Thread Name: BS: Stop Blaming The Republicans!
Subject: RE: BS: Stop Blaming The Republicans!
The phrase "uneducated pinheads with an attention span measuered in seconds" was not meant to apply to Republicans or Democrats. It was meant to apply to the vast majority of the Ameican population who are unaware of what is going on politically but vote for someone anyway.
For example, after the recall election in California a UCLA student was quoted as saying he voted for Arnold because he thought it would be cool to have Arnold's signature on his diploma. Or the lady in Ohio who we heard say her husband had been unemployed for two years after being laid off from his job at a manufacturing facility and they were in desparate financial straights but she was voting for Bush because he accepted Jesus as his personal saviour.
It's difficult to explain the issues to people like that but the Democrats keep trying instead of using better PR like the Republicans do.
