Watching this makes me feel sorry for Joe Biden. Joe who?

I wish people of multiple economic and ethnic backgrounds had been interviewed. I bet the results would be the same.

I fear that many people can only think on an iconic level. They vote for names and images, not ideas. They know more about celebrities and sports teams than their rulers.

Such ignorance is a luxury only possible under a benevolent government. In a totalitarian state, the whim of the leader determines life or death. Is Big Brother for or against Eurasia today? One had better know ... or else. Comply or die.

Amritas, I think you mean Tom Bidden.(wink)

I really enjoyed this, and was gleeful, but would venture to say that these were soundbites from about 15 interviews they did, where perhaps only these 3 gave such responses, and the other 12 were perhaps a little bug-eyed and said not such nice things to the interviewer.

Lols...I especially loved the support that Palin got from them...that was sweet!

I would also venture to say that there are many who aren't voting for Obama merely because he is black...and I am not talking about Republicans...I think there are a few Dems who fit that bill:

Far more telling to me was when Penn and Teller's people got those 400+ signatures at the enviromentalist rally in Washington in support of banning water. That was truely pack ignorance mentality.

CaliValleyGirl,

I agree that the Obama-Palin supporters were probably cherry-picked out of a larger sample.

If one looked around, one might find McCain supporters in favor of cutting taxes for 95% of working families and VP Joe Biden.

That YouTube clip is depressing and disgusting. Sadly, there are probably McCain voters who "think" like that.

H2O must go? Sign me up! :)

WOW.
