Quote:I think Blickers has given us a good snapshot of the contempt the so called progressive elite holds for the people and voters they claim to serve. i.e. the dummies care only about what affects them directly; they have a very short attention span; and they don't mind if their "leaders" lie to them.
Really, George? You've posted on politics on this board for how many years, yet you are supposedly unfamiliar with the concept of people voting more on "bread and butter" issues that affect them and their ability to live and support their families directly than on the contrived scandal of the month the Republicans come up with?
I would indeed say that any voter is foolish if they are near or at retirement age and they let Republicans talk them into believing that Emails are more important than the Republicans' plans to end Social Security and Medicare as we presently know them, to turn them into "means-tested" welfare programs. Unless, of course, the voter is so well financially established that the Republicans' tax cuts for the wealthy would overbalance the loss they would suffer from doing away with SS and Medicare-for those wealthy voters, a Republican vote would make sense. For anyone else near or at retirement age, they have to be nuts to vote Republican.
Keep dreaming that Emails are going to do it as an issue for the GOP this year, George. Despite the Republicans' best efforts, it's running out of steam already as an issue.
