The American People ? or the American VOTERS?

Dec 26. 2010

You have , i am sure , heard many Politicians say " The American People " ...........blah etc

Perhaps fewer people have NOTICED that it is usually the GOPers who use that term to prove their own positions.............for exemple remember how many always used to say that The American People Do NOT LIKE this Health Care Obamacare..................etc

and Now after the Midterm Elections of Nov 2, they keep saying that The AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN ..........etc etc

WELL, I BEG TO DIFFER ...................what really happened on NOV 2. is that
The AMERICAN VOTERs have spoken their preference.

Since MILLIONS of AMERICAN people who were eligible to Vote DID NOT VOTE on Nov 2 !!!

So please, whenever you hear a GOPer say THE AMERICAN PEOPLE want this or that..............make them correct their phrase by saying the american VOTERS have.....etc etc

SO , NOW let us look at those voters ...the number of Voters who voted Nov 2, 2o1o

I have found a number on wikileaks about the SENATE.

here they are : SENATE VOTES

for GOP votes 37,057,491

for DEM votes 33,883,538
_______________

the difference is ................... 3,173,953 voters made the difference !!


i do not know the exact numbers, but I have heard that among the 19-29 year old who had suppoted Obama by 23 million ........this time only 14 million came out to vote

so we could say that 9 million sat this midterm out.................and if only HALF of these realized what horrible change would occur the DEMS would still have kept their Majority.

The POLITICAL SIN of this election was that citizens who may have been upset about OBAMA had the stupidity to ...........TAKE IT OUT on the DEMOCRATS in 111th Congess who have worked SO HARD to pass HEALTH CARE and WALL STREET REFORM STUDENT LOAN and many other good bills (0ver 300) that were passed in the House by PELOSI ................but were stuck in the ABOMINABLE SENATE .
