I've said it before, and sadly, sadly, sadly, I feel the need to say it again

The reason why the Republican Party is still in control--and they are, electoral victories be damned--is because they have accepted, and learnt to use to their advantage, something that Democrats still fight to deny:

Most people in this country are rock-bone-stick-stupid. Now, that's obviously one of my more cynical pronouncements. But, read this (via Think Progress) and tell me you can come up with another explaination.

The Columbian reports today that Raymond Denny, a 64-year old man from La Center, Washington, recieved a thirteen-question survey in the mail from the RNC, and that one of the questions implied that the health care reform bills before Congress would purposely discriminate against people who affiliated with the Republican Party

A spokesman for the RNC has now described the mailing as “inartfully worded.”

Oh, don't sell yourself short, RNC. I'd say it's very arfully worded...if you accepted what I assert you've accepted. And the proof of it is that even though this is being called (and is) "shameful" "fear-mongering"...you're still going to knock any chance we had of meaningful health reform down flat.

Way to go.
