The commercial is supposed to have more than one message, we all know that. It's either the cup is half full or half empty. If our general attitude is "90% of this country is dumb" it's possibly a self defeating and self fulfilling prophecy don't ya think? It's no wonder the GOPe figures they can just jam Mitt Romney down our throats if our attitude is so lousy.
If this is or was ever a great country it was because of the people - my guess would be at any given time that would be at least 1/2 of them. If you don't believe in the better nature of both political folks and non-political, Democrats and Republicans, fat people and skinny, etc. etc. Then why fight for it at all?
