If we've learned anything from the last two elections it's that the VOTING POPULATION has CHANGED. They will vote for anyone Liberal with handouts and promises of more entitlements to come. A Republican is seen as a greedy, cigar-chomping or rifle holding Capitalist.
We are in a quandary because the public is misinformed and ignorant. Nobody wants to hear somebody like Palin draw up economic plans and chart the future for the recovery of this nation. Who cares about facts, trends, issues, policy, direction, analyses? People seem to want popular, reality TV shows, relatively cheap electronic gadgets and fashion. To hell with difficult subject matter for an informed public to make sound decisions, (which is what the Republicans try to spell out).
When a Republican calls for a “return to values that made this country great”, many voters see this as a racist ideology set up by (as they like to call them) dead White men.
Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Tom Paine, De Tocqueville?? Who is learning what they used to call “Civics”? Who's learning History?
I pray you are right, ooops, I even said “pray”, will that get me into trouble with the crowd?
I would like to think t
Agree 100%....the current state of politics is a reflection of the electorate....ignorance and the desire to be taken care of rule the day....and will likely until the bottom falls out of our economy...
