Ron White is famous for his “You can’t fix stupid” routine.
Maybe he’s wrong. Maybe you can fix stupid.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: everyone who voted for Barack Obama is a dumbass. But dumbass isn’t always fatal. And it’s not always permanent.
Gene Simmons, for instance.
I’ve never considered him a dumbass. He’s a successful musician and businessman. But he did vote for Obama. And, well, you know what I’ve said about voting for Obama.
However… he’s said it more than once: he’d take back his vote for Obama:
What does this mean? Well, perhaps more and more people are coming to their senses. Maybe they now realize what we were saying back n 2008 when we said that Obama was an incompetent buffoon who’d lead the country down the road to ruin.
And maybe, just maybe, we can get them on our side, the right side, America’s side.
Gene is a supporter of Israel, and the disdain that the O has for the state of Israel is readily apparent. Maybe the American Jewish community will see that supporting “liberals” is against their better interest.
Gene needs to run for POTUS with one provision. He must wear his KISS attire at all times while in the White House. Now THAT would scare moooooslims to death! And being from Israel, the Jooooooos would be happy! And he’s like a million times smarter than Obama! Simmons/Bachmann!
I think most folks will still vote for the D or R based on nothing more than, “I hate this guy, but I hate the other guy more.” That’s not a shock and it happens every election.
What changes is whether the base turns out their pockets for a guy from election to election. McCain had lukewarm fundraising as a national candidate running against a socialist. People, like me, would hold our nose and vote for him, but we wouldn’t give him a dime. Palin enters and they raise something like 8-9 million in a day or so. My buddy, a successful salesman, told me years ago, “People think they are rational when they buy, but it is largely an emotional impulse that gets them to spend.”
I think BO is going to hit the same wall McCain hit. Liberals will hold their nose and vote for him, but they may sit on their wallets. Where’d all the talk of the “Billion dollar campaign” go? The emotion isn’t there for the sale anymore. Oh, he’ll still get hundreds of millions and folks will still push illegal donations through anonymous online donations, but he’s not getting the money the Dems hoped he’d get to float other campaigns and, further, he’ll be toxic in some close races. His biggest liability will be his record because the only things he’s accomplished are things that only the far Left like.
Oh, this is supposed to be about Gene Simmons. my kid loves Kiss (he’s 10). Got to know them through Guitar Hero. I guess that’s all I have to say.
Well, Rock, he’s also alienating hard leftists, badly. They are furious over Guantanamo not closing, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq being continued, the defunding of many Planned Parenthoods on the state level (which he is being held accountable for among hard leftists), and everything else they always whine about. So instead of admitting they elected a turd, they call him “Bush 2.0”. When he’s really Carter 2.0. Anti-semite with no constitutional knowledge and a destructive, Cloward-Piven economic plan.
So he’s left with the “moderate” left. And they’re not nearly enough. Only thing that could mess it up is the GOP again offering up the worst candidate among primary runners as the nominee. A lot of us won’t do that again.
Also, gents, Romney, for instance, could win because he doesn’t have to fund-raise; he has that fortune amassed by selling hair care products or whatever it is that he does.
Except that one must be born an American to run. Oh wait…wasn’t Gene actually born in….uh….Alaska? Yeaaaahhhh. That’s right, Alaska. Birth Certificate? What are you, a racist?
After watching the video, I have to say that Ron White is still correct– you can’t fix stupid. This is an example of a stupid person being beaten over the head with reality to the point where he realized how stupid he was. Doesn’t mean his stupid is fixed. He’ll still vote for the next Democrat who comes along.
I don’t think you can so much fix stupid. To say that liberals are abandoning Obama does not imply that they would not vote for the next messiah in Obama’s clothing. Like Simmons, these people cannot admit they were conned. It’s much more palatable to claim that Obama didn’t become what he promised or didn’t do what he should have done. As for Israel, that was a no-brainer. Those who wanted to know knew where he stood during the campaign.
he voted for O because he was black and wanted to be part of “History” – ugh! what a stupid reason for voting a President.
How come I’ve never heard, “Gee, I feel so stupid because I didn’t vote for Obama.”
When i was in high school and Kiss was around, for some reason I never pictured Gene Simmons being on the news talking about who the president should be. Of course, since we listened to the air raid sirens every day at noon for my entire life, I never expected a flaming communist to be elected president either.
But anyway….did you see the legs on her? wow I wonder what happens to the ugly girls who apply at Fox. They even find hot
liberals for when you have the sound off.
“he voted for O because he was black and wanted to be part of “History” – ugh! what a stupid reason for voting a President.”
At least he admits it, most liberals can’t even tell you why they voted for him. If they admitted it was to prove they aren’t racist, that would be admitting they are.
“Also, gents, Romney, for instance, could win because he doesn’t have to fund-raise; he has that fortune amassed by selling hair care products or whatever it is that he does.”
I grew up where Romney lived (Belmont, MA) and the Mormons built this huuuuuuuuge church there, I think he paid for it and ever since then, all the Mormons just send him their money. It’s a liberal puke town but man they sure didn’t like the idea, it took them years to get it approved. I think that’s when I figured out that people who claim to be all tolerant of everything are anything but.
Another Obama supporter who has changed his mind. There seem to be more of them every day. On the other hand, how many people have you heard say that they did NOT vote for Obama but now, after two and a half years of Obama policies, they have changed their mind and will vote FOR him? I have heard of none, zero, nada! Perhaps I read the wrong blogs.
Gene Simmons ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just linked the hell outta this!
