I'm going Democrat and here's why!!!!!!!!!!!Obivious

[Jappa52]

Since when is being elite a bad thing?

Let's see we want elite pilots to fly our airplanes. We want elite doctors to operate on our children. We want elite businessmen running our corporations. However, we don't want an elite president? Of course... we want someone who is just like you and I to run our country; Someone "we can have a beer with."

Someone elected to be the leader of the most powerful country in the world should be considered elite. The job of being POTUS is not for the Joe Schmo's of this world.

You are confusing elite for professional… 

Professional – conforming to the standards of skill, competence, or character normally expected of a properly qualified and experienced person in a work environment.

Elite – a small group of people within a larger group who have more power, social standing, wealth, or talent than the rest of the group.

You have to earn the right to call yourself a professional but people can be born in to social standing, wealth and power none of which means they are any more qualified that you or I.  Talent can come from all walks of life and when you set one group on a pedestal you cut out all others.  The term ruling elite makes me think of a monarchy and that is not what this countries about.

What makes American great is that it doesn’t matter what your background is, if you are determined enough you can achieve anything.  To think otherwise only holds you back.

Everyone who voted Republican/Democrat in the last election will be voting the same this election, except for Armstrong Williams and a few others who are voting Democrat/voting at all for the first time because Obama is nominally "Black".

Republican voters will continue to ignore the fact that the Republicans do not in fact live up to the values expressed by the original poster, that Republicans are for example, quite explicit in their plans to allow more immigrants into the United States and that Republicans have succeeded in growing the Federal government ad government spending to unprecedented levels.

Democratic voters will continue to ignore the fact that Democrats have an awful track record for keeping this country out of wars, and that their party is in fact the "Greater Evil".

exactly   (snickers a little bit) why wouldn't we want  a royal family too? that's what is wrong with this country, a bunch of Joe schmo's started it! why on earth did we ever break away from those elitist Brit's?
oh wait , i know , we want the best most qualified, to fly our planes, and run our business,
i don't want to go to some doctor that thinks he is better than me, i want him to be a good doctor!
 i don't want someone in government who thinks he knows whats best for me, i want one that will do my bidding,
 most elitist snobs will have better things to do than that, unless there is gain in it for them!!
   might be a difference, by definition, in elite and elitist.
 Clinton was a good ol boy who you could go have a beer with, and by most accounts he was one of the most popular presidents in the last20 years! i even liked him, his only real messup was lieing to the people, but it was just about sex with an intern or was it?

How bout the "change"?   you should vote for someone who never once voted differently than ted kennedy has for the last 50 years.    well.. except when he voted "present".

Hey dudes, being elite and being elitist are two entirely different things. Elite can mean the best or most skilled members of a group. Elitist is a characteristic of or resembling a snob. Eagler said "elite" and I called him out on it. If he said elitist I would have said nothing. Eagler sorry I know the difference between elite and elitist.

wait a minute.  Someone like rox or some other brainwashed goon for the republicans or democrats will be along to tell us we're voting for "crackpots" or something.

keep up the good fight uptown!

I'm voting Democrat because I want my country to be liked by everyone!!   

But what if someone still doesn't like us. What if the message of fearless leader isn't absorbed by everyone and we are attacked like on 9/11? Who will defend us?  If America turns into a cowering nation that simply tries to get everyone to like us no matter what THAT costs, there will be no one to help us!  Well maybe we can get help from our new friends in Iran after our fearless leader, Neville Chamberlain is elected. 

Maybe our fearless leader will even be able to engineer the second Holocaust after making friends with those respectable visionaries in Iran. 

I get a tingle up my leg when I think of these things...
