The Messaging Myth

The "messaging" is all the talk of the land these days. The GOP is good at messaging. The Democrats are not good at it. If most Americans had enough brain cells rubbing together, messaging would not be effective as it is. What ever messaging the GOP sends it is obvious bullshit for the critical minded. Anyone with any kind of critical brain activity could see through all this disingenuous and meaningless "claptrap".

All of these two word memes are pointless upon even a mild examination about their meaning. Programming does not work on a smart and informed mind that can take things apart and examine them.

The fact that much of this word garbage works speaks to the ignorance and shallowness of a large part of our population. The word salad we seem to be attracted to is a national disaster and has been for over 30 years now. The only thing trickling down to the masses these days is yellow and wet.

Sadly, smart things are in the minority. If we want to win, we need to explain out ideas to dumb people..yes, it is arrogant, but true. The fact is, the GOP knows how to lure rubes in, and unless we want to get stomped by them, we need to also.

it is useless to be as smart as ten average people when they send a dozen of them to kill you.
