Nah. I give up. You're right. He should say what he thinks, by all means.
It really helps tell who people shouldn't vote for if the candidate is candid.
As if we haven't had enough Democrats tell us TEA party 'birthers' (gratuitously noting that not all TEA party people are 'birthers') we're "dumbasses" without electing a Republican to do that?
He crapped in his messkit.
Part of what people are sick of is having some sanctimonious peckerhead tell them they are stupid, and that the all wise gubmint will handle it.
His contempt for his supporters will bite him in the end. Just because he displayed it in what he thought was private and discreet company doesn't mean he meant it any less, rather, that would be the time the candidate's true sentiments were voiced.
Blame whom you will, but he was the dumbass who said it.
I think it would be a service to the voters of America if each candidate was required to get drunk and answer questions when their political inhibitions were gone and all they would give is their gut-level stance.
