The reason people insult her is because she's an awful public speaker who comes off as quite dumb as she spits out buzz phrases and fails to answer the actual questions posed to her.

Who the hell are these "elitists" anyways? Is elitist is now a negative term used by Republicans to refer to educated people? I remember in the Obama run, when people brought up his education, Fox News would refer to him as an elitist. It's just another new buzz word that we'll hear used over and over again. And it's a shame because being smart should not have negative connotations.


I was actually surprised by your comment here, Bond.

Also: Being a simpleton is a negative thing in politics. Common sense, small town values, and a can-do maverick attitude should not qualify someone to be a politician. Not to say that these are bad things but they need to be coupled with intelligence and communicative abilities.

Haha, yeah, I like it when people to refer to Obama, or other people in general, as being part of the "intelligent, liberal elite" like it's a bad thing.
