In my mind, with the correct messages and agenda, we could absolutely whip the Dems in early and election day vote. People aren’t responsive to a super rich guy who tries to talk about the middle class. Obama’s Bain campaign was a very successful vote suppression tool. Also, in retrospect, calling Romney a “BS’er” and “salesman” cemented the perception that Romney was full of it, pitching a deal so he could get in and give away the store to Wall Street.
A campaign centered on ending Corruption in Government would have pissed the “angry white guys” off enough to vote. Benghazi and Fast and Furious would have been things that move these folks. But alas, we chased the women vote by trying to sound peaceful and get-alongy. And in the end, they voted with their “lady parts”
The Obama campaign understands that their are a lot of stupid people in America. But instead of lamenting their existence, they figure out a way to speak to them and motivate them. We just sit back and say “damn, there are too many stupid people in this country.” instead of saying, “how can we get the stupids to vote for us.”
Stupid people don’t care about upward mobility in life. They care about sports, and ridiculous shows on TV. Stupid people are critical to society, and need to always exist so that smart people can get cheap labor for menial tasks. We need the stupid vote. And no, they don’t all want freebies.
I realize calling people stupid is brash and not very considerate, and I really don’t mean any offense. Its just a different value set.
‘bout time somebody spoke the truth. I am tired of the politically correct crap and limiting freedom of speech because we might “offend” somebody.
