Voters in general are idiots when it comes to tax policy and economics, that's what politicians count on. I've lost track of how many educated people I've had to explain that their company provided health insurance isn't free or who it is that pays the majority of all taxes.

It's in the playbook...when you can't refute the message, go after the messenger. Diminish and dismiss the person making the statement if it doesn't jive with your candidate. Meanwhile the Sec. of State (D)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Brunner of Ohio has broken the law but wants to blame illegal voter registration on the previous secretary of state (R). 22 months past. 200,000 registration in question. This stuff needs to stop. Housing starts up.

"I think it is people in general that are making fun of him. He comes across as a bit of an idiot." Are we talking about Joe, Bush, or both? ;o) I was initially offended about the assertion that Joe is a typical American, but then I thought about it. If the leader of the country is an idiot, and the people put up with him, what does that say about the people? Patricia is absolutely correct. Joe is a typical American.
