According to a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll [DRUM ROLL, PLEASE]:
Sixty-one percent of Americans polled would rather see taxes for the wealthy increased as a first step to tackling the deficit!
REPEAT: SIX-ONE, 61 PERCENT OF THE REAL AMERICAN PEOPLE — NOT THE FAKE, PHONY, FRAUDULENT TEABAGGER "AMERICAN PEOPLE" THAT REPUBLICANS KEEP REFERRING TO IN THEIR TALKING POINTS — WANT THE RICH TAXED TO BRING DOWN THE DEFICIT!
The next most popular way — chosen by 20 percent — was to cut defense spending.
REPEAT: ANOTHER 20 PERCENT ARE A BUNCH OF DEFENSE CUTTING PEACENICK HIPPIES WHO WANT TO TAKE THE CUTTING KNIFE TO THE DEFENSE BUDGET!
TRANSLATION: FULLY 81 PERCENT OF THE REAL AMERICAN PEOPLE TOTALLY EMBRACE THE "PROGRESSIVE AGENDA" DERISIVELY MOCKED BY THE DEAN OF THE IDIOT PUNDITOCRACY, CHRIS W. MATTHEWS.
The Yellow Teabagger Flag of Selfishness, Cowardice, and Hypocrisy. |
WHAT'S LEFT: 19 PERCENT OF REACTIONARY, IGNORANT, SELFISH, INSANE, BIGOTED OLD TEABAGGING FARTS AND WINGNUTS, THE DICKENSIAN DREGS OF OUR SOCIETY, WHO MANAGED TO WREST CONTROL OF ONE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT WITH TONS OF CORPORATE AND FOREIGN CASH, LAUNDERED THROUGH THE U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Four percent would cut the Medicare government health insurance program for the elderly, and 3 percent would cut the Social Security retirement program.
REPEAT: NINETY-SIX PERCENT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, A VIRTUALLY UNANIMOUS VERDICT CONSIDERING THE 3 TO 4 PERCENT MARGIN OF ERROR, WANT ABSOLUTAMENTE NO CUTS IN MEDICARE!!!
AND NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT WANT NO CUTS IN SOCIAL SECURITY!!!!
MEMO to Dean Matthews: Live by the polls, DIE by the polls.
"You like polls, Chris, then take a look at them. On healthcare, financial reform, protecting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, getting out of Afghanistan. That's the progressive agenda — America's agenda. Not what the corporate political shills at POLITICO have to say."
QUESTION FOR THE IDIOT PUNDITOCRACY: What kind of "DEMOCRACY" do you celebrate, sir, where elections are determined by lies and unlimited corporate "investments" and the people's voice, THE TRUE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA, is muted despite POLL AFTER POLL AFTER POLL indicating overwhelming public support for the liberal position — when, o when will we get leaders with enough courage to be openly and proudly liberal?
A false "democracy" in which the people's voice is muted in favor of the corporate "citizen" is, I would submit, not one to be celebrated.
