"base" of the populace, or maybe the baser elements of the populace. You have to talk real slow to those folks and use simple words. They still think they can pop anyone up there and compete.

I mean, we had George W. Bush in there for eight years, and you cain't get no simpler than that.

They believe that even members of their own party are simple dunces. That's why they are failing. It worked for a while, but no more. Having a dolt as President just didn't work out all that well, even with Cheney having his back.

But they haven't learned. Sarah Palin got all the mental defecatives of the party all fired up, and she's a simple talker, also. So, if a dark-skinned guy can get elected, they think putting up a dark-skinned guy who talks like a Politics for Dummies book oughta take care of bidness.

The more fools them.
