I've said this before, but it's worth saying again. If this is the
typical Dem's view of the average American public, then they deserve
not to get elected. It's been this exact attitude that's lost them the
last two elections, which they should have both easily won, and if
they make it three in a row, maybe they'll finally do some navel
gazing. But if they persist in blaming the American voter as being to
stupid to vote for them, they deserve what they get.

Take care,

Jon, so let me understand this. Are you saying that the Ds lost the
last 2 elections because some "typical Dem's" said that the average
voter is not fully informed?

I thought it had something to do with the fact that a large percent of
the voters said the believed that Iraq was behind 9/11 or maybe Iran,
that fundamentalist voters believed that God wanted Shrub to lead
America as their pastors told them, that Kerry was swishy, that global
warming was a Gore fantasy, that Wall Street was safer than Social
Security as their President told them, that stem cell research somehow
was related to murder, and that the "hydrogen economy" was the answer
to peak oil, just like their President told them. But I could be
wrong.

How does your analysis account for the fact that the a large
proportion of the average voters . . . do not even vote in most
elections? Are the "typical Dems" also responsible? Why did you vote
for Shrub? Because some "typical Dem" spoke in an irritating way? Will
you use the same decision criteria a third time? ;-))
