Drug-related violence/Texas secedes from Union

30% Say U.S. Drug Use To Blame For Growing Violence in Mexico

Just 30% of U.S. voters say drug users in the United States are more to blame for
growing drug violence in Mexico than the drug producers themselves. Fifty-six percent
(56%) say the Mexican drug producers are more to blame for the tide of violence
that threatens to cross into the United States, according to a new Rasmussen Reports
national telephone survey.

No, it is stupid ass laws right here in the United States that is the culprit of all the violence on the border and in Mexico. Why the fuck can't you people see that? Legalize, and regulate these drugs and watch the fucking violence decrease you stupid motherfuckers. But no, you'd rather have the government babysit everything and everyone. It's fucking bullshit. If someone wants to smoke a joint, then that's their right as an American citizen. This country was founded on liberty, was it not? Smoking a joint isn't hurting anyone. People need to take responsibility for themselves and stop looking to the government for a fucking babysitter. Goddammit.

In Texas, 31% Say State Has Right to Secede From U.S., But 75% Opt To Stay Thirty-one percent (31%) of Texas voters say that their state has the right to secede from the United States and form an independent country.

However, the latest Rasmussen Reports poll in the state finds that if the matter was put to a vote, it wouldn't even be close. Three-fourths (75%) of Lone Star State voters would opt to remain in the United States. Only 18% would vote to secede, and seven percent (7%) are not sure what they'd choose.

Of course they have a right to secede from the union. And I fucking hope they exercise that right. This country needs some radical fucking change. Maybe it will wake the assholes in Washington up and all the brain dead fucking citizens who would rather play with their toys than hold their government accountable for the assfucking they've been receiving all these years.

But I'm not holding my breath.

Rasmussen Reports April 16

Voters Don't Rank Immigration As A Priority Issue

Despite reports that President Obama plans to begin a push for immigration reform,
voters rank it fifth out of five priorities he has proposed this year in the latest
Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Forty-one percent (41%) now see deficit reduction as the top priority while 26%
see health care reform as most important. Eleven percent (11%) say the search for
new energy sources should be the most important objective, followed by nine percent
(9%) who say the president's educational goals are their top concern.

Why does everyone want to hide under the bed when it comes to illegal immigration? No one wants to do anything about it or even talk about it. If you're against illegal immigration you're marked as a racist. Ridiculous, isn't it? It's called ILLEGAL immigration for a reason. Aren't we supposed to be law abiding citizens? Then why do we let these people come into our country illegally and not prosecute them? I don't understand it. I really don't.

On Immigration, Large Gap Remains Between Mainstream America and Political Class

Sixty-six percent (66%) of likely voters nationwide say it is Very Important for
the government to improve its enforcement of the borders and reduce illegal
immigration. However, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found
that just 32% of America?s Political Class agrees.

Interesting. Yet they think illegal immigration isn't a priority issue. What a bunch of bullshit.

72% Want More Military Action Against Pirates

Seventy-two percent (72%) of U.S. voters say the United States should take more
military action to prevent further piracy against American and other ships off
Africas east coast. Twelve percent (12%) are opposed to any further U.S. military
action against the pirates, and 16% are not sure, according to a new Rasmussen
Reports national telephone survey.

Military action? What the fuck kind of military action? Why don't we allow these ships to defend themselves against pirates? They are out there on the water as lame ducks. Then you wonder why they get fucking attacked.

Latest Generic Ballot Shows Republicans and Democrats in a Dead Heat

Support for the Democrats fell two points this week, while support for the GOP candidates fell one point. Last week, the Democrats were ahead by just a 40% to 39% margin.

Good. Americans are getting tired of the liberalism so they're going to turn to the conservatives. I love it. It's great fun watching the two parties play musical chairs.

30% Say Government Should Limit Pay for Athletes and Movie Stars

30% Say Government Should Limit Pay for Athletes and Movie Stars

While a great deal of public anger is focused at corporate executives these days,
Johnny Depp and the Boys of Summer don't fare much better. Thirty percent (30%) of
Americans believe the government should make it illegal to pay movie stars and
athletes more than $1 million per year.

This is ridiculous. Now I agree that movie stars and athletes are overpaid, but having government come in to wipe them out is bullshit. It's not like they don't pay taxes. The more they make, the more they pay in taxes.

Who are the 30% that support something like this? They're a bunch of idiots in my humble opinion.

Bad News for Democrats

According to Rasmussen...

Support for the Democratic Congressional candidates fell to a new low over the past week, allowing the GOP to move slightly head for the first time in recent years in the Generic Congressional Ballot.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 41% said they would vote for their district’s Republican candidate while 39% would choose the Democrat.

Investors now favor Republicans by a 46% to 36% margin, while non-investors would vote Democratic by a 45% to 33% margin.

Rasmussen

If this keeps up, Democrats are gonna be in trouble in 2010 and 2012. I may even vote for the Republican candidate for President in 2012 myself if Obama keeps showing his hypocrisy and succeeds in being a hypocrite. Let this be a warning to you Obama and the Dems. Get your shit together and govern from the center or else you will face casualties in the next 2-4 years.

72% Say Christmas Season Comes Too Soon

With stores starting their Christmas sales in October and radio stations playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving, 72% of Americans say the joyous holiday season now comes too early.

Just 22% disagree, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Six percent (6%) are undecided.

While 76% of men think the holiday season is upon us too soon these days, only 67% of women agree. Twenty-seven percent (27%) of women don't think the Christmas season comes too early, compared to 17% of men.

Those over 40 are more likely than younger adults to say the Christmas season starts too soon. Those with higher incomes also think the season has gotten too long.

In a survey last December, 64% of adults said the holiday season should focus more on the birth of Jesus, too. But 91% of adults planned to celebrate Christmas in some form or another.

For retailers, however, it may not matter how long the shopping season lasts this year: 66% of Americans say that they plan to spend less on the holidays this year than they did a year ago. Consumer confidence is near record lows and 40% of small business owners expect lower sales this year.

Sixty-seven percent (67%) of all adults also say the Thanksgiving holiday now gets lost in the holiday season. Just 26% disagree.

Rasmussen

I'm glad that I'm not alone on this one. Most people think the Christmas season is starting too soon. I couldn't agree more. Can't we have our Turkey before you drag out the Christmas music and decorations and stuff? Let's savor one holiday before we move onto the next. Could we possibly put this on the bulletin board for next year? Thanks.
