NorthSideSox72 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 3, 2008 -> 02:38 PM) There's reasons for this. In a nutshell, the public as a body is dumb. You have to pander to the lowest common denominator which is a pretty big chunk of the electorate. It's not ideal, but you need to get elected before you do anything. To do that you have to BS to some degree. There's no way around it. Reminds me of one of my fave movie quotes... A person is smart. People are stupid, dangerous animals. Bonus points if anyone can name the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that and their policies are out of touch with the majority of the political world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many of these candidates are one-issue myopic and just can not put together a plan in the areas that most of America is also concerned about.
