20. I agree, but there is a knack for lowering the rhetoric without lowering
the message. I had an un educated really nice guy work on my condo the last week. We had occasion to have limited discussions, the problem with the Dems (alot of us), is that we may not have time (because most of us work for a living and don't live off interest and trust funds) to be politically savvy (lingo is part of the fight), but if we put it in simple terms, with major underlying concepts behind the word, we will get it..

We don't have to explain the details, if the concepts are stated plainly and simply, the common man is far more knowledgeable than any of us educated, big worded, high-fullutin (no idea the spelling of the word, only an audible spelling) big concept people give them credit for. This is the acknowledgment that the Repuke's came to understand 20 + years ago.

That is the problem, the nuances and subtlety can not be easily communicated (which we get hung up in), but the general gist can. We are caught up in our own snobbery, without any intent. This worker, blew me away with his insight.
