Would ‘Middle America’ recognise common sense if it came up and slapped them in the face?

Tokolosh asked:


Looking at what is going on in the US at the moment, that’s highly dubious.

Everybody contributed to the mess at present, yes, even you, and now, instead of seeking solutions, all and sundry is on his/her little soapbox pointing a finger. Some are even suggesting violence.

The US owes billions (and both Bush and Obama are guilty here) but, don’t you dare raise my taxes! Go and borrow from China! Our grandchildren can worry about the debt, not ME!
WTF?
Some answers here just prove my point. pretty smug and stupid. We WANT Obama to fail, never mind the cost. THEY must fail!

And if it makes some of you happy, ‘kazillions’, okay?

    Where were you when Bush Palin were getting slammed. Now that it is BO’s turn people are pissed….
    I wish people like you would pick a date where BO’s problems cannot be blamed on Bush.

    We’re getting weaker as a nation by the day. Imagine our Grandparents who went through the Great Depression, seeing the way we act as a nation now.

    Tokolosh. Sounds a lot like Talk-a-lot. You like to do that, don’t you? :-D

    Middle Americans are true Americans. Liberals are anti=Americans,.

    Uh, you don’t think all this f’ing debt will be passed on to our kids and grandkids? What happens when this health care plan starts costing a LOT more than they thought? Especially since it promises free health care to anyone, citizen or not.

    Stop spreading the crap the left is whispering in your ear. It makes you look less than intelligent.

    It’s very scary here right now…

    I think middle America is just fine.
    The rest of your statement does make sense to me as well.

    They are the cowards of America.

    The Americans that voted for monkey man are the ones who haven’t been forced to live with monkeys or affirmative action(ed) into working with them. The other ones that voted for him are black and/or dead or non-existent.

    Repatriate all of them.

    Here is some common sense for you;

    How about cutting spending!! Brilliant I know.

    You want to pay more taxes? You must not have children.

  • debt solutions

    Liberals refuse to see common sense.

    Not as long as they’re drinking that Kool-aid.

    No, Middle America is not stupid. They are actively being manipulate and lied to.

    When you see those town halls with grey haired people who are scared about health care reform remember one thing:

    We all (those of us with grey hair) grew up with the fairness doctrine. We do not think it possible that the likes of Limbaugh and Beck would be allowed to blatantly lie about what is proposed. We grew up with news being Walter Cronkite, who reported, not pontificated. We expect news to contain facts, not be entertainment.

    We can’t believe that when elected public figures like Palin stand up and talk about death boards, and euthanasia that they can be lying. Sure everyone knows politicians can be corrupt, but the wholesale lying we are seeing now is not something most of us expect or even believe can be possible.

    The problem is not middle america, the problem is a corrupt right wing that has learned how easy it is to scare average people with lies, and how they can get them to vote against their own best interests by using fear.

    I recognize that you do not know how to spell recognize. Your grammar needs work.

    I am an American citizen. I love my country. If you are not happy about something, try explaining it clearly.

    Tokolosh!!!
    My very interesting and verrrryyyy intelligent answers contact (contrary to the sweeping proclamations made here by those who do not know a thing about you) that is an EXCELLENT POINT. The nincompoops who accused you of a willingness to hand over our debt to our kids/grand kids need to read your question. Some people are so quick to lash out that they miss the point entirely.
    It’s scary to witness the news vids of the mob mentality infecting so many who appear at these town hall meetings supposedly for the purpose of exercising free speech. What happened to intelligent discourse? What’s to be gained from screaming and shoving, ultimately driving congress-people and state reps, etc. from the podium. It’s as if the moral majority (read: right-wing extremists) is so furious at the election of Barack Obama that they’re getting rabid.
    Stephen Gibbs has repeatedly said in his regular press conferences that the President will keep his word regarding taxes for the middle-income sector. Give the guy a chance. Shut up and listen already!

    edit: don’t ya love it when the respondents correct the questioner’s grammar and/or spelling? Makes it appear that they can’t come up with a thoughtful response, so instead vent their general anger with heaven-knows-what upon the asker!
    WTF does spelling/grammar have to do with your question?
    Geeezzz….
