Silent Majority? give me a break.

First, Obama, and just about every other politician that I know of (except for Dubya, of course) was voted in by a MAJORITY of voters.

Also, notice that the "Silent Majority" is basically composed of a bunch of radical, ignorant Conservatives. This is not to say that all Conservatives are radical and ignorant; but there are a bunch of them.

Next, view this photo.



After you stop ranting about how this photo is from CNN, notice that the Democrats also don't have the majority. So, also assuming that every Republican is not an idiot (and I know for a fact that every Republican is not an idiot) the "silent majority" could not possibly be a majority, provided they are drawn exclusively from the Republican party.

Now, I know, the "Silent Majority" is not drawn exclusively from the Republicans. But the Reps are more likely to become a member of the non-"Silent Majority", than are the Independents and the Dems. I'd argue that almost all of the sinning, tree-hugging, Marxist Democrats are not part of this "Silent Majority."

I can guarantee you that most Independents are not part of the "Silent Majority," because they tend to be the most rational of the three groups (Dems, Indies, and Reps.)

So, the Silent Majority is not a majority. This is one more piece of evidence that the Silent Majority is really composed primarily of ill-informed, poorly educated, media (Fox News) driven, panic-y idiots.
