D'Oh

clipped from www.nytimes.com It was interesting to watch the Republican Party lose touch with America. You had a party led by conservative Southerners who neither understood nor sympathized with moderates or representatives from swing districts. They brought in pollsters to their party conferences to persuade their members that the country was fervently behind them. They were supported by their interest groups and cheered on by their activists and the partisan press. They spent federal money in an effort to buy support but ended up disgusting the country instead. It’s not that interesting to watch the Democrats lose touch with America. That’s because the plotline is exactly the same. The party is led by insular liberals from big cities and the coasts, who neither understand nor sympathize with moderates. They have their own cherry-picking pollsters, their own media and activist cocoon, their own plans to lavishly spend borrowed money to buy votes.

Except he's wrong when he says that Obambi isn't feared. It's that he isn't fighting them at all because they're doing exactly what he wants. He just says he wants to save money for instance.

Only the innumerate would believe that. Unfortunately, that now describes 90+ percent of the country.
