Stupid and too comfortable with being lazy f**kwits. I guess if his friends told Mr. Peterson that babies come from Mars, he would believe that too.

This is the kind of news story that is meant to make us feel defeated and hopeless. Sure, plenty of people will vote or not vote because of ignorance and misinformation, but plenty of others truly want to know the truth and want to make informed decisions. Every vote matters. It’s important that we don’t write off middle America.

As someone who has lived in Ohio for almost all of my 49 years I have to say that the Mr. Peterman is probably representative of most of the “swing voters” in Ohio. Ill informed people whose sources of information are few and far between and easily swayed by rumor and innuendo, especially when it conforms to what they wish to be true. I see in him almost everyone I know personally. People either don’t want to take the time to separate fact from fiction, don’t have the time or don’t really think it will make much difference.

The sad fact is that our elections all around the country are essentially decided by the Mr. Petersons of the world. Is it any wonder that we find ourselves in such a sorry condition? And we are surprised when people continue to vote against their own self interests.

Years ago my father and I were at the the Natural History in NYC looking at the fossil remains of T Rex when he turned to me and said something to the effect of, “I find the bible easier to believe.” My father is a successful, well-educated man. Sometimes people just can’t believe their lying eyes because they just don’t want to. I suspect Mr. Peterson wants to believe the rumors about Obama, for whatever reason.

I think the RNC floats these emails for one reason- they work. They provide cover for people like the dolt above to not vote for Obama. I guess most of them wouldn’t vote for Obama because of that N-problem anyway, but these trumped up emails give them a “socially acceptable” excuse.

“Or his friend Leroy Pollard, a devoted family man so convinced Obama is a radical Muslim that he threatened to stop talking to his daughter when he heard she might vote for him?”

That’s your family values for you.
