And what makes anyone think that the onion is more Shtisim than CBS and MSNBC. Just let them start printing these polls and soon it will be that way as the majarity (over 47%) Americans have no capability to think on their own
So, my father, who was a career paratroop officer and was severely injured in the Battle of the Bulge had no capability to think on his own? When he retired from a second career in sales he paid no income tax as he received a non taxable military pension and Social Security. He was in the 47% Romney insulted. I hardly think my father was a “taker.” I do know his response to Romney would have been “gay cack afen yam.” Or worse.
