Mr Gray explains to people who claim they cannot be hypnotized, you are either a psychopath or your IQ is below 70 because all hypnosis is self hypnosis. It's just a matter of pretending.

Therefore, my theory is that you hate indigenous people OR you are a stupid dumbfuck if you vote for McCain/Palin.

2. Exceedingly wealthy would be an affirmative defense, too.
...as long as you intend to stay locked in your gated community while the mobs outside howl for your blood.

5. I'm now for Obama, but those comments do not help win over voters.
Just saying.

10. Greed is another one. People who have no money but think one day they
will be millionaires and so millionaires and big businesses shouldn't have to pay taxes.

15. Just to illustrate that you're wrong:
I know a guy who's voting for McCain who's very bright indeed, and definitely not a racist- calling him such would come as a big surprise to his daughter's boyfriend who happens to be black and happens to live in his house with his girlfriend. People aren't nearly so easily pigeon holed as you seem to thinkl.

17. OMG, I was going to say that to my parents this afternoon
If politics had come up, I was going to say, let's not talk politics. And if they had continued anyway, I was going to say if you're voting for McCain you are either mentally defective or rascist. Wow.

19. Instead of "mentally defective", how about
"stubbornly ignorant" and "totally misinformed"? Instead of "racist", how about "willfully allowing yourself to be manipulated by racist liars"? Greater accuracy might help pinpoint the issues involved! :-)

20. I know some smart people that are skeptical of Obama's economic policies
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 06:21 PM by dmordue
some are concerned he is an empty suit. Some of them know economics much better than I do. I'm of course pro-Obama but its not all good versus evil

and run the Economy into the ground, and your friends are "skeptical" about OBAMA'S economic policies??! The "empty suit" here is the entire Neo-Con Top Down Fascist philosophy.
