    Nothing to do with liberty, more to do with reality and pragmatism. You can look that word up if you don't know what it means

    All well and good. But I suspect most Independents will vote for Obama. Because it's the <s>right</s> correct thing to do.

  7. Yeah if your objective is to screw the working poor and middle class.


    In general I don't really care about the non-working poor .

    bar patrons, WTF?

    Studies like this bs in the OP can be construed to produce any result you want. I use planet earth as my laboratory, go to the inner cities and there you observe the dumbest government dependent people on earth vote liberal.

  10. But it takes a lot of effort to believe in creationism in the face of all that science stuff.

    Creationism, that is, the idea that God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years

    About 40% of conservatives believe in creationism.
