All of the People All of the Time

Abraham Lincoln said,

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

This election will determine if this maxim which is the basis for all Democracy is still valid. If Republicans win in November Democracy itself has been destroyed as a political theory. It was defeated by technology that enabled fooling at least the majority of the people of the United States. We then enter a scary new world.

About Edwcraig

I was raised to be a right wing Republican. Born in South Carolina. Great grandson of a trial lawyer famous for defending whites on trial for lynching blacks. Strom Thurmond studied in his law firm. Mother dated Thurmond. Nephew of a KKK member. Late father and mother both Republicans. Sister active in Republican politics to this day. The University of South Carolina's political science department and its fraternities, of which I have a degree and membership respectively, are and have been ultra conservative. Lee Atwater was a college and post college drinking buddy. Served in the US Army. For eight years, I was a lobbyist for big oil. I also was an investment banker and I am now and have been a entrepreneur businessman in the financial technology area for the last 25 years. I am a white man and over 60. A church elder. I am in the 2%. To the surprise and disappointment of many people I know and in spite of all the odds, I am a staunch Democrat. I was Executive Director of the South Carolina Democratic Party under Don Fowler.
