Voters are exactly that “prissy.” I love FR, but you can lose perspective of things like that if you are not careful. Obama says outrageous things but he says them very calmly and even tempered. Don’t get me wrong, I think he is evil. But style does matter with very many people. Let’s not be stupid and lose out of pushy arrogance. That’s all I am saying.
I remember Juan Williams talking about watching the debates with his mother, a long time democrat. At the end she said “George W. Bush seems like such a nice young man.” Juan said, “mom.....(complain complain).”. His point was that Bush was very likable and Gore was not so much. It matters. It mattes with the candidates and with their supporters.
I grow weary of the “well the democrats do it” argument. If we are no better than they are, why bother?
How did Romney not fit in with your ideal? That is why he lost.
FReeper Grampa Dave perhaps said it best:If Hiterily gets elected with enough votes in Congress, these will be the good old days.
The purists, who will stay at home because our candidate couldn't walk on water without getting the soles of his Teva's wet will have gifted us with another Clintoon pillaging. *
