Now, I don't see the above statement being any different than what Will posted and these two posts highlight one of the major problems we have in politics: us vs them.
Hear, hear!
The reason politicians like us/them categories is that it taps into anger and anger is a strong short term motivator. Get your base pissed at 'them' and they are much more likely to come out and vote.
Interesting how the “educated, thoughtful” Left and the “ignorant, reactionary” Right seem to fall for this in equal measure. Funny thing that “human nature.”
