Obama voters don't know Obama's policies from McCain's
Sal from the Howard Stern Show goes to Harlem to interview Obama supporters--- but it turns out the Obama supporters don't know Obama's policies from McCain's.
Q- "Do you support Obama's nomination of Sarah Palin as Vice President"?
A- "Yes I do"

RE: Obama voters don't know Obama's policies from McCain's
Reminds me of when my mother worked the polls in Eastern NC during the Primaries. She came home appalled at many of the uneducated Obama supporters. Many of them didn't know anything about any of the other races on the ticket. Many didn't even want to cast a vote in any other races. All they knew, was that they wanted to vote for Obama. Some couldn't even read the ballot, and she had to assist them in checking the correct box. I'm not even sure if thats legal.
Anyways, she came home saying how she weeps for the future of our country.
On the bright side, (I guess), she said there were huge numbers of college students showing up to vote in the Democratic Primary, which is a big departure from the norm.

I don't know if you guys actually listened to the entire link, but the McCain supporter (maybe the only one in Harlem) was also totally ignorant. Speaks to me more about Harlem, but that might be racist.

RE: Obama voters don't know Obama's policies from McCain's
That's a hoot...but...I bet you you could do that on the street almost anywhere on a variety of issues. Being put on the spot like that leads one to not think clearly...It's crazy though that these folks did not catch the candidate VP choices. That was the telling question that proved that they were almost totally uninformed.

RE: Obama voters don't know Obama's policies from McCain's
In Lassiter v. Northhampton Election Board, 360 US 45 (1959) the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of literacy tests.
The Voting Rights Act passed by Congress in 1965 outlawed them.
I think there will be some "second thoughts" on this come early November after all the ACORN homeless people and assorted bozos coming out of the woodwork to vote.
I want to see the Chicago Tribune story about how many comic book characters voted in Cook County (since they now cross reference to death certificates)

RE: Obama voters don't know Obama's policies from McCain's
That was amazing! Those folks were quite ignorant on an important subject. But why does this come as a surprise since Hillary is their senator, Sharpton is located right there in NYC and Harlem is where Billy Clinton has his office??????
On on more serious note, thousands of people have given their lives so others could have the right to vote. The people interviewed here insult their memory.

Not to be annoying..but..in retrospect, those deaths were in vain. It's clear that voting for either a red gang member or blue gang member does not protect you from their violent need to steal from you and control your life and property.

I would disagree. If you got enough voters to vote out the gang banger government then you'd have the change you want.

Does this surprise anyone? Americans, in general, are stupid morons. You should have to pass a test to vote or prove you are paying taxes

Ah..but then..You just put in YOUR group of gang members in power that does the same damn thing!!! What will it take for people to understand that if their ideas are SOOO damn great...it should not take the force of government to have them implemented.
Government is FORCE!!! It is its nature to CONTROL!!! I DONT F'ING WANT TO BE CONTROLLED!!! I am a sovereign individual. I don't consent to this violent group of people called government!
I hate to be annoying and I understand that I'm lone voice here against the violence of the state...It just gets frustrating to not have anyone get the simple logic and principled message of liberty.
Sorry for the rant....I feel better now.
