I have always been amazed at the willingness of Bubba to believe a
Republican "lie" over a Democratic "fact."
Wassup?
Well, I have a theory:
My hunch is that Bubba does not respond well to "intellectual
arguments." The kind you get so often in Liberal circles.
Bubba operates from the "GUT." NOT THE BRAIN! OK? Get it?
Indeed, among Bubbas the brain is probably their least favorite
organ! Need proof? Fox Network? Talk Radio?
The beauty of Republican lies is that they simply do not appeal to
the brain AT ALL.
They are outside of logic and therefore need not fear "logical and
reasonable" argument.
That's why for example, Gore "lost" those debates with Dubya in 2000.
IF THE DEMOCRATS AND KERRY ARE GOING TO WIN IN NOVEMBER THEY MUST
ABANDON ALL LOGIC AND REASON NOW!
FORGET THE HEAD, GO FOR THE GUT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE BUBBA LIVES.
Of course, there will be cries of "class warfare" but so be it! It
will work in November! Especially THIS November!
Just "lecturing" Bubba like a school marm won't work! It's a total
turn off to the Bubba voters, (who probably hated teachers and
school! Right?).
That's really the "secret appeal" of Howard Dean and Nader to some
Democrats!
They are not afraid to be PASSIONATE! AND UNREASONABLE
AND ILLOGICAL! They are capable of doing a PRIMAL SCREAM that shocks
the intellecutal elite.
AND ALAS, THEY CAN SHOOT FROM THE GUT WITH THE BEST REPUBLICANS!
Kerry is starting off a bit too "Gore-esque" in my opinion. But,
it's early, and he can change, and he has Dubya's catasprophic record
to fall back on.
BUT STILL, UNLESS THE DEMOCRATS LEARN THAT LOGIC AND REASON AND "GOOD
MACRO-POLICIES" ARE USELESS WITH THE BUBBA VOTER; THEY COULD LOSE
AGAIN IN NOVEMBER.
And, Kerry's "daring" corporate tax cut proposal was too cute by
half. But still, it's early. But beware, don't "turn off" your
angry middle class base by trying to be "Bush-Lite!"
Most middle class people would love to be anti-Dubya, if they
had "permission" and they didn't feel trapped in a MIDDLE CLASS
REPUBLICANISM; where Dennis and Kenny-Boy get billions in tax cuts,
while the middle class gets homophobic rhetoric and other "wedge
issues" to chew on! (Is it time for the "Flag-Burning Amendment"
yet?)
MY ADVISE TO THE KERRY CAMP IS QUIT TRYING TO BE SO CAREFUL, AND SO
GOD AWFUL BORING! Fire your speech writers, who I suspect worked for
Al Gore not too long ago!
LET THE DEANIACS WRITE SOME SPEECHES! YES!
THEN WATCH DUBYA AND NADER FALL AWAY IN YOUR REAR VIEW MIRROR!
