Reply #16: Reporting In Worst Terms=Republican Advertisement

[LoneStarLiberal]

Just because you believe something, even something that there is quantitative evidence to believe, doesn't mean you should report it in the worst possible terms.

Most of the time I tend to agree with your point of view. But the brutal facts of the situation are that when you report this point of view in this manner you are convincing no one and bucking to end up on some Bush/Cheney 2004 propaganda about "what liberals think about YOU." That's exactly what we don't need regardless of what polls or our own evaluations of the average American voter tell us.

Instead of calling the average American voter stupid, offer up some alternatives to help educate voters (in the broadest possible sense in terms of public education reform and in the more narrow sense of campaign ethics).

Simply calling someone stupid is a great way to insure they won't listen to you. In the end statements like this only reify the problem, not offer any useful solution.
