jmreire wrote: So 300'000 people who voted for Casey in the presidential election are "haters " that's a pretty broad brush you are using there. Would you care to explain what would turn 300'000 ordinary decent people into "haters"?? . Would have to be something extremely bad in my opinion......but enlighten us

jmreire wrote: » I'm pretty sure that they do not consider them selves as haters......hate is a very strong word to use to describe people with. Victim's might be a better description? And for sure, there are much more than 300'000 out there... Higgins played a clever game in the Presidential race.... first he would not confirm if he would run or not... so all the time the clock was ticking. Then he declared that he would run for a 2nd term... and the race began. So until Casey made his traveller speech, Higgins was a dead cert. Then from the very back of the field Caesy gallops into 2nd place. Had the race lasted a bit longer... what's the betting that he would get more than 300'000 vote's? It's immaterial now of course,and we will never know for sure... none the less, it's an interesting question.

While he has that common touch, common sense appeal to some people, he is also painfully inarticulate. The fact that his comments were right at the end of the campaign probably helped him as he gained 22% based on a single comment, pretty much.

People are sick to death of "Articulate Speaker's" They could not care less about articulate speakers... they have been listening to articulate politicians for years... and you know what? They have been lied to and misled so many time's ... so much that they just don't give a damn anymore about "Articulate Speakers" ., Casey was like breath of fresh air. The more Casey is bad mouthed, the more people will say " He must be doing something right" or " he could not be much worse , so I will give him a vote, he says it like it is" And you don't have to be very articulate to "say it like it is" Anyone running for the election's now, would want to take Caseys viewpoint seriously....the traveller issue he raised won't just go away.
