Why people vote for Obama

Freepers expound on why people still vote for the evil anti-American Kenyan. What is interesting is how little variation therer really is. Though in retrospect, I suppose any sufficiently crazy philosophy's first priority is explaining why not everyone is crazy:

Lancey Howard thinks it's all the people getting "free stuff"

To quote dear old Dad: "When the parasites outnumber the hosts, it's all over."

For about half the voters in America, it's all about the "free stuff", confiscated from productive Americans and handed over to them, the deadbeats, in exchange for their Democrat votes. Things like "honesty", "integrity", and "good character" are totally irrelevant.

That's just where America is today. (shrug) It was great while it lasted, but nothing lasts forever.

Because folks an the welfare rolls are all about voting. And people getting Social Security all vote Dem.

alstewartfan agrees that it must be people getting government handouts:

Everyone in their heart of hearts knows that this Punk is an incompetent Loser. But either they are on the taxpayer trough or have been BS’d by the leftists that things would even be WORSE without him. They are taking a machete and slicing their own throats.

andy58-in-nh blames a coalition:

Stupidity.

That's really the best answer. But it's sad that 90+% of blacks still support this guy from a combination of misplaced racial solidarity and multi-generational dependency. Then, you've got the hard-core Commie leftists, single urban white women with Steinem's disease, and the oddball inhabitants of the Castro, South Beach, Provincetown and Fire Island....

Steinem's disease. Classy. But blacks, commies, feminists and gays do not a 50% approval make.

rockinqsranch agrees with the above, though he adds the catchall "liberal"

#1. “Ya don vote against blood”.

#2. PC non politico’s of Liberal bent that think everything is just fine because the lyin’ Leftist newspaper says life is good.

#3. Liberalism IS a mental disorder, and there are a number of them albeit they are a minority, but combined with #1, and #2 they become a force, and if they convince the Independents as they did in 2008, they win.

LS also has a very similar list:

He has a built-in 90% approval by the 12% of the black population (i.e., 11% of any poll is going to approve based solely on skin color). That means that among all other groups, he’s only getting about 35%-30% approval. You then have to factor in a good 10% white guilt which will not be willing to blame him for being an idiot because of skin color. Finally, you then have about 15% of the uber-left non-black voters who are simply crazy. That’s your numbers.

proxy_user thinks all the numbers are phantoms cause of people afraid the pollster will call them racist:

PC. Those who say they approve will not necessarily vote for him in the privacy of the booth. This is why the exit polls are wrong.

Freddd thinks the media is making it seem like stuff doesn't suck as much as it does:

The same thing that’s keeping the DOW up and unemployment numbers down.

Nothing, but Obamamedia.

fuzzybutt also blames the media:

Sadly imformed people like Freepers are a rarity these days. The MSM has done a stellar job of lying for him. Even people I considered well informed are not, because they are still getting their news from lying hacks.

Sadly I do not think we have a chance, winning our country back I mean.

Perdogg thinks blacks make up about 50% of people polled:

the voting block that gave him 99% of its vote.

fwdude blames women - they like Obama's GQ style.

I know this will attract a lot of flames, but what buoys his approval is overwhelmingly women.

Even my mother, who is a staunch conservative, evangelical Christian who did not vote for Obama recently said that he's "not too bad." zerØ has the smooth, GQ style that most women (and many pansied men) can't see past, and the image carries them away.

Yes, men are different than women, and I'll go to the grave believing this truth.

Little Ray also blames women:

Between TV and women voters, a presidential candidate's appearance probably counts more than his competence.

‘Pubbies should keep that in mind when selecting the next candidate.

That is also a reason that pretty Republican women may not have a good chance at the presidency: Jealousy.

Also they tend to be insane. But I'm sure the jealousy thing matters too.
