He was simply stating a quote, as in "it's been often said". I happen to think that's a silly quote, and offered some supporting comments as to why.
If I was an "elite", I simply would have dismissed him personally and moved on.

The only reason why I post this sort of thing is to see what you all think, being fishermen I'm sure we have views which may be unique when it comes to politics. Even though it is always dangerous ground, politics, along with religion, to discuss.
I see the television, fee television anyways as I cannot get myself to pay for tv, is chock full of ads for the Lt. Governor and the Governorship itself and I try my best to see who the best candidate is and whether they believe in what I believe in.
I like to believe I'm neutral/unenrolled and wait to see who promises what before I vote.

I agree, that's a very neat aspect of the boards...

Free TV is probably better anyway...the cable news channels are so stuffed with comment as news that unless you know which personalities are more objective it's a complete crap shoot for quality.

Which should be commended. There's way too much alignment with partisan views or manipulative campaigning messages.
