(GAVol @ Jul 11 said:IMO, this is a perfect example why Democrats are having trouble winning elections. There are two choices for the party that is in the minority: 1) Lament how stupid you think the voters are and stay in the minority or 2) come up with better ideas and provide a viable alternative.
Trying to win an election based on "We are not them" seldom works.
I agree 100%. The article posted by OWB reveals the cynicism and low regard with which some dems or liberal elite view the electorate. Of all those I know that voted for Bush, I don't know a single one that fits the characterization in that article. This attitude of condescension and lack of understanding of how people view issues is the real reason dems haven't been winning elections.
