How does that saying go?? "Crazy, Not Stupid"
Think about their support grouping:
Minorities: Cater to their "plight" and BOOM! You have their vote.
The Poor: Design and expand a welfare system and BOOM! You have their vote.
The Children: Teach (corrupt) them while in school long enough and when they get old enough and BOOM! You have their vote.
The Weak Minded: Fill the media airwaves with utter Bullsh*t, make them believe what they are selling is true and BOOM! You have their vote.
Its amazing isnt it?
