The only thing worse than Gingrich is those who vote for him

[Cyrano]

Newt Gingrich’s mouth is a never-ending source of diarrhea-flavored poison. And his voters are either deaf, brain dead, or totally insane. Who in their right mind could cast a vote for one of the most despicable human beings imaginable?

It seems fairly obvious that Gingrich voters inhabit a different universe than the rest of us. They feed on hatred and a demented world view. Their ignorance of reality is mind boggling. Their bigotry is disgusting. Their gullibility is beyond comprehension. Their blind rage is frightening. And Gingrich knows exactly how to whip them up into a frenzy.

At this point, there are no election returns from South Carolina, but if polls are to be believed, Gingrich might just win there. Could he become president? It's unlikely, but given the Republican’s talent for stealing elections, it’s possible. (Think George W. Bush.) That’s a terrifying prospect and we’d have some of the most ignorant people in the world to thank.

1. Deaf?

There are many of us in deaf/hard of hearing community here. Thank you very much.

2. You are so right.

I was pondering on this yesterday... at some point we have to accept that 50% more or less of the American electorate are a wastefield of ignorance, hate, prejudice and psychosis. They are holding this country - this world - back. And I'm afraid we are powerless to do anything about it. Oh sure, "education" over the long term.... But these forces of regressiveness continually show up - there are countless examples. It's no doubt part of the human condition.
