It is intuitively obvious to an idiot that this legislation of last week is contrary to good public policy. If you want to ban political advertising altogether, fine. But it is patently stupid to impose arbitrary restrictions as to what someone can say in an ad during the last 60 days of the campaign.

I think you shouldn't call anyone an idiot and while we disagree a great deal, I think that rule should include yourself as well. In fact, dissing yourself can be bad for your health even when you ARE an idiot. So, another way you could have said the above that would have been less self denigrating is....."It is intuitively obvious to me [sans idiot]............"

No need to thank me!!
