You'd be lost without straw men
The topic is anti-intellectualism in mainstream political rhetoric.
A quick pass through the standard frame-correction algorithm: Greens et al radical minorities, no anti-technology rhetoric in Democratic mainstream, anti-technology not equal to anti-science not equal to anti-intellectualism. McCain as representative of the Republican mainstream going for cheap-shot anti-intellectual lines to pander to the great American anti-intellectual tradition. Grave disservice to America; contributing to the dumbing-down thereof. Etc. Etc.
Any comments on the actual topic?
