Is it just me or does it seem like more educated voters support candidates other then the leading candidates?

Question

The more people I talk to the more I am convinced that the top tear candidates attract more brainwashed monkeys then people of sense. This is not to say that there are not very well educated people who support Hillary, Giuliani and Obama. I am just pointing out with there name recognition and media propaganda they receive support from all the Americans that are not interested enough to look into it further themselves and those who are not capable of looking into it further.

How Liberals and Conservatives Think
http://reiras.vodpod.com/video/113503-george-lakoff-on-moral-politics-how-liberals-and-conservatives-think

Answer 1

The media have anointed Clinton, Obama, Giuliani and Romney to be the main contenders in this election. Occasionally, they talk about Edwards or Huckabee or McCain but mainly they stick to their favorites.

Intelligent people, on the other hand, will research the candidates and will choose the one that best fits their philosophy, and for the most part it seems that they are choosing the so-called second tier candidates.

Answer 2

You are correct. Several things have bought about an awaking in the American people. First it you remember the last couple of years there has been an onslaught against "conservative" talk shows and they weathered the storm. The most crushing blow to that group was the fact that the leader of the United States senate took information from a blog and took up time on the senate floor and of senators t sign a petition against Rush Limbaugh, stating he called our troops bogus, when in actually Rush was relating stories of people making claims they they were soldiers and they they were decorated or did something that didn't. Harry reed crushed that movement.

next when President Bush got n the coke box again about 'illegal' immigration the people still remembered the war stuff and much more, especially that he is writing checks for more programs than any democrat ever did and it would make even the most liberal democrats blush.

Add to that they the current administration and the democrats still think anyone that comes to America and becomes a legal resident does not have a brain. Fact is they don't flood to the democrats as liberals. The fence deal is very important and Washington doesn't have a clue as to how many people are affected by the drugs and crime. The illegals, regardless if they are from this hemisphere or another go t were they blend in and commit more crimes. People are sick of having to defend themselves against something that any monekey could see. So the people have spoken even in lib New York, which may not be that liberal.

This means that all polls I have seen and heard dealing with this subject show 72% are against it. now the people as Nixon said can be fooled some of the time..... and they see no reason to throw a monkey another 'nan nan to eat and throw the peel on the floor.

To add injury to insult rep. Hunter of California must have connects as he was able to build a 15 mile fence and it cut crime nd illegals by 90%, wouldn't that be best for the country and let it heal. As far as people not in the area, most have friends or family and the rime is spreading out.

So people are using their heads and not going to be fooled by any of the party stuff, although there are jobs, money and stuff like tht to buy votes.
No we have had enough of a two party system thta does not work. Cas in point why are the ones at the bottom of the polls; they have the most experience. As far as jr. senators and I will not mention her name, but how could a jr. senator have over $450,000 coming in from lobbyist (at top), when most senators that are there for 20 years have no where near that. Look at the bribe money in both parties.

Answer 3

McCain in a lot of eyes would were courtmartialled as a traitor. In go back for better useful remedy and accomodation McCain: a million. Gave coaching to the North Vietnamese which placed his military bretheran in chance 2. Gave interviews praising the North Vietnamese on overseas places and Vietnamese radio stations. Why do you imagine of that the U. S. authorities refused to allow the son of the score admiral be repatriated to Saigon by using very reality the Vietcong presented to do on 5 separate activities? by using very reality they knew they gained't courtmartial him and so determined he could stay imprisoned for thus long as obtainable. McCain had to get out of the military and did so the second one he married Cindy Hensley, the mob princess with the great liquor distributor fortune contained in the decrease back of her.

Answer 4

There does seem to be some standard candidate mantra's around. Many I find for young minds who chant Hillary '08. As if we were at a feminist rally, not a Presidential race. Gender card only. Research limited to fast food reality TV news of other Media Matters. In my opinion, yes. Harsh terms but a barrel full of 'um.
Thanks.

Answer 5

No, it's not just you. Educated voters do due research on the candidates. The current leading candidates (according to MSM), especially in the Democrat Party, possess supposedly impressive credentials, whether acquired by gift or honestly earned. However, the possession of impressive credentials do not automatically place one in the oval ofice. Specifically in the case of Baracka Hussein Obama,Jr., his profile is definitely one of a polly parrot, always copying the ideas and brainwork of Clinton, Edwards, Richardson, and Biden, and claiming same to be his own. Hussein Obamas' acts and rhetoric contradict the expectations of one holding such credentials. Any candidate for the presidency should have sufficient common sense to know that every U.S. citizen should be loyal to flag and country. However, Hussein Obama refused to honor flag and country by not placing his hand over his heart when the national anthem was being played, but Hillary Clinton and others on the same stage did pay respect to our flag by the gesture of placing their hands over their hearts. Moreover, in another stupid incident, Hussein refused to wear the American flag lapel pin, again showing disloyalty to our country.Hussein Obama will not disclose to the public all the information about his religious beliefs, and mort recently, his failure to disclose information re an illegal real estate deal with the wife of Tony Rezko, a Chicago real estate developer, currently under indictment. Further, Hussein Obama claims he does not have any records when he was in the Illinois state legislature, and doesn't have a clue where they might have gone! Conversely, Hillary and the other candidates have no problem supplying records of their past.

Answer 6

Brainwashed monkeys might be a little harsh, but there are plenty of people who chant the party mantra over and over, with no really substantive grasp of the issues. Just my opinion....

Answer 7

Brainwashed monkeys is actually very accurate assumption.

Answer 8

I think it is just you. The vast majority of intelligent people in this country are supporting Rudy Giuliani for president. Out of all the candidates, Rudy would by far, make the best president!

Answer 9

it's just you...don't feel bad though it IS a long campaign and some pretenders are bound to sneak in
