I thought Prez. E-Lect Bi'Raq's idea to, as per QUOTE: "Tax the Coal Industry out of Business with a 500% Above Retail Tax" - - to be pretty damm funny and my shot fired back talking about Old Joe Coal Miner Shampooing the Coal before it gets shipped out and Make it Cleaner, to be Damm Well Classically Funny.
You Cerebral Intellectuals are always Fuddy Duddies with such closed off inner spirits.
I am an "Electronics Engineer", I do know a tiny bit about Engineering as it applies to 'Other Technologies' my Studious Lonely Geek-a-Zoid Friend.
Sorry you Book Intellectuals only can function if life is in a Test-tube or a Text Book.

I assure you "my friend", your attempt at flamboyant humor is not lost on me. Though all I see is a pitiful jumble of words and an even more pathetic grasp of the English language. Satire isn't your strong suit; perhaps slapstick comedy is more your forte.
I, frankly, don't care what you do for a living. If I should be impressed by your mighty title of "electronics engineer" or your "mastery" of the abstract art of capitalization and punctuation, consider me unmoved. Just because I find your futile attempt at satire unamusing, does not make me some sort of cerebral intellectual who can only "function if life is in a test-tube or a textbook", as you so eloquently put. Satire is a high level of humor and you, sir, are stuck in Old Joe's mine shaft with a dead canary.
If you would like to spar, my super, verbally-challenged friend, wield your mighty tools of battle, the soldering gun and the breadboard, mighty "electronics engineer", and let us spar. ...Right after I finish my mandatory, life-fulfilling test-tube experiments on creating brains for the less-than-fortunate.
