Appearing as a panelist on the November 6 Hardball, liberal talk show host Joe Madison offered his assessment for why Democrats lost the 2014 midterms:
Liberals, being the intellectuals they are, talk above the heads of the average voter, rather than communicating their ideas in an accessible manner for the layman to understand.
They need to put it where the goats can get it, as Madisons grandfather would say.

Democrats be like give us stuff, Republicans be like we got to work.
Put it where the goats can get it.
Then stab the goats with zerocare, inedible school lunches, deadly imported diseases, Benghazi, etc and chatter amongst yourselves where did the goats go? Simply baffled, they are.
20 some years ago, I use to listen to Joe on the old WRC talk radio in DC. He didn’t seem that stupid back then. And I guess he must think the race baiting Dem lines were ‘too’ smart for the targeted audience to understand.
The goats have seen it, swall0wed it, eliminated it, and determined it is good only for fertilizer.
Once again the Democrats have concluded they didn’t get their message out.
I’m very tempted to suggest they continue to believe that.
And he didn't really talk "down" to his audience. He actually lifted people's thoughts to a higher plane.
These liberals have made it their mission to talk to their audience with condescension.
Big difference.
Why should I tune into their programs when all they do is verbally hit me upside my head as if I were an idiot?
Which helps explain why the majority of surgeons, physicians dentists etc., tend to vote Republican while actors, welfare recipients, and criminals tend to vote Dem. Yup, they have high IQs piled up on their side. Let’s not even start on today’s “journalists,” who have turned investigative journalism on its ear in favor of becoming the sort of propaganda artists that would make Hitler proud. Clearly, getting a degree in journalism requires the mentality of the “middle school mean kid.”
IMHO liberals - and the transformation of the very word liberal in the 1920s - are best defined by the contrast between the 1910 liberalism"It is not the critic who counts . . . the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arenaof Theodore Roosevelt, and the post-1930 liberalism of Barak Obama:If youve got a business, you didnt build thatThe first is generous and encouraging, the last is not merely skepticism but outright cynicism. There is no trace of generosity of spirit in cynicism; leftists are greedy for credit and absolutely reject responsibility for themselves.It is fundamental to competent management not to separate responsibility from authority. It is fundamental to leftism of all stripes, OTOH, to hog credit and evade all blame.
How do you dumb down “Free stuff!”?
LOL! I pray the smarties keep up the “good” work and continue to treat their voters like soulless animals.
Is this just another way to say we are too stupid to know how great things are under obama?
