“He’s not ‘talking down’ to anyone, he’s simply meeting some folks where they are. Are you denying that most folks don’t know the difference between a democracy and a representative republic?”
‘where they are’? I’m in Texas. I am denying that he needs to be patronizing like that. I dont see other GOP candidates doing that. That’s the kind of junk Al Gore would pull, talking to us like 5th graders. That would be a big phony act if true, and we don’t need phony candidates.
Congratulations on being a savvy citizen! Most FReepers, are. However, as several threads on FR in the last week have shown, many are not, and they do need to be educated about this country. I'm glad Fred is doing this, and with his speaking style, they won't think they're being 'talked down to', as they might if they were being spoken to by Her Heinous. But then, she wouldn't be trying to educate any of them anyway; it's in her best interest to keep them uninformed.
