    Yes and my life has been thoroughly effected by it. That's sarcasm in case you can't figure that out.

    And yet liberarls like yourself are stupider than people like me.

    http://reason.com/archives/2014/06/13/are-conservatives-dumber-than-liberals

    Comparing strong Republicans with strong Democrats, Carl finds that Republicans have a 5.48 IQ point advantage over Democrats. Broadening party affiliation to include moderate to merely leaning respondents still results in a Republican advantage of 3.47 IQ points and 2.47 IQ points respectively. Carl reconciles his findings with the social science literature that reports that liberals are more intelligent than conservatives by proposing that Americans with classically liberal beliefs are even smarter. Carl further reports that those who endorse both social conservatism and economic statism also have lower verbal IQ scores.

    In other words socially conservative people are the dumbest (no surprise there) then comes the liberals who are slightly smarter but the smartest of the lot are the classical liberals ie Libertarians and fiscal conservatives. There are enough classical liberals (not to be confused with just liberals who are statists) in the GOP that they push Republicans in general ahead of Democrats overall.

    Then of course there is the strong correlation between income and voting patterns. The more income you make (people that are smarter tend to make more money) the more likely you are to vote Republican. But don't let any facts or logic get in the way of your childish, asinine, moronic, idiotic, infantile, warped and partisan view of reality. Clearly people like you helped drag the IQ score of Democrats even lower.

    Regarding a 2010 study Kemmelmeier who found the same thing.

    "Surprisingly," he continued, this was not true of students with anti-regulation attitudes. With them, "all else being equal, more conservative respondents scored higher than more liberal respondents." Kemmelmeier ruefully notes that "this result was not anticipated" and "diametrically contradicts" the hypothesis that conservatism is linked to lower cognitive ability. Kemmelmeier is so evidently lost in the intellectual fog of contemporary progressivism that he does not realize that his questionnaire is impeccably designed to identify classical liberals, a.k.a. libertarians, who endorse liberty in both the social and economic realms.

    You are correct. But once again, you did not address that there is no law forcing you to buy the products they offer, that sir was a Lie.

    Answer the question. I'm tired of the but the republicans did it too.
    Did Obama raise taxes on the middle class through payroll taxes and ACA tax. Are the middle class paying higher payroll taxes? Yes or no?
    Now to the point. Are y'all educating the left wing voter base about the left wing taxes on the middle class?
    Are y'all educating them on the left wings attack on SS through ACA? I bet not. Now who are keeping their base dumbed down?

    The penalty for the first year without insurance is a 300 dollar fine. The next year it goes up another $300. And from their it just goes up and up. Tell me how that isn't being forced to buy something whether you want it or not.

    Maybe everyone else does not want to foot your bill if you get hurt or get a major illness and cannot pay your bill, so pay up. Now if you are so wealthy that you do not need health insurance to cover the costs you have no problem, it would only prove you do not know how to spend your money efficiently.

    You said what is the penalty if you do not buy their product, that does not mean you have to buy their product you simply have to buy a product. Got ya.

    Yes, I am tired of both Parties being owned by Billionaires.
    Nope, my taxes are right where they were.
    I have no idea what you are rambling on about there so hence cannot actually reply to it.

    That isn't the point of it. The government shouldn't have any ability to force its citizens to purchase any product. But feel free to pretend that this is about healthcare instead of government overstepping its responsibilities. They've done it once now, what's to stop them from doing it again?

    - - - Updated - - -

    And why should anyone be forced to pay for something that they may not want?

    So, either the DNC has kept you in the dark, or you ignore the facts that do not support the lie like a good little DNC soldier. You remember the whole, "if you like your insurance, you can keep it" thing. People had insurance plans that they liked, but they did not meet ACA's requirements to cover things that the individual doesn't need. You know, things like making my 75 year old mother pay for coverage of abortions or contraceptives. If my mother refuses to purchase a plan that covers those items, she will be fined. So, yes there is a law that does just that.

    Now we are on to something. I actually agree on that point. I was all for offering affordable insurance to citizens I was against it when Hillary first stated that was her stand on it and IMO Obama lied because I recall him saying he was not going to make it mandatory. That said I do not believe ACA is sustainable in the long run and since the repubs do not seem to have a viable answer for it I believe that we will have to follow the path of the rest of the advanced Nations and have a single-payer system, and I believe that will occur in the next 5 or so years at most.

    That did not address what I was saying and the context it was said in, read slower next time, start with the post I replied to and pay close attention to what they said then look at the replies. Details are everything. Psst, not a Democrat.

    Her post was about keeping voters uninformed.
    I'm asking if the left wing ponytailed nuts are telling their voters about their true nature.
    Such as allowing Wall Street and the banks to steal billions and doing nothing or best to nothing.
    I bet not.
    How is the left wing education of voters going when it comes to Obama and lobbyist like Monsanto and allowing them to single handily control the FDA. The organization that is charge of ruling on Monsanto itself.
    I bet not well. I bet most of the left wing voters don't even know about lobbyist and Obama's of the books visits.

    The same can be said about both Party faithful, why do you think the Repubs here are totally against removing Party designations from behind candidates names, don't Repubs know who they are going to vote for? Sorry but Both Parties are a mess and the only reason either is in power is that they have brainwashed enough sheep to go into the voting booth and vote straight ticket, be it Dem or Repub.

    Complaining about Obama has little bearing on the Republican campaign to keep Americans stupid. I will agree that the Dems are also complicit in this campaign, and we can argue over who does it more, but this does not change the fact that the campaign is real.

    Quit voting for "stupid". Voting independent is the only hope for change. I can not guarantee that if everyone starts voting independent things will change for the better.

    I can however guarantee that if folks keep voting only Red or Blue that things will not change. (I am talking root cause changes here and not superfluous stuff)

    The Repubs were almost militant in thier hatred of people getting that free healthcare. The only way to force eveyone to pay at least something for healthcare is to have a mandate everyone has some form of insurace that actually pays for healthcare. Then suddenly free healtcare was freedum itself. If everyone is not forced to have some sort of coverage I am forced to pay for their healthcare everytime I pay for my own. Tell me how that is not forcing me to buy something I dont want.

    It isn't just about healthcare. What is to prevent them from forcing you to pay for anything else they decide in the future? Say what you want but I prefer freedom.
