McCains bump in the polls

[lazs2]

and of course.. this...

"Voters in small towns and suburbs, forever mocked and condescended to by metropolitan liberals, are attuned to this disdain. Every four years, many take their revenge."

just look at the libs on this board.. they epitomize the elite ideal..  that somehow.. they are superior in thinking to the "right wingers" and "rednecks" on this board.

The sneering of mahr and michellle moore and the snide jon "make a funny face" stewart.. these are the hero's of the left.

They are somehow more clever and gifted.. they are the actors and the comedians and.. the "smart" people who love the arts (or love to look down their nose at people) the ones who go to plays and ride taxis and live in apartments and wear shoes that are made for concrete.

They think that we want to be like them but that we just don't know it.. we are too dumb.  They don't realize that we would rather die than be like them.. we would like to keep our guns so that we can take a few of em with us who try to force the issue too.

I can't remember who made the statement,but after Kerry's loss in 2004,a democrat made the statement that went like this,"We could have a great thing going here if voters were smart enough to see it."

Translation-People aren't smart enough to vote for what's best for them.

Which is exactly the attitude Toad's article talks about.

The polls were saying John Kerry was a shoe-in.

Polls are very unreliable...even with a 3-5 point margin of error.

I believe, even though it was virtually ignored, that Kerry lost that squeaker because of Osama Bin Laden's personal campaign advertisment for him on, I think, the Friday prior to the election.  Perhaps he will reprise the performance for Obama.

"Voters in small towns and suburbs, forever mocked and condescended to by metropolitan liberals, are attuned to this disdain. Every four years, many take their revenge."

re-quoted, for truth.

My 86 year old father in law.. brooklyn born & raised, put it like this:

'The angry working white man is never heard from until election day'

He's never been wrong on that one.. we don't answer telephone polls. We don't talk to reporters. We don't gather in groups and wail and moan, we rarely have time. We're too damn busy trying to keep what we have, put food on the table and getting the mortgage paid to 'play' at politics.

Toad and Laz have it nailed.
