"The voters are morons"
I have not the slightest doubt that Democrats are buffing up their "The voters are morons" theme for after the elections next november.
They're right. Us voters is morons.
Have you noticed that whenever Dems start in on their usual moral-equivalence-we-are-just-as-bad-as-they-are line, they always start with a little prologue, a sort of weasel-word proem?...something like, "Of course we deplore the horrid crime just committed by [terrorist group de juor]. BUT..........
Well Dems, the voters aren't going to notice the escape-clause. They are too stupid. All they will remember is that when you criticize the other guys, you are cool, bland...dispassionate.
But when it's time to condemn America, your eyes start to sparkle, your cheeks look rosy, you sit up straighter.....you sort of glow.
We've noticed.
America's enemies are vague abstractions but their own political enemies, well, that gets their juices gushing.
It's hard to miss if you are paying attention but most people are not. Good thing we can count on Leahy and Levin and Kennedy to flaunt their public orgasms until everyone notices, and everyone's sick.
