Bill Mahar comment
"Every election, roughly half the population votes Democrat, the other half votes Republican. I understand why Republicans get 1% of the vote . . . the richest 1%. That other 49% (of Americans) someone will just have to explain to me. The facts about what the Republicans have done to the Middle Class are beyond reasonable doubt. And yet their base refuses to see it. The moneyed elite of America are dragging a bag filled with your future down the steps and your reaction is, "Hold on there, that looks heavy, let me give you a hand getting that into your trunk." Bill Maher
Bill proves he doesn't have a ****ing clue as to what is normal in this country. Oh, we [teh right] get why the other half votes Democrat. You give them shit. You vote twice. You lie about what they are voting for.

5. It's hard to believe that
middle-class Republicans don't see it - I guess that "trickle-down economics" still rings true with them, even if nothing has trickled down for years!
Bad mole.

9. Misdirection
I think what keeps some middle class people voting for the Republican Party is misdirection. The Republicans have convinced some middle class people that the real problem is poor black and brown people and the government. These members of the middle class have been convinced that if they could just get all those poor black and brown people off welfare and food stamps things would be better for those in the middle class. In addition, they have been convinced that if government would just get off everybody's back and get out of everybody's life the lives of people in this country would be better.
Not once have I heard the right say, "If we can just get those ******s and spicks out of the way AND government off our back, everything will be ok. However, I hear the left always call out the "Uncle Toms" on the right...

Bill Maher is to stupidity as Albert Einstein is to genius.

Let me explain a little something to to DUmbasses.
Life is about so much more then money and things.
There is pride of accomplishment and desire for freedom,you know,those things that made this the greatest country in the world.
The reason you will never understand why an "average" person is a conservative is because you desire failure,it is your life and goal.
You vote for those that promise to reward your failure but that is simply not possible so you will always be pathetic,mewling fools waiting for a handout while those you have trusted are sneering at you,pocketing the wealth you obsess over and laughing at your stupidity.

And you have been convinced by your masters that you need the government to hold your hands and control your lives.
