1. 35% of Americans fall into four categories:
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 12:20 PM by Warpy
The greedy, people who are making a middle class income and who actually got tax cuts and want more of them, to hell with everybody else, or

The corrupt, people who are members of the Federalist Society or who are pastors of wingnut churches getting fat faith based tax dollars, or military contractors who are tithing taxpayer dollars via DOD contracts right back to the RNC, or.....well, you get the picture, or

The truly stupid, people who are disconnected from all news except celebrity gossip, fashion trends, and sports scores but who give the blivet a favorable rating as a way of patting themselves on the back for remembering the name, or

The delusional, the fundy church true believers who populate campaign rallies with their arms waving in the air and who have confused blivet, Rice and Cheney as the Holy Trinity.

It's easy to see where that 35% come from. Our ability to reach each group is in the order I have listed them.

7. Right on target! Such a shame that one third of the US population
are completely brain-dead idiots.

5. Only 35% of workers get "above average" pay.
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 12:20 PM by TahitiNut
No, Virginia, it's not 50%. That would be 'median pay.' Nearly 65% of all workers earn less than average.

Even worse, the "bottom 65%" are paid less than 27% of all wages paid.

6. other 35% are brainwashed by RW and MSM "news" sources
If all one watched was Faux, ABC, or the other "mainstream" (and I mean that loosely) propaganda news sources or listened to Rushbloat and the other idiots on radio, it might be really hard to believe that W wasn't doing a "godlike" job and was only being limited by those awfull "democrat" people. Not saying that doesn't make them idiots, but there is a reason why propaganda is an old and effective tool. Change those things and the 35% goes down to 10-15% who are true Nazi's......
