Chi Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I know when my grandfather's cat would have a litter he would put them in a bag and take 'em down tto the creek and throw them in. He always looked at it as the best solution. It was pretty much SOP among farmers back then. that's horrible.... How about getting the cat fixed?! Quote
Chi Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 There's also another catagory. The bandwagon jumper. They see a new fad, or the new big thing that the tv or the internet tells them is the "in" thing, and they blindly jump on. I personally know several people who have this type of personality. They fall for "fads" all the time and I know they don't educated themselves on the issues and only vote for the new "fad". They voted for Perot because he was the talk of the media, for McCain in 2000 because he was the media darling that year, Bush in 2004 because he had better press than Kerry, and then voted for Obama this past election. Hell, I know of people who were talking of supporting Ron Paul this last year when the media was going wild about the grass roots, internet based surge in support he was getting and then as the media turned to Obama they voted for him. That in itself tells you the person is clueless on politics and economics because Paul and Obama are as opposite as north and south on both politics (both foreign and domestic policy) and economics. I don't fall into this category either. I've liked Obama even when I didn't much care for Democrats, when not that many people knew about him and he was running against Alan Keyes for the Senate seat in my state. I know this will probably be used against me, but I even like Rod Blagojevich and most people hate and turned against him... But I still like him. Regardless of the corruption allegations, he still did a lot for this state, more than others from what I can see. And what they are accussing him of, most other politicians are guilty of, too.

hugo Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 There are two kinds of people who voted for Obama: The biggest majority are those who do not pay any or much taxes at all and they are getting more assistance from the Government than they pay for. This group is primarily looking for "free" goodies from the Government and Obama ran on the promise of massive welfare increases. The second group is people who feel guilty they have what they have. They feel somehow they have not really earned their prosperity and because they feel guilty, obviously everyone else should feel guilty too. The third group were those who found TJ so annoying they voted for Obama just to spite him. 1 Quote The power to do good is also the power to do harm. - Milton Friedman "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." - James Madison
