He might have found himself innocent and the media sure trumpets up that he was not named in the complaint, but 45% Americans know a bit about endemic corruption. remarkable, considering the coverage – or lack of it
Forty five percent (45%) of U.S. voters say it is likely President-elect Obama or one of his top campaign aides was involved in the unfolding Blagojevich scandal in Illinois, including 23% who say it is Very Likely.
Actually, the amazing news is that even a good part of the B0bots must think by now there wasn’t a connection
Just 11% say it is not at all likely, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey
Which is probably those Bros before Hos internet sanitizers. 11%. Less than W had freepers.
A lot of political capital, to quote W. Happy spending!

11%? OMG. Worse than I thought.
Where are all the bots? Are they only 11% of the population??

My question exactly.
I always thought W had 29% freepers and eventually his real support could go as high as 33%. Everything else was BS.

……………..
‘Free Speech, What’s that?’ Sanitizers indeed! That is what I find so contradictory about all the ‘CHANGE’, they are willing to give up the most precious of all things that keeps societies FREE…Free Speech and Freedom of Expression.
Thanks for the poll information.

Despite the fact that the Oborg seems to consume roughly 80% of the population, the reality is actually more in line with the taunts they used to throw at PUMAs. We are more than a few hundred disgruntled old women, and they are merely a few thousand well trained agitators. For anyone paying attention during the rise of “that one” you know that trolls used to have conversations with themselves to make it look like PUMA sites were inundated with Obama supporters, but it was really one guy, probably in Palestine or his parent’s basement. Nothing has changed – they just sold it because they have the media at their disposal. Jane and John Doe don’t know jack about the issues, the flip flops, the lies, the associations, etc.
I believe it was Joseph Goebbels who said “The bigger the lie, the easier it is to sell.”

I’m guess his transition team are 23 percenters. They have inside knowledge.

The disheartening part of all this is the sheer stupidity of the American electorate. Granted, they have always been lazy, but this time there is no excuse for not knowing. There was simply too much opportunity to have the information, if you cared. That means they just didn’t care.

Ah the danger…the lies keep getting bigger and bigger! The spin is making everyone dizzy, the bots will only believe what they want to and what they are told.
We need our own media..a FREE paper with the truth….Mmm what can we do to get some of the money ?
It is the money that has poisoned everything. The LOVE of money IS the root of ALL evil!

11%? Eleven percent already stipulate that Mr. Hope, Change, and New Politics is just another political crony, selling us out for a couple bucks and a little advantage. Good grief, people. We could have had, as Bill said, a competent politician who could have delivered some of what we hoped for. Instead, we get the puppet from Chicago and the same confused electorate we had under the Republican hijacking of democracy. Business as usual with hope on sale again in four more years.

The conventional wisdom that BO is popular is like the fantasy belief that he had a large, well-oiled GOTV campaign operation in every state. Some 65% of voters said they were never contacted directly by either candidate — no phone call, canvass visit or even campaign mail (although on this point they may just not remember because it went straight into the recycle bin or trash).
Exactly 2 things decided this election: Money, in which BO had a 5-1 advantage; and MEDIA, in which BO had a 10-1 advantage.
So much for democracy.

I remember the enthusiasm with which Clinton’s inauguration was met. It wasn’t manufactured, it was a national sigh of relief that the Reagan/Bush One years were coming to an end.
The Republicans to whom I’m related and with whom I worked were not too agitated about it and Clinton’s second term was ushered in by a true electoral mandate.
I’m not seeing much enthusiasm or happiness from the Obots with whom I am acquainted. All of this so called “support” is manufactured.
And, those who haven’t drunk from the Kool Aid Chalice are just disgusted. Tough way for teh O to start, couldn’t happen to a more deserving person.
