THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN....
....and they said, "We are dumber than hell.."

The Repubs understand this fact much better than do Democrats. They appeal to the lowest common denominator. Democrats tend to treat voters as "intelligent". That is a mistake.

2. Agreed. Many of us who believed so all along took a lot of flack.
But, 58,000,000 ignorant idiots are proving us right.

3. It's not a mistake.........
It worked in '92 and again in '96.

Ignorant, not unintelligent.

4. god guns gays
They have pandered to the groups so fanatical about all those topics that they have managed to couple/marry unlikely allies to one another.

Why does a right to lifer join forces with a gun advocate and a corporate govt? Gop plan.


We have to divorce them and fast if we are to ever take our country back. Somehow we have to get these people to see they are voting against their own self interest over and over.

6. Generally the Pro-Life/Pro-Gun crowd is one in the same.
One of life's dubious oxymorons....

8. See? They don't care that they are voting against their own self
interest. Heard a nutcase woman on the radio this a.m. and she admitted how awful things are and they're gonna get worse, but 'as long as our leader is against abortion and gay marriage and is moral in the eyes of god, we may be hungry for a while, but the lord will provide' and that's VERY close to the exact words she used.

I live amongst the insane I tell ya.

9. I know and both me and my husband
are stunned, and honestly ready to leave this country. Honestly. WE don't want to live in a country that pride's itself of being dumb.

My husband's working on his PHD. Me, I just have a little college. But we want more for our kids. And any Western country is safer-why would anyone stay here for safety? Are you mad? I want to travel. And I don't want my passport to be American. What a sad day for the world.

10. You mean, angry elite republican white males have spoken....
including my repig hub who is still stuck in the mindset of the 50s. Yet, he has nothing in common with bush/cheney. My hub is honest, hardworking, highly educated, etc. etc. Not even religious.

11. Their methods are very effective.
Attack your for relentlessly, especially his strengths.

Incite fear in the public. Hammer away at cultural issues: God, guns, gays, abortion.

Lie, cheat, intimidate.

Just win.

When will we learn?
