If This Be Elitism, Then Make the Most of It!

I just heard, perhaps, the stupidest woman in the world on NPR. She's at a McCain townhall. She says she's undecided (right there is the entry for the award). The economy is her #1 issue. She recounts that she's had some hard times of late. She's been laid off four times in the last eight years. Started a business, but it failed. Has to take a job as a security guard in order to get health insurance, even though she has an engineering degree.

McCain promises tax cuts to create jobs.

She decides to vote for McCain because of his foreign policy experience.

I kill myself and write this post from Heaven.

It's not like you think it might be.

cutting taxes is GREAT foreign policy.

lex - cutting taxes can be foreign policy... f'r instance, McCain knocked 1.5% off the Irish corporation tax rate in his debate speech. (it's already ridiculously low at 12.5%, but he referred to it being 11%)

gabba,

i can see how you and i probably should agree to disagree on the idea that low corporate taxes and unapologetic, militaristic support of Israel are the cornerstones of any foreign policy.
