| I think the problem with any intellectualism is that is really removes any gungho mentality that partisans need. I'd be hard pressed to find an intellectual Democrat or Republican to be honest. Only because intellectualism breeds some sense of real or fake relativism and an intellectual is always able to see two-sides of a coin, a true intellectual anyways. But do Democrats love those five dollar words? You bet they do. And do Republicans like their drawls and colloquialisms? Damn right. They love to speak how their voters speak. |
