Americans prefer simplicity when it comes to politics.[/DIV]And simplicity (speaking to emotion rather than intellect) is the forte of the Republican party.That's the delemma of course, and why I have little hope for our political system. Any politician who actually attempted to explain reality in an objective, factually consistent manner and make realistic demands of the American people would never make it past the primaries. So instead we end up either with an arrogant, simple-minded prick, or a coward who knows the kind of problems we face, but has no intention of pushing for any real change.
