   We vote according to the heart instead of the mind. Our emotions allow us to rationalize our decisions, not examine the data and make a decision based on the facts. I know a number of Republicans who absolutely hated everything Bush and company did, but would never ever vote differently. Don’t know any, but I am sure there are Dems the same way.

   We need more education and teaching students learning how to be rational.

   That question comes to any sensible mind when creatures such as the Obamanation, the witch Pelosi, and the vile Reid are elected. But that is the problem with politics, no one really worth anything wants the job.

   That’s not all we need. You must also have a decent candidate to vote for. Being rational does no good if EVERY candidate stinks.

   i think we want to believe in our hearts that we are following the right person. this explains how we voted in 2004. we knew the folks elected in 2000 were thoroughly corrupt, but we were led to believe that we should follow them again for a second term. we’re a boneheaded lot.

   In 2004 people did not vote for whom they thought was the right person. They wanted to prove to themselves they were not racists, even though this was the most dangerous candidate to elect. If only they would have felt that way and voted for Herman Cain or Alan West.

   Voting for him a second time just proves people are idiots. And the resulting slide down the slope to Socialism and a Police State are the results.

   Idiots.

   Anyone wanting the control can’t be all good, maybe less.

   Blame the Plutocrats and their shadow Plutocracy for the lousy choices. They are the ones that decide who gets to run and one of theirs wins. Not any of my choices get a chance.

   Look at their only other allowed choice. A rich boy who couldn’t even fake being a “man of the people.”

    You should see the blogosphere the last couple days. All of a sudden mass murder and random shootings make a lunatic a hero. All depends on whose ox is gored, I guess (no pun intended).

    “People knew Al Gore was throughly corrupt, which is how he lost his home state of TN.”

    - No, that says more about TN than Vice President Gore.

    “He’s also proven it by his sale of his network to people he agrees with (his words not mine).”

    - They agree with him that Climate Change is a threat that must be covered; Al Jazeera still has be best Climate Change coverage of any news organization of similar size in the world.
