Michelle Bachmann's intelligence isn't the issue. Like Palin and W, she wants to appear less educated, because that enhances her brand with a "she's just one of us" vitality. None of these people are stupid. You can't get where they are if you're stupid. Ad hominem attacks result from laziness. Zero in on the issues. When we attack the personalities we are allowing the Republicans to choose the ground we fight on.
^^^^ CB:I very much agree with this. The simulated "regular person" act pandering to American anti-intellectualism is vintage Reagan. None of them are stupid. They are frauds and demagoges ( i can never spell that). They are big time liars. A main characteristic of the Tea Party is its mendacity. Charles Brown @Richard "these people were born a third base and think they hit a home run all this .." ^^^^ This points to a central Tea Party Lie. Most Tea Partiers are middle to upper income. They are the types who declare the USA the greatest country in the history of the world AND they are among the main material beneficiaries of this "American Greatness" they announce. So, what a fraud for them to be attacking the US government which has done more for them than the vast majority of the People. It's such an obvious fraud. They are Spoiled , Whining Brats. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/15/us/politics/15poll.html Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated Charles Brown ...the US government which has done more for them than the vast majority of the People, but of course, they have and purvey the self-serving delusion that they are these Great Individuals who accomplished their greater prosperity all on their own, by themSelves, independently of society, government and others - NOT ! They have the bourgeois libertarian delusions of grandeur. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
