Intellectual oligarchy? That's rich coming from the party who's motto lately seems to be "Stupid Republicans should sit down, shut up, and let the smart Democrats in government rule the world." Intellectual oligarchy indeed.
I'd say a large majority of Americans likely qualify for intellectual status, provided of course we're only comparing them to House republicans
Yep, I'd bet those Dems would
MUCHrather work with "Not Stupid Republicans," given what the others have been up to lately. The shut up part might apply I guess, but the sit down part doesn't really float given it's the GOP who is bent on getting fewer Americans to vote, while the Dems are moving in the opposite direction and trying to get
all eligible voters to vote.
You
do realize that the propaganda arm of the GOP pretty much already did exactly that, right?
Ladies, do us a favor and stay home on election day because you all have no idea what the real world is about something like that? If someone in your office had personally fucked up the last 5 or 6 large contracts, showing a poor work ethic, a lack of fluency in subject matter, and largely unwilling to abandon the principles that were shown to be either ineffective or counterproductive with those contracts --- why the fuck would you keep that knob on the team, let alone let him commandeer the upcoming largest ever contract? The rage, she makes you dumb.
I'm actually laughing at this now. The republicans have been consistently wrong about pretty much everything since, what? 2000?
Voters want to hear good ideas, particularly ones that happen to coincide with the values we often tell the world we cherish. If you want to get mad about the GOP being offended that it's debunked policies and lack of ideas aren't being embraced by people who want to actually do their jobs, well tough shit. Obama's record on the economy, for the most part, makes the republicans look like petulant, self-absorbed gasbags who suffer amnesia. Just deal with it - something that should be easy for someone who holds no love for either party (as you've proclaimed many times). If you're so convinced these Dems will reverse Obama's achievements and show the world their true colors, then why not just sit back and watch it all happen? I realize those with a protective attachment to the party are probably disheartened by what it means when their chosen are not winning any popular elections, only making gains in DC by gerrymandering or when voter turnout is at it's lowest point since 1942. 2016 will not be pretty.
But why repeatedly throw that big, tall frosty mug of RAGE in your own face for all to see?
