*************
Yet millions of glassy-eyed zombots will vote for Reagan again!
Why Ronald Reagan?  Why not Arthur Godfrey or George Fenneman or Harry
Von Zell?  If you want some old fogey, dead or alive, who can sit
at the head of a conservative administration, why not any of those
equally qualified gentlemen?  If it is conservative policies you
want, why not elect a statesman rather than an actor, a humanitarian
rather than a puppet?  Or would they really be electable on the strength
of their policies alone... perhaps those policies which do not benefit the
voting masses can only be elected by having them sold to the masses
by such a slick salesman as Reagan?
*************

Why is it that people stoop to techniques such as question the intelligence
of people because of their ideals. It really makes me sick to see some-
body try to make their point not by attacking the policies, not by attacking
the man, but attacking those who support him, by calling them insipid and
uninformed. Maybe they feel oh so much better than the rest of the world
for pointing out everybody else's mistakes, but as far as I'm concerned,
it's fairly stupid to insult another person's intelligence merely on
which candidate he prefers. Go ahead and use this technique, I guess. 
Actually, I don't think I have any way of stopping you. I just hope that 
there are are enough people out there who can rely on themselves rather
than somebody else to decide if they are making a wise choice.
