Reply #22: It's easy for you to blame the vote on "not thinking clearly"

[DainBramaged]

"With voters saying the were displeased with Dubya's performance, unhappy about the way the war is going, sickened by the economic conditions, but voting for him anyway -- there wasn't anything that could have influenced them. They're simply not thinking clearly. The financial machine could not have convinced them to dump Dubya."

The blame lies in the campaign, and it seems you want to blame the intelligence of the lemmings rather than the failure of the DNC and Kerry campaign. Remember the Swift Boat campaign? Or how about '3rd most liberal Senator'? Or the banning of Bibles?

The DNC reacted at every turn, and was always on the defensive, never on the attack.

"no evidence or rationale to support your theory other than there was no office in your town in New Jersey"

Try my county and nearly the entire state. Your generalizations and rationale to explain the loss are quaint, but if we had someone with balls running the campaigns instead of worrying about offending the base, we'd be discussing the Executive Orders Kerry would be issuing to roll back the damage by the BFEE instead of wringing your hands over the loss.

When we find a way to win the hearts and minds of the lemmings instead of pandering to the base, we'll return to power. Until then, we have four more years of hell to endure.
