America ain’t buying it: 72% of adults don’t believe Giffords’ shooting was political

bigfoot
Bigfoot seems more plausible than the Democrats' spin on Jared Loughner

These must be very discouraging days for those who reside in the Democrat Party. Very discouraging days, indeed.

They’ve been huffing and puffing and trying their damnedest to pin the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on some Republican – any Republican – and it just hasn’t worked. Not even with the eager cheerleaders in the media rooting them on.

Rasmussen has the details:

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 28% of Adults say the shooting in Arizona was the result of political anger in the country. Fifty-eight percent (58%) say instead that it was a random act of violence by an unstable person. Fourteen percent (14%) are undecided.

Just 28% buy the Democrat spin. About the same percentage that believes in Bigfoot and flying saucers. Coming soon: Democrats claim that E.T. caused the shooting.

    • Wow... can you imagine if this is true what it means?

      Wasn't there a story about some kind of hit list associated to the Obama administration?

      In any case we have to figure out the state of mind of the shooter. He was either insane... he was paid, or he was manipulated and someone knew where to place him...

      • .

        No surprise here. Just Chicago gangster-style politics at work.

        As to the killers mind-set or motive --- remember Jack Ruby? Looking in the crystal ball I see two to one odds that he's killed before he can make a public statement. Your government tax dollars at work, don't 'cha know.

      • I DVR'ed O'Reilly and just watching it now...

        It is very odd indeed that there weren't even ONE cop from the sheriff department or other local forces there on a political event with a seated Congress person.

        That is ery strange. Considering that in events like these it is not unusual for at least one cop to bet there to observe.

        There are a great deal of coincidences going on... many that I am extremely uncomfortable with.

        • When the Clintons wanted to get rid of people, they put them on a plane... Obongo merely denies them their badge toting human shields.

          • It is extremely disturbing. It also disturbs me that people are not raising those questions on TV news.

  • With just 28% of Americans buying the Democrap spin, they still think they have a governing mandate...we'll have to show them the exit!

  • My 18 year old niece still believes it was Sarah Palin. But then again, she is in college, so she is inundated with liberal crap on a daily basis. I'm working on teaching her how to think for herself, look at evidence, etc. It's a long hard road to deprogram someone from a distance.

    • You will have to wait until she leaves and then has to start paying for her own food, clothes, rent and so on and so forth as hopefully her parents and others family members will not be bailing her out. Once she realize "oh crap life is hard and I better take control of it or else I'm going crazy", then the deprogramming can begin. Unless she by some fortune finds a conservative mentor in college. The best way to become a conservative is being gaining responsibilities.

      Overall it is the liberal that is extreme that will rather forego responsibilities in order to continue on his or her liberalism. Now are there liberals who are responsible and still liberal? Yes... but not above and beyond the normative (taking care of the mortgage and making sure the kids get and education) but the most responsible in my own experience hold on to some form of conservative belief system even if it is just fiscal conservatism. I could be wrong but this is what I have experienced. To this date I haven't experienced a full blown liberal that takes most to all aspects of their lives seriously and responsibly without some sort of conservative base or backbone. I wonder if anyone has... let me know.

      • Kimmy, most of the full blown libtards I know are all still sucking on the teat... The teat of their parents income, the teat of the welfare system, the teat of their spouse's income, the teat of their trust fund, the teat of their big inheritance, the teat of union shillery, etc. etc. I don't know any "serious and responsible" libtards... I do however know a small handful of moderate Libertarians who do display the traits you describe stemming from a Conservative Base or Backbone, but to get them to admit that? Not a chance.

        • Thank you. I seriously haven't experienced a full blown liberal that is fully committed to a responsible and hateless life. It just hasn't happened and you make a good point about the libertarians.

          • Sorry, she just started college, and is looking at being a teacher. I can't wait for her to get out of college to start working on her. The entire time she is in college, and even after that, I will be planting the seeds of doubt in her liberal mind. I like to teach by asking questions, and letting the person come to their own correct conclusions. If their conclusions aren't the correct ones, I ask other questions. It works in all but the most dense minds.

          • Right. She in the end will chose her own destiny, but if she is meant to know better she will know better, even if it means going through life experiences that are not as stellar or as expected that she wanted.

    • My questions for the college libtard set:

      1. "How come those calling Sarah Palin a "bimbo" often look like part of Paris Hilton's entourage?"

      2. "Why do those who decry modern civilization never live far from shopping centers and why don't they grind their coffee with a stone ax?"

      3. "How come the unselfish Americans hate their country out of personal frustrations, while the selfish ones defend America with their lives?"

      4. "Why is experimenting on animals cruel, but experimenting on human embryos compassionate?"

      5. "How come so many anti-American radicals are wearing American brands, listen to American music, watch American movies, and play American video games on computers designed by American engineers?"

      6. "If all beliefs are equally valid, how come my belief in the absurdity of this maxim gets rejected by its proponents?"

  • You know it's true when even libtard agenda huckster Jon Stewart won't try to exploit it for laughs on the Daily Show. Even the quasi-libtards I still associate with aren't buying it that politics influenced the loon in Tuscon.
