"This election is not about issues!" This election is about lipstick.

Apparently the McCain campaign owns lipstick, and they're not sharing.

("This election is not about issues" quote and story here)

(I wonder how their supporters feel about the implications continually made by the campaign that they're stupid?)

Mostly, yes.

Democrats don't believe Republicans are stupid; Republicans believe Democrats are stupid. Democrats believe Republicans are evil.

I believe almost everybody is stupid, but at least I have a lot of evidence.

Not exactly . . . "Republican" has two disjoint meanings (like drugs[legal classification} <> drugs[medical classification] <> drugs[social classification]).
There are the people who believe in small government, fiscal responsibility, no foreign entanglements, etc. We haven't heard much from them lately, but I keep thinking there are still some of them out there.
Then there is the coterie of sociopathic hyenas who have taken over the party of the name.
I will not do the members of the first category (who are often just ignorant or sheltered, and only sometimes stupid) the dishonor of conflating them with the latter.

Obviously, my post was a major oversimplification.

But the people who believe in small government, fiscal responsibility, etc. aren't active Republicans, though they may have maintained enrollment in that party. (For that matter, I enroll in parties the American way: insincerely. At any given time, I pick the party whose primaries I want to vote in.)
