My view is that a political "elitist" is (a.) one who believes ordinary citizens really do not know enough to be elected to high political offices. (b.) belives one who has not graduated from an Ivy League, or comparable (are ther any?) institutions of higher education is not fit to hold public offices (c.) one who understands that ordinary citizens most likely are not capable of raising their own children, so we must have child care, nor of providing their family a home, so we must have Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not capable of.....you name it, they will come up with a program for it......and (d.) believe if US citizens are not certified Liberal Democrats, or Liberal Democrats they do not deserve to have wealth or be elected to political office, which really are not meant for "common" people, after all!
What do the rest of you think of when you see the term "elitist" in a political context?
