I've said this before, but it's worth saying again. If this is the

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.

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?

Jon blamed it on the "typical Dem" having a bad attitude.

If anything the Dems give the American voter too much credit.
I mean they nominate people who write books instead of buffoons
who can barely read them and trust that the American voter can
recognize the lies, smears and character assassination which has
become the modus operandi of the Republican party. Kerry lost
because he could not believe the American voter was so goddamn
stupid as to believe the Swiftboat lies. And really who would
have thought that the GOP could get away with smearing an actual
war hero ? Unbelievable, but then I have a bad attitude. ;-)
