Why are people ignorant???????

Question

Well, in politics. It seems everyone is so ignorant. Their like "John McCain has 7 houses" - actually, his wife is in rel-estate, so it's not unusual that he doesn't know how many houses he has, considering most of them are in his wives name. Plus, when you get married, that doesn't mean a house is in both names - it's still in one name. Did I forget to mention that Obama has a private Island? Yah, okay, McCain's bad.

Why are people just so ignorant. I don't want to offend anyone - but if you look at the voters, the uneducated, poor people vote for Obama - and the harvard grads, rich people vote for McCain. Shouldn't we follow the smart people?

Answer 1

To question guy some of the biggest morons in the world are college educated education does not equal intelligence. I have a degree also so pardon me if I am not impressed.

Ignorance is just another form of laziness in today's world with all the communication and information at our disposal most people are still to lazy to do a little research. The amount of ignorant statements i have heard come from mostly democrats is astounding  if only they did a little research

Answer 2

Wow. did you know Obama went to HARVARD? Lots of other highly educated people...millions of us in fact, are supporting Obama. Kind of puts your rant in its' place doesn't it? To generalize like that? Holy. If you don'tt like Obama, just vote against him, but to write that everyone who supports Obama is uneducated, and poor is an insult.

Answer 3

no you should base your vote on the character not what people think

Answer 4

Well I wouldn't say that most voters are ignorant on either side... I think that most come to vote based on their life perception and how they were raised and what they have seen... there are college grads on both sides, there are rich on both sides, there are hard working people on both sides.... so that really is an over-generalistic statement...

However I do believe that most people are intolerant to other peoples opinions and beliefs... and that goes for both sides...  

Answer 5

The rich vote for McCain because he'll give them tax breaks.  The poor vote for Obama because he'll help them.  It's not ignorance its common sense.  Why would you vote for McCain if your poor?  He wont help you only your boss.

Answer 6

You are so wrong on much of what you have stated. But it's your right to be. And your right to vote for the one you think will do best for this country. However you may want to stop at calling people ignorant. Then posting this type of nonsense. Even those that served with him and were held prisoner with him. Thinks he isn't fit for office.

Answer 7

It isn't a matter of ignorance.  Its political spin.  

There are many, many bitter people who hate George Bush, and they are saying, and doing, anything to get Obama elected.

In any political campaign you need to filter out all the garbage.  

Answer 8

I agree with the first person to answer.........Immediatly once Obama started to run for President, they called him Muslim, called him a terrorist, said he had no experience....ect...ect......these are now the same people that are complaining that Sarah Palin is being picked on......just ridicolus!

Ohh, and by the way, since Obama has his "private island" he is going on a 3-hour tour to see Gilligan and the professor........wow girl, get your facts straight before you put out a statement like this........I'll make sure that Cindy McCain fixs the sign on her Rel-Estate :)

Answer 9

No the poor don't get helped by obama, only the degenerates sucking off the public dole do same as always. And most college educated people tend to vote democrat anyway.

Answer 10

Yeah, why are you?

Answer 11

In real estate ?

Answer 12

You are 100 percent correct. The majority of the media is so far left that there is no journalistic integrity, and unfortunately many people will listen to anything they hear on television.  

Answer 13

Actually the more educated people are democrats in the blue states, check it out.

Answer 14

As one of the smart people, I'll decide for myself thanks based on facts not hyperbole.

Answer 15

I am not sure how you have divined this idea that the poor and uneducated vote one way while the rich and well educated vote another, but it is nonsense. There is no demographic count of voters.

Answer 16

I'm a Harvard grad and I'm voting for Obama.  Not to mention the fact that ... OBAMA WENT TO HARVARD and was the head of the law review.  I'd say that's pretty smart.

I think people who try to scare people with lies about Obama being muslim, etc are the ignorant ones.

Now if you want true ignorance, I say this site fits the bill: http://www.bofads.com

Answer 17

No. And here is why. The republican party is about the rich protecting the rich. They want to give tax break to the wealthy and to big corporations. The democrats fight for the everyday Joe who is working 40-50-60 hours a week and is paying more taxes than the wealthy. There are some very intelligent and rich democrats out there. Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Streisand,Keith Olberman, Jon Stuart,Robert Colbert, just to name a few.

This country is suposed tobe: Acountry by the people for the people. The rich are a minority and middle class is what makes this country go. I don't know if you can vote, but if you Obama is the only candidate to support.

Answer 18

McCain actually couldn't remember and that is a fact.  Relating facts is better than the outright lies that the Republicans have been telling about Obama. I'm an Ivy League grad and I will be voting for Obama.  Your generalized observations about voters seem to be based on the very ignorance that you are accusing others of.  

Answer 19

You are totally off base and should I say ignorant?  First McCain's wife is not in real estate, she has inherited (beer) money.  He could have said I own one and my wife has several.  Surely he knows how many his name is on.  

Most Nobel Prize winners are democrats.  Most PHD's are democrats.  Many rich people including Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are Democrats.  

Answer 20

U poor thing!!!

Answer 21

and that was one of the most ignorant questions I've read on here today... first its real estate not rel-estate, and what makes you think Obama has an Island? Did you just make that up? Also why don't you mention issues when you're posting an arguement instead of stuff you probably just heard people talking about.
