"Vote for us, you greedy warmongering bigots, because we're smarter than you are." I doubt this approach will win over the affections of the nearly 60 million Americans who voted to re-elect President Bush, but it is the tack many Democrats and their friends in the news media have taken. For years, they attacked the intelligence and character of President Bush. Now they are attacking the intelligence and character of those who voted for him. "America has always had strains of isolationism, nativism, chauvinism, puritanism and religious fanaticism," wrote Maureen Dowd in the New York Times. "Democrats are not going to get the support of people whose votes are motivated, above all, by their opposition to abortion and gay rights, (and, in the background, their opposition to minority rights)," fumed Dowd's partner in paranoia, Paul Krugman.
