I’m about up to *here* with this elitist crap. Look where it’s gotten us. I don’t care if they think Brown is an intellectual lightweight, or Sarah Palin, or Dan Quayle before them. (And for the record I thought Dan was a pretty sharp guy, not that it mattered to them.)
I want someone who has a heart for what is right for America. Not right for Europe or some socialist ideal. Someone like the rest of us. I’ll take ten - no, several dozen - of those over one bozo with his nose in the air or his head in the clouds who thinks he has all the answers.
I’ll take a nice, average person. Surely we can’t do worse.

Right! And what they don’t GET is that it’s not the job of the politician to ‘fix’ the problems of the world, but to get out of the way of the rest of society, by creating and maintaining Freedom that allow the brains of the world (to entertain this dolt’s argument for just a second) to introduce and foster solutions.
What has your government solution gotten us in the 20th C. pal but misery, suffering and death.
Let’s think about that for a second...NO THANKS.
Yes, I’ll take average folk that defend this nation and allow her finer citizens to innovate, create and solve problems like we’ve done from the dawn of this nation.
Amen to that, neighbor- remember what Bill Buckley said about "rather be governed by the first hundred names in the phone book than the Harvard Faculty?
Here's what a friend of mine said a while back:
"Roger Simon misses the point. He may be sitting around waiting for a charismatic character on a white horse to lead the masses, but I'd prefer a normal, uncharismatic person that doesn't have delusions of grandeur or starts believing in the press bullshit that they're the next Messiah. I'd rather have a wastewater treatment plant operator, a cattle rancher, or a diesel mechanic than somebody who has spent their life in politics manipulating people. I want somebody who can look at things like cap and trade and instead of moaning about "green jobs", wants to know what will happen to all the other jobs? ...I want somebody who has made decisions that had actual consequences to their lives and their fortunes (not just somebody elses) and lived and learned from/with those same consequences."
