My experience is that much of the US electorate can now be divided into two categories. The Archie Bunkers who get opinion from Fox and or Rush/Beck and their like, and those who obtain news from MSM.
The Archies are interchangeable and indistinguishable. And largely republican.
Those who get news and form their own opinions are diverse.
Got to go with my experience.
I see you love self justification via stereotypical generalizing also. Yup, definitely politician material........![]()
Anyone who loves or hates their country is a politician. Only the completely apathetic aren't.
There are the apathetic, there are the rabidly fanatical, the blindly partisan (yup, in all political parties), the personal paradigm justifiers (can be included in the latter two categories) and then there are the rest of us who see though the BS rhetoric and spin on all sides. We're called rational, independent thinkers and we tend to run the gamut between Blue Dogs and RINOs though we also hold some positions that could be considered far left and/or far right by the partisan/rabid critters.
