I don't know if he's right, but I wouldn't be surprised. I have no doubt that people know more about Kim Kardashian's pregnancy than any of these issues.

If true, then we deserve to become the fascist nation we are limping towards.

Ya know I dont even know who? or what the Kardashians are????? guess I dont read or watch gossip crap. Why are they famous?

It's important that I know about Angelina's double mastectomy. What's a Bengazi?

They are yawning about Benghazi for sure. The IRS thing is too soon to tell, but I have a feeling it will end up being more about the need for campaign finance reform than anything else.

I told you people a week ago, normal America doesn't care about Benghazi. They will care about the IRS thing a bit until some heads roll and then that will be over. The AP phone number subpoena thing will matter about as much to normal Americans as something like an election scandal in a third world country nobody can pronounce or find on a map.

Political junkies have a bad habit of overestimating the amount that normal Americans give a shit about the kind of stuff political junkies obsess over.

I was going to answer your question, but I think I'll leave it at this:

It's probably better you don't know.

I disagree that it's because they are interested in the Kardashians rather they are sick and tired of not being listened to at all by this congress. They're tired of extremists setting the agenda.

These people are supposed to be working for us.

Throw the bums out in 2014.

If you don't think the Dem's coffers would suffer greatly you are mistaken. No more union giving, advocacy group giving such as AARP, and on and on and on. The unions have been one of the biggest contributors to campaigns, ya know.

Not this time...this is easy to understand and it scares people. Put that with his overall ineffectiveness and I think this one will stick.

 

[bodecea]

I think people just might pay attention to how QUICKLY the Republicans jump on this and want to set up investigations and COMPARE it to how SLOWLY they get the regular business of running our country done.

 

[AmyNation]

I think a general lack of trust or poor expectations add to it all. No one cares because no one expects better from the government, and average Americans have no faith that what they are hearing are facts or more political spin.

Wow.

Well put. Couldn't agree more, and all of us should be scared shitless by it.

I think people have seen too much GOP political posturing since Obama was first elected. It's like they cried "wolf" 347 times too many.
The GOP needs to learn to pace themselves with their witch hunts.

It's a strange thing, but I don't recall any polls during Iran-contra or Watergate on whether the public cared about the issue. The MSM only seems interested in whether the public cares when one of their heroes is wriggling on the hook.

The public would have yawned about Nixon back in the day but the media standards were different then.

Oh god help me, I just found out why they became famous. I thought it had to do with they invented a sweater or something. your right It was best not for me to know.

 

[depotoo]

this poll was from last week - not after all the revelations have been brought forth. Let's wait and see what the next 2 week polls show.

The fact that you even compare Iran-Contra and Watergate to these incidents proves how far out of it you are, compared to normal America.
