That's not very articulate, but it sums up what I felt: I didn't think they were doctrinaire (read: stupid) enough to blindly go wherever their ideology took them on economic policy, but I fucking hated McCain's pandering to the agents of intolerance and felt that I couldn't risk yet another right-wing nutjob holding back the progress of civil rights.
Actually, I remember liking some of McCain's stated economic policies better, and I hope that the more tolerant candidate moves closer to McCain's rhetoric in that manner.
As the conservative writer David Frum recently pointed out, "College-educated Americans have come to believe that their money is safe with the Democratsbut that their values are under threat from Republicans."
Are you talking about this David Frum?
In January 2003, he released The Right Man: The Surprise Presidency of George W. Bush, the first insider account of the Bush presidency. Frum is widely cited as having authored the phrase "axis of evil," which he discusses in his book.[7] In fact, though, his original phrasing was "axis of hatred". As the title suggests, Frum also discusses how the events of September 11, 2001 redefined the country and the President. Frum writes, "George W. Bush was hardly the obvious man for the job. But by a very strange fate, he turned out to be, of all unlikely things, the right man."
Can you elaborate on how educated Americans feel that their money is safe with the Democrats?
