Comments on: And The Hits Keep Coming … https://whynow.dumka.us/2012/09/18/and-the-hits-keep-coming-4/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:07:42 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2012/09/18/and-the-hits-keep-coming-4/comment-page-1/#comment-60597 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:07:42 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=26971#comment-60597 The Republicans have created this fantasy world based on their ignorance and biases and are trying to force the real world to conform to it. The reality is that poor people in the US don’t vote. To vote you need a permanent address, and many of the poor can’t pass that initial requirement. The people that Romney is casting aside are the Republican base, and he is too ignorant to understand that.

This is what happens when you watch Faux News – studies have shown that people who watch Faux know less about current affairs than people who say they don’t pay any attention to the news. The purpose behind the right-wing media is to reinforce bias, not to inform the audience.

Paid taxes all my life (and paid more than many) but believe Social Security is essential for so many reasons!

Romney’s ’47 Percent’ Rant Reveals a Right Wing Voting Bloc Built on Lies

The dissonance is different for different people. For me, it lay in this: I pay federal taxes. Lots of them. I have every year of my adult life. Moreover, I have never taken a dime of government largesse and am not in any sense dependent on it. And I would never vote for Mitt Romney or the Republicans or their whole every-dog-for-himself philosophy. Nor am I alone. Like millions of other smart Americans, I want a strong and complete social safety net, because I’m smart enough to understand that making sure everyone is cared for appropriately makes the whole of society better for everyone, me included. I might add, for the privileged particularly — even though they’re too stupid and selfish to get that.

Cognitive dissonance… Whenever I hear the sheer stupidity and ignorance of the Republicans, I feel more than mere ‘cognitive dissonance’. These days, my mind just goes ‘TILT! Game over.’ Bizzaro World, indeed.

I think Keith Olbermann had the definitive take on this on a vid he posted here (come back Keith! We miss you!) :'(
