This whole campaign has been a wasted opportunity for our voters. It’s a shame really. But a few things are clear:
People without ability resent ability.
People without intelligence resent intelligence.
People without confidence resent confidence and call it arrogance.
People without accomplishment tend to nit pick imperfections.
Newt is by far the most capable. But WTH, RS has 7 kids! Whoopee!
That should be printed onto a motivational poster. Excellent analysis.
You nailed it.
Resentment
Envy
People with a little talent H8 those with a LOT of it.
But but but...dforest said Newt is too old. dforest brought up Newt’s AGE. In fact he placed age first, arrogance second in the sentence.
I brought up Ronald Reagan to dforest.
Then I read that dforest says people don’t like Newt because of certain personality traits they perceive, not that they disagree with or dislike what he says.
That must be the arrogance.
Age, arrogance, any old port in a storm, as the saying goes.
Whatever it takes, is another way of putting it.
Just throw it all up against the wall and hope something sticks.
Meanwhile, worship at the feet of one who can’t hold a qualification candle to Newt, and whom many dislike as well.
Santorum sprinted off Romney’s lying attack ad money. That’s how he did it, while Romney left HIM alone.
Now he’s somehow annointed and legitimate while Newt isn’t, and it’s all Newt’s own doing?
dforest spinning like a top is hard to follow. Dizzying, in fact.
