I don't know if I want to start this conversation regarding the intelligence of the electorate. This is a deep subject. Obviously, in the last election there was a lot of "identity politics". I call it tribalism. The parasites vote, en mass, for the person who will keep the gravy train rolling. You actually can't blame them, they are voting in what they perceive as their own best interest. The people who really screwed up are the ones who voted against their own best interests. That would be anyone who works, pays taxes, or believes in America. Many in these categories will vote for Obama again. For example, Jews.

You are right, this is exactly our problem. And this is not going to be fixed by 2012, if ever. It is only getting worse. In 2012 we will be within one "October Surprise" away from a gullible and poorly educated electorate re-electing this man for another 4 years.

Since you agree with me, I cannot disagree with you, but please note, it is more than gullibility and poor education.

The dems have their constituency groups. It is the same in Canada and every other democratic state. There is a large portion of the population that looks to the government for their sustenance. They will vote dem. Add the die hard liberals, the tribalists, the unionists, the feminazis, and you've got 30%-35% of the population. All you have to do is add in some white guilt and you get 45%. It is a very small step to victory from there.
