Election proves Mencken wrong
This quote about the election is a bit late, but I still like it:
H. L. Mencken said that no one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American people. Well, George Soros, Barbra Streisand and a lot of their friends just did.[Mark Steyn, “Condescending Dems still don’t get it,” Chicago Sun-Times, 11/7/04.] Posted by Lawrence Auster at November 16, 2004 08:00 AM | Send Comments
Have any of you actually visited Streisand’s weird pink and black web site? I sent the link around a week or so ago to my friends as a bit of humor and it got a huge laugh. You have to see this thing to believe it.

I understood (sort of) why (the last gasp of) a conservative leaning populace cast their votes for Mr. Bush, but was it really “intelligent” to do so? Of two evils, choose neither.

I wasted my time anyway in light of the fact New York had zero chance to go to Bush. More importanly, Bush opposes my position on immigration which to me is as or MORE, urgent than Iraq. |
