The 'elitism' trap works every time
by zoroeltoro

The voters who turned their backs on Gore and Kerry because of perceived 'elitism' have sunk deeper into the economic abyss since 2000, thanks to their personal insecurities. They can't even afford to pick up the tab for that beer they wanted to have with Georgie.

They're also the same people who sent relatives and loved ones off to fight in Bush's war while Georgie's oil contractor friends went from being millionaires to billionaires.

Now they're even more insecure about 'elitists'. It's a self-feeding disaster.

This voting block should have learned its lesson about the 'elitism' trap by now, but they aren't the ones reading websites like this.

Amazing- did you not read the article? To assume that "they" are not reading this article is totally elitist. People don't want elitist Dems because of just such opinions. People not from the Northeast or westcoast are not deprived or deficient and hold their opinions for solid reasons. Dems used to understand and respect the heartland but no more.

But hey, Hillary does. She drops her g's and drinks whisky and tawks like she hunts and fishes and goes bowlin' an' shootin' every weekend. THAT is condescension. She made -- what was it? 108 million?? They are ALL rich up there. Have you heard her in a black church? She gets this kind of faux patois... wince. Look, don't you see what is happening? At least Obama is genuine. He doesn't pretend to love Big Macs. My grandaddy was a white racist South Carolina dirt farmer with no floor in his shack. I don't even make 30k. I just happen to like latte'; it tastes good. I make it myself. Cheap. I'm still paying my student loan off from cheap colleges. Single Mom, shitty car, liberal to the bone, and if one more idiot calls me an elitist because i READ and THINK and am not in a state of beer swilling illiteracy (it is, by the way, romantic elitism to pretend that the poor are not very often also pretty illiterate...) I may consider looking up that old aunt of mine who can shoot a fly off a rail fence... (That woman can't even read. But if I say shoot, she'd probly shoot. I could just say "Look out! It's a communist democrat!") But see, I don't mean that. I'm for gun control. Like all elitist Ivy League liberals who are OUT of TOUCH with "THE PEOPLE".

But you resent being called an "elitist." Beautiful.

Again with the same old shit, Wolf.

How about actually saying something rather than parsing words. Let me write your next post for you:

"Parsing words" Any evidence?

Feel free to think about context before responding with your favorite word (bigot). And, um, you responded to me. Most of the time I do ignore your posts. I will continue on with that.

"And, um, you responded to me."

Yes, I know.

Feel free to go fuck yourself.
