Who are these people?
« on: January 30, 2009, 10:13:50 AM »
Just looked at a CNN poll... Approximately 10% think that Blago should still be governor of Illinois.
 
That, frankly, boggles my mind. Are they hard-core Democrats who would vote for Hitler if he shook hands with Daley? Who are they?

They're the Illinois contingent of the people who made Barack Hussein Obama the new President.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Most likely homebodies that stay glued to the idiot box all day that bought Blago's media tour hook, line, and sinker.  They see him as a victim. 

ETA a picture, for those of you who don't know who we're talking about:

There will always be a portion of the population that believes in any kind of improbable position or solution, no matter how bizarre or patently rediculous.

There is also a portion of the population that believes the sun revolves around the earth, the earth is flat, and the earth is only 6000 years old. 

People sometimes amaze me with their ignorance of reality.  These people probably feel that because he is likable that he could do no wrong.

They're the 10% that Blago gave free goodies to with my money.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

There were 12% of folks that thought GWB was a good president, and look how many welcome Obama with open arms and no healthy skepticism at all.  Not much would surprise me anymore.

I don't know, I've got no use for Blago, but watching the LHC blow up might be cool.
