Reply #9: Unfortunately, the mentality that needs to be addressed is a kid-type

[calimary]

mentality - among far too many adults. Too trusting and unquestioning, you know, the way domineering parents expect their kids to be - to make life at home a whole lot easier. The way very young children usually are. That's the way the GOP prefers the electorate - trusting and unquestioning, while they go about their dirty business unchecked. Just the way they like it. The way things ought to be.

Particularly true when you consider how embarrassingly dumbed-down most of our population has become, aggravated by statements from people like kkkarl rove that "too much education isn't necessarily a good thing." Some of these well-meaning but gullible people probably have to be talked down to - at a level at which they can understand. It's probably why they fell for bush in the first place - because he was mentally at their level. I even read some newspaper account, back when bush was consistently referred to as the "popular wartime president," and one woman was quoted as saying she liked bush "because he talks so the poor people can understand."

Just galling it is, I tell ya. What WON'T these shitheads try to exploit?
