I'm driving to pick up some hay this morning and Beck is on. He has Jim DeMint on the line for a good 1/2 hour and for the most part he did pretty well, I suppose, but on one issue he surely screwed the pooch.
He asserted that the reason Republicans did not win this last election is because the GOP has failed to properly express conservative positions.
While that may have been a contributing factor, it is not the overriding reason.
The main reason they did not gain the Oval Office is because a thin majority of Americans are stupid, lazy, corrupt, and feel perfectly entitled to receive the better things in life on the backs of others.
Perhaps the senator was playing politics there - after all, how well would it go over were he to blast it across the land that he thinks the majority of Americans make morons look like aerospace engineers? Still, it bothers me to hear someone either getting it wrong or just plain lying in order not to offend the delicate sensibilities of people whose opinions are shit to begin with.
