Hi Pink,
Well heck, since you're a communist and I see you are good buds with brother Castro, why don't you go down to Cuba and enjoy the good Cuban life?
Castro would embrace a fellow communist and you could live in social bliss for a few years. Castro would probably slip you a few extra pasos every
month so you could live above the poverty level that the rest of his citizens are forced to suffer! Why spend your life in mizery up here in relative
political freedom thanks to Bush, Reagan, Eisenhower, Teddy Rosevelt, Abraham Lincoln and other Conservatives? Just wondering..
1) I have family here. This is where my life is. Plus the U.S. has made that illegal. Michael Moore went down to Cuba with some 9/11 rescue workers
for his "Sicko" movie and the U.S. government went #ing nuts. The YCL has been down there lots of time and always have had a positive experience.
2) LOL at George Bush being involved in political freedom. Wow now that's full of #. George Bush has taken away more freedom than anyone can
imagine. Oh and Abraham Lincoln took away heabus corpes and also made it illegal to criticize him. Yeah that's political freedom. And the U.S.
government has made it illegal for me to even be a member of the Communist Party. Yeah that's political freedom. You're full of #.
Oh and what the # does your post have to do with what I said? Nothing. Conservatives like you are just full of #.

If he was still such a terrorist like Sarah Palin kept claiming why didn't anyone call the FBI? 
I take it you are a Obama supporter.
What is worse than not knowing the answers to candidate positions is ignoring the truth about them.
Do you seriously think that Ayers was not a terrorist?
Here's a riddle: Who said this:
“Guilty as Hell, Free as a Bird, America is Great…” -
Here's a hint: A picture of him standing on the American flag.

Hon there's a difference between voting for Obama and being a supporter. Being a supporter donates time, money, resources to his campaign. I did
not. I am a Communist. My party doesn't run people anymore and hasn't had a presidential candidate since Gus Hall and Angela Davis in the 90s so
now in elections I vote for someone who at least is sane and isn't a rightwing religious freak. Why do you think I give two #s about Bill Ayers? He
isn't running for anything is he? He isn't involved in an Obama administration nor his presidential campaign. Get over it. I thought you
conservatives loved freedom and freedom of speech. You're just all proving what a bunch of hypocritical babies you are. You are so childish it's
pathetic. And you apparently wouldn't know the truth if it hit your dumb ass.

I too, as an Obama supporter, find this insulting. Appalling, actually. I think that you "bad" Conservatives need to get a hold of yourself. He won.
Get over it. Remember all the bad things that we Dems said when Bush got re-elected? You're just doing the same thing. Get over yourself, he won,
he's going to be your president in a few months, and you're going to learn to deal with it. Every time I see another post about how Obama shouldn't
have won, or how horrible a person he is, or how he has demons in his soul, I wonder why it's still happening this late after the election. If this
is how you take out your frustration and anger because your candidate lost, then fine, but it's not going to get you anywhere.

How can you possibly think that over 62 million people who came from different backgrounds, environments, cultures, races, religions genders are all
uneducated?
I never said all Obama voters were uneducated. But the percentage that won the election for him were, to a very large part. I'm sure I could recreate
the very same results as the videos today, because most Obama voters don't know the issues at all.
The people that truly understand the issues voted against Obama. That's why they lost. There are too few people in the US who are truly "educated".
Prove it. Until you do you're just full of #. Sore loser.

An election decided by the masses of ignorant people who are easily influenced by propaganda campaigns are one of the reasons why a direct democracy
was decided against and a representative republic was the choice of those who wrote the Constitution. (they knew human nature even though the concept
of "mass media" was totally unknown at the time) The concept of a pure "Democracy" was feared by those liberal thinkers of the late 1700's which
is why we have never truly had a democracy - here or anywhere else.
The current national election process is too long, requires too much money and the choices are too limited. No matter what, the power elite always
wins; the people always lose.
yeah maybe we can make that part of our 50 hours of slavery,i mean,community service every year(100 HOURS FOR YOU COLLEGE PEOPLE). AND MY MOM,WHO IS
76 JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET AT IT!
senior citizens are included too.
i wonder how many obama supporters would have changed their mind if the msm had really pushed that into the public light every day !?!?!?!?!?!?!
and i do not disagree with educating people who have the right to vote, or silenceing
the msm pundents

discretion at all. People don't do any research or homework anymore..which is also a bunch of crap. This video is a prime example of how MEDIA in
whatever form is very controlling whether democrat, republican, or third party. I would say the same thing if mccain had won and they made a video
about how uneducated republicans are. I guess that is the blessing of our country..."freedom of speech."
That's why I turn it off and read print papers which are now on the internet. I go to a variety of sources inside the country and out. If I'm
watching tv (even the news except local) I'm doing so for entertainment. Third party? When was the last time you saw a third party person on tv?
The last time I did was when Brian Moore (Socialist Party candidate) was on Stephen Colbert and that's cable.

Yeah, he's a moderate alright! 
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the most liberal senator in 2007, according to National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent
presidential candidate shifted further to the left last year in the run-up to the primaries, after ranking as the 16th- and 10th-most-liberal during
his first two years in the Senate.
nj.nationaljournal.com...
And conservative politics works? Look at the last eight years. How's that been for most people in the country? Look at where we are now and
what's going on with economics here. Get real. Neither is a solution. The only true solution is to get rid of capitalism period. Just ask people
in Latin America.
Yeah, sure, let's turn communist or socialist! Just look at Latin America - they're a great success! That's why so many of them end up as illegal
immigrants in our country!
Now I understand your username!
Hon did you follow the elections in 2004? The republicans said John Kerry was the most liberal in the Senate. Now they're saying it's Obama. Not
even Ted Kennedy who is pretty liberal. And yes he is a moderate by his policies. Have you ever even looked at them? Oh and according to your
own citation it says he was 16th and then 10th. Is that the new number one? Are you recreating math? Even if he was number ten the last time I
checked that's NOT number one.
Actually yes. A lot of countries in Latin America are turning socialist and doing pretty well for themselves. They're standing up to the rightwing
conservative death squads like in Colombia and are asking for a better life. Prove your claims that most people come from Latin America. No you
don't know why my username hon. You haven't asked me. It's because I'm short. Little for short as well as Pinky as in your pinky finger. It
would help if you'd ask before you make yourself look like a fool. Not everything in life is about politics hon. Oh and also I wanted to add
you're racist if you think every "illegal" immigrant who comes here is from Latin America. Plus that's a moron thing to say.

Thought #1- Why do the majority of Conservatives who think that they know everything use poor grammar. I think that this means you are the uneducated
ones. You should also learn to spell Barack and opportunity correctly... I mean, even my laptop has an automatic spell check.
Thought #2- Well, I do also consider myself a Communist. However, I don't support what Castro is doing, or what happened with Russia, or what happens
with 100% of Communist countries. I believe in the Communist ideology but I have come to terms with the fact that in reality it can't work because
people are too greedy and some people are too lazy. However, in the fantasy world that I would like to believe is true in my head, a country would be
perfect if everybody had an opportunity, every mouth was fed, nobody was homeless, and we worked with and for one another.
But then again, people suck, and it can never happen. I don't go around waving Communist flags and I'm not an official member of the Young Communist
Associations because they ask for money (ironic... but the money doesn't actually go to help anyone other then themselves) and I don't sing Russian
songs and whatnot.
I think, however, that most Communists did vote for Obama because he wanted to give more to the people and take less from the big guys that have their
oh-so-important jobs that pay for the private jets or the trailers or the guys who want their rifles by their side and the Christians that think it's
okay to press their beliefs about marriage, sex, etc (homosexuality, abortion, abstinence only education) onto others.
I really hate you guys who are like that. I really do. You are so closed minded and horrible and I wish you would realize the key- you're not helping
anybody but yourself.

I don't even know the point of this drill. Since it was one-sided, I can only guess it's sour-grapes by those who made it.
Right. Most people wouldn't have a clue who Barney Frank is. I've seen video's where people don't know when 9/11 happened! Some Canadian show
came here and asked people different question's. On 9/11 I mean the actual day. Some said like February or something. Oh brother! Now THAT would be
messed up but not knowing Barney Frank and similar question's isn't.

Here's a thought- IF the majority of people who voted for Obama were uneducated, is that because they're dumb? These dumb high school drop outs who
couldn't understand how to capitalize and complete equations, clearly, they shouldn't be able to vote because they don't know anything?
Oh, wait. MAYBE...
These people grew up in an underprivileged society and were not given the same chance as you and I. People who just can't climb the social ladder for
whatever reason. People who can't go to school because they need to feed their families and pay rent. Maybe they didn't vote for him because they
were uneducated and didn't know better...
Maybe they realized that in their own personal situations, Obama would be the one to help them get that food on the table and their rent paid.
I think that's the case and I think that is a very very very valid reason to vote for a candidate.

just accept anything because we have become jellyfish.
You do have a choice however. It's not much of one because other people aren't given hardly the chance but it's there. You can also choose to vote
third party if you want. Nobody is forcing you to vote one way or the other or even at all.

The poll is NOT stupid.
Obama's 8 million vote majority margin is where this poll comes into play.
Among the millions of Obama voters, I can readily agree that if not for the morons who certainly comprise that 8 million figure....McCain would be
taking the oath on January 20th, and not Barack Obama.
And if you don't think the TYPICAL Obama voter is uneducated and not politically savvy, then somebody may have to include more into that 8 million
voter group.

You know, my boyfriend lives in Maryland, and he's not like you...
I think you're a moron. So moron is a very flexible term and can be used to tag anyone. Maybe all the McCain supporters were morons.
Just because your candidate lost does not mean that everybody who voted for him is a moron. So are you calling me a moron?
I think education has NOTHING to do with it because, you know what, both my parents voted for Obama and my father has a PhD from Princeton and my
mother has a Masters from Colombia and it doesn't even matter. Because what does matter is not being educated, it means being able to feed your
family and survive.
You can't be politically savvy if you don't have access to the internet or television or a newspaper subscription because you need to spend that
money on FOOD.
If you think that out of the 8 million, most of them are just ignorant and stupid and don't have to struggle just to live and pay for food and
housing, then you're completely nuts.

Wow you're a communist too? Nice to see I'm not a lone here. Yes some things Fidel does aren't so great like not having the opportunity for
average people to have computers and phones. That's kinda silly. Even though I can understand it I wouldn't go that route. I think Raul is going
to do a better job. One of the first things he did as new president (he was Fidel's VP) was to over turn that law.
And yes one of my pet peeves is whenever people find out you're communist they always ask why do you like Stalin and things like that. Stalin also
tortured fellow comrades who challenged him and said when he was wrong in doing something. They were the first he imprisoned and tortured. Even in
Cuba communist's challenge each other all the time in elections and whatnot. Some of Castro's harshest critics are people in Cuba who are
supportive of him. And yes I voted for Obama because he was the least insane and he would do a better job. There's so many issues to vote on this
election whether with the Constitution, jobs and economy, education, foreign issues. One issue voters are annoying to me no matter what side of the
isle you're on.

Haha, um. Yes, I'm a Communist. Not a Castroist or Stalinist. Because my idea of Communism has never actually worked or been put into action because
it's impossible. It's really just a philosophy. I'm aware that it can never work in real life, and being a Communist is more like a religion than
anything else. Obama could do the most for the majority of the population, and that's what matters. That's as close as we can get. The right way to
Communism is to approach it from a different direction than having a dictator and whatnot. It's never going to happen though, I don't get my hopes
up. I take it a day at a time and if there's something that can be done to make the country more even in terms of opportunity, then awesome.
