http://www.aspentimes.com/article/20...LY06/198091324 I have to judge this a pretty stupid essay. "Each candidate is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of special- interest groups, ranging from gay, lesbian and transgender people to children of illegal immigrants to working mothers to evangelical Christians." Really? There's been a lot of pandering to transgendered people and children of illegal immigrants, has there? "There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man." I really don't think so this time. They don't have a horse in this race, I think they'll largely stay home. "The victimhood syndrome buzzwords -- "disenfranchised," "marginalized" and "voiceless" -- don't resonate with him. "Press 'one' for English" is a curse-word to him." Yeah, because he considers himself to be disenfranchised and marginalized by the children of illegal immigrants and transgendered people. Which is stupid. "Most important, the Angry White Man is ****ed off. When his job site becomes flooded with illegal workers who don't pay taxes and his wages drop like a stone, he gets righteously angry. When his job gets shipped overseas, and he has to speak to some incomprehensible idiot in India for tech support, he simmers....He also votes, and the Angry White Man loathes Hillary Clinton. Her voice reminds him of a shovel scraping a rock. He recoils at the mere sight of her on television. Her very image disgusts him, and he cannot fathom why anyone would want her as their leader. It's not that she is a woman. It's that she is who she is. It's the liberal victim groups she panders to, the "poor me" attitude that she represents, her inability to give a straight answer to an honest question, his tax dollars that she wants to give to people who refuse to do anything for themselves." This is all bull****. Hillary Clinton isn't any more pandering than any other politician, nor is she especially planning to spend more tax dollars on social programs than other democratic candidates. The AWM doesn't like her because the idiots he listens to have been mindlessly badmouthing her since her husband first was elected. They don't really know why they hate her at this point, they just do. And for God's sake, what kind of idiot doesn't mind Bush spending a trillion dollars on what has amounted to a grossly ineffective social program for the betterment of Iraq and then gets his panties in a wad about the idea that maybe a couple of poor kids might get to go to college here in America? Does he think he's not going to have to pay for that just because Bush doesn't have the testicular fortitude to raise taxes? "There are many millions of Angry White Men. Four million Angry White Men are members of the National Rifle Association, and all of them will vote against Hillary Clinton, just as the great majority of them voted for George Bush. He hopes that she will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2008, and he will make sure that she gets beaten like a drum." Except, see, these guys are the Republican base, so they aren't really relevant. These are the guys who are going to vote Republican no matter what. Moderates and independants who might vote one way or another will decide the election. |

At least, that's been my experience. shrug It rather reminds me of some of the reactions from Creationists when you start asking them to support their claims of fact. snip Kermit |
