You know what jersey , you can put this together any way that suits your wishs.
When the majority chooses chocolate ice cream over green tea ice cream that doesnt make them idiots.
That just means they know what they like, and that doesnt make them idiots either.
Unfortunatly with the left , they think we need them to tell us what we like and what is right and wrong.
You would like to paint a picture of our citizens as complete bumbling fools because the majority dont hate there country like you do.
We have a judicial that operates on a majority vote as does our congress, in that case the majority does not require a 51% vote at all times , but it does require a substantial majority.
Jurys render their verdicts by majority vote. As do major corporate boards.
As far as jesus goes. When an athiest thinks his opinion on jesus is compelling , he needs his head checked.
You say you respect peoples faith even though you are athiest.
The statement you made proves that not to be the case.
I hardly think that Ron Paul will be a household word in 2000 years, never mind one of the greatest inspirations and teachers man has ever had.
The best you can say about Jesus is that he “probably” did no such thing.
Untill you know, its best not to act like you do.

And I find it funny how you put down group mentallity when thats exactly what the left is all about, the collective, the community, the people as plural.
Its ok when they buy your crap? And they’re idiots when they dont?. Thats just plain childish

You said;
it’s a fact. Studies on “groupthink” and “mob mentality” have well established it. You just haven’t read up on the subject.
Most educated people are well aware of this reality. That’s why we live in a republic instead of a pure democracy

So let me get this straight. These studies ? were they done by groups ?
Its not mob mentallity or groupthink when people boo because they dony agree with you. You might be able to apply this in a commercial atmosphere and a trendy atmosphere. But whether you like it or not people are not as stupid as you would like to think they are.
This is why you constantly piss people off , because its actually the independant thinkers like me that take offense to your generalization of the public as idiots.
I have more faith in man than you do, consequently I am happier more of the time than you are. I spew less condecending remarks and doubt than you.
But if we all turned around and followed your advice we would be geniuses.
This is what you call “me think” mentallity, and gives no credit to what “they think”

You can apply group think to reflexive issues such as panic and instataneous decision making etc…
But those that have been watching a candidate for almost a year have had more than enough time to do their own thinking. But the voters in America are hardly considered a mob.
And the founders were just that, but they dont “rule today”
The majority in states and zones determine the worthiness of our electoral.
The fathers found fairness in letting both the majority and the electoral have its place.
So obiously the majority is not the curse you would like us all to belive it is.

Studies also show that 4 out of 5 dentists recomend brushing with Crest every day.

Get it ?

No, the majority does not “win the vote.” The Electoral College does that job.

And no, Jesus probably did no such thing. Jesus, the Biblical character, is a creation of latter bishops. The real Jesus was probably just a popular apoplectic Jew at a time when there were many such folks. His reputation eventually inspired a new faith. Such if the fickle fate of history.

I meant “usually pretty smart.” Oops.

Yeah, it’s a fact. Studies on “groupthink” and “mob mentality” have well established it. You just haven’t read up on the subject. Most educated people are well aware of this reality. That’s why we live in a republic instead of a pure democracy. The Founders were educated people.

Call it what you want jersey.
But the majority wins the vote in what you call a ” a free and civil nation.”
Dont even compare Jesus to Ron Paul, talk about dumb things to say.
Jesus did more for man in a day than Ron Paul would or could in his whole life.

The majority IS a fool. It’s that old expression - any one perons is usually pretty, and one group is usually pretty stupid.

OH! That will put it in perspective for me , jeeez, you think that works ?

By “living” I meant in a free and civil nation.

Jesus was booed off the stage more than once, Micky.

Jersey said;
all very easy targets of our ire, but in the end, we couldn’t live without them.

That depends on how you define “living”

You said;
He’s a little hard to read.

Then dont be so sure of what you think.

The ones who get booed of the stage are usually the idiots.
The public knows how campaigning works and how all candidates pander, some more than others.
Ron Paul may speak the truth from his own little perspective, which is why he gets booed.
The majority knows hes a fool.

No, I got the Taurus because of the condition, the mileage, and that it just plain fell out of the sky into my hands (actually, my employer at the time set up the deal. It was a mint fleet car.). Yeah, it’s a Ford, so as usual it has a fantastic engine and a alousy everything else. But I always keep a good mechanic around.

Sorry ro the “ysed car dealer” crack. But you must be pretty thick skinned about that by now. Lawyers, used car dealers, tax collectors, the ACLU - all very easy targets of our ire, but in the end, we couldn’t live without them.

As for whether they “ALL” say what we want to hear, well, yes, “they” being the only serious contenders. Those who do tell it straight, regardless of what we want to hear, tend to get booed off the stage. It’s a shame. Romney just strikes me as an extreme panderer, but I could be wrong. He’s a little hard to read.

Hey ! since when do any of them”NOT “tell you what you want to hear?
Thats like accusing them of breathing.
Thats par for the course.
I think on more than one dimension, and have already dealt with that aspect, and looked at the other mitigating factors.
I’m pretty smart myself, and sold used and new cars for JN chevrolet for 3 years.

A Taurus ? I guess you looked good in it.

Micky, the last car I bought was a Taurus with only 30K for $5000 cash. Remember, I worked in the auto industry - I’m too smart to get a bad deal on a car. It’s still running great. You’d have to be completely uninformed to buy a new car, unless it’s a well-priced Toyota or Honda.

My logic is both superficially and historically based. Romney is a serious flipper, and his demeanor is quite slick. He’s certainly no everyman, and he plays plays the role poorly. But, he tells you guys what you want to hear, so I guess you’re blind to what seems obvious to me. I thought the same thing about Clinton back in ‘92.
