Basically the premise is, the Republican Party is made up of powerful people wanting to stay in power and those who have been deceived by them, while the democratic party is made up of those who have seen through the lie and aren't interested in exploiting other people.
Of course there are "good old boys" in the GOP who fall into that category, and of course there is propaganda that blusters people into agreeing with them. But as I see it the dems also have their fair share of blustering and propaganda...like Michael Moore.
There are many people who vote both ways for the wrong reasons, but a lot of worth in both perspectives as well. University students tend to be democratic, so does that mean more intelligent people are democratic? Or do you look at the fact that the republican party is made up of older people, so those with more wisdom and experience are republican? Does being in a university make you more intelligent, or being older make you wiser? To say either party is based on a lie, I think, is a big mistake. It leads people to be completely baffled when "the lie" wins, and cripples them to change things in the future. Instead, if you are a hard core democrat, try to figure out why there is worth in the republican position and address it from there. I swear there is worth in there.
