I'm currently on an experimental heart medication- and getting paid to participate in the study- so I can't work for awhile [ if i have awhile], and was sitting in the dining area at the supermarket yesterday, resting while i shopped. A "radical" rabid republican that I knew walked in and saw me. He was watching too much fox news [ i could tell, he looked miserable] and sat down to gab. He started babbling about how much he hates Obama and wants to see him defeated. I asked him why he hated Obama. He said "lots of reasons, don't you pay attention to the news?" I said "yeah, but they don't tell me what to think, I do that for myself". I asked him specifically "why he hated Obama". He said "Well, obamacare, for one thing", as he snarled. I asked him what he didn't like about obamacare that made him so angry. He said "lots of things, don't you ever watch the news, don't you pay ANY attention to whats going on"? I asked him what it was about obamacare that made HIM so angry. He couldn't tell me anything about obamacare other than foxnews and the repubs say its bad and needs repealed. Then he said "obama is too soft on iran too". He heard Bachmann and Romney say that on foxnews. I asked him why he felt obama was too soft on iran. He said "because they are working on a nuclear weapon". I said "America, Russia, Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel all have nukes. America gave nukes to Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Turkey. Belarus, Kazakhistan, and Ukraine inherited 6500 nukes from the former USSR. [they claim to have given them all back to russia]. South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, south Korea, Taiwan, and Japan can make nuclear bombs at will, over the weekend". Long story short, he admitted that he just spewed foxnews propaganda, and didn't know why he thought the things he thought. I think all the faux news junkies would benefit from watching CNN. Repub's are brainwashed. It doesn't take much to snap them out of it. I think Obama will ask Hillary to run with him this time. Bill Clinton will probably accept the Secretary of State job. A Gingrich / Paul ticket could give them a run for their money, but that would never happen. I don't see a pair that could beat Obama / Hillary. Bill Clinton says he is ready to get back in the game too. Obama in 2012, Hillary and Bill in 2016. It could be a long time until a Repub takes a crap in the white house again. Maybe 2024.
