@98LowDown Your comment shows your stupidity, I will correct your errors in the order that you made them.

1. Communism is system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.

2. No one lied about Iraq having stockpiles of WMD's except Sadaam Hussein.

3. Over 500 WMD's were found in Iraq while the coalitionn forces were there. wikileaks clearly states this,among others

@98LowDown LOL.. no, communism is a progressive Democrat ideology. Your stupidity is obvious in your comments.

@Bluesman63 Why then when the search string I quoted is entered into Google do all of the links mention the "2 to 1" quote? Are you claiming that you know more than all of those new organizations combined? Wait. Please don't answer. It is already apparent that you think you do.

Try to comprehend: When asked, "What do you fear most?" Twice the number of respondents feared Obama being re-elected over those who feared he would lose. All politics is spin.

@jtkirkfan2002 The question asked was "What do you fear most in 2012?", not "Do you fear Obama's reelection?". Try to comprehend this and do the math - when asked what they feared most, 51% (over half = MOST) named things UNRELATED to Obama's reelection. Your false construct (in this case apparently shared by US News) is obviously based on the 33% vs 16% who mention Obama at all.

If the truth of what I say is not instantly apparent it is proof that you understand little about statistics.

@Bluesman63 From US News and World Reports, a summary of the results:

"In our New Year's poll, when asked what news event they fear most about 2012, Americans by a margin of two-to-one said Obama's reelection. Only 16 percent said they fear the Democrat won't win a second term, while 33 percent said they fear four more years."

US News is hardly a right-wing spin machine.

@jtkirkfan2002 Synovate:

"As we enter the presidential election year of 2012, what potential news event do you fear the most?

President Obama wins reelection 33%

Taxes will increase 31%

Iran will get a nuclear weapon 16%

Obama will lose reelection 16%

North Korea will attack South Korea 4%"

Your interpretation:

"By nearly a two to one margin, a recent poll revealed that what scares Americans most is another Obama term."

A transparent, and shockingly stupid, spin of these results.

@jtkirkfan2002 Thanks my friend, I will check it out. So rare a guy actually gets a reply to a request like this.

[jtkirkfan2002]

@Bluesman63 It was a Synovate poll. You Tube does not allow direct links in message boards but if you Google "Poll Americans fear 2nd Obama term" several links and references to it will pop up. The most detailed is the story from US News and World Reports "Washington Whispers" column.

@LIBERTYLATENIGHT Spam.
