Reply #116: No, its not [View All]

A University of Michigan survey on 2002 showed that a significant percentage of self-identified 'moderates' stated that they felt that liberals idid not consider them and their opinions important.

And large amounts of anecdotal evidence cannot be ignored in politics (any political scientists in the crowd, here?).

*Beyond all that*, this thread and its response sorta' prove my point; a lot of people here don't care what the moderates who voted for Bush think. At all. They "know" that they are stupid/ignorant/brainwashed/evil. Now, let's say that one of these people, worried that they might have made a mistake and doing some research, read this thread. What would they conclude? That a large number of DUers are open-minded, tolerant intellectuals that are trying to make the world better, or that we're a bunch of vicious elitists that don't give a tinker's &#$% about them?
