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?

No, I'm saying that their disdain for the average American shows
through at stump time, and the average American doesn't like being
talked down to that way. E.g, the bitter clinging to God and guns
comment.

Amongst the elitist, disdainful Americans I know who actually
have family/friends of the god and guns variety the typical
first reaction was "Oh my gawd, that is *so* spot on"

Er, yeah...among the God and guns crowd, the use of the phrase "that is
*so* spot on..." is only exceeded by the use of the phrase, "Good lord,
Liz, I should expect that the Queen of England would not be so gauche as
to pass the port to starboard...Phil, would you mind awfully backhanding
yo bitch..."

HTH,
