O.k., I've been thinking about this for awhile now during this primary season. What am I talking about? Race. Barack Obama lost the white voters making less than $50,000 big time in Pennsylvania and this has been a trend and I am wondering why? If race isn't an issue for these white voters than why isn't he getting more of these folks? I know that not all are voting against him because he's black but I have to think that a lot are given the divide which makes me want tear some of these asshats' heads off and puke down their throats.I saw a poll today on MSNBC News about race in regards to the Pennsylvania primary just held. It asked white voters if the candidate's race was important in deciding who to vote for, 75% of those whites who voted for Hillary said yes and only 24% voted for Obama said yes. What is wrong with these people?!!! I am so fucking sick of this, "Oh he's black" or "Oh he's gay" bullshit. SO FUCKING WHAT?!! "Oh he's too black, oh wait he's not black enough" blah, blah, blah. Grow up already and act like an adult. God. How much lower can my respect for my fellow Americans reach? Because right now it's down in the shitter and headed at the speed of bullshit (roughly around a 100 pounds per hour) toward the Earth's core.
I am furious to the point of incoherence that there are that many racist Democrats out there!! I thought that the Democratic party was the progressive and accepting party?
The other thing that irks me is this constant need by the media to label and categorize voters into these stupid ass "groups." They talk about the "beer drinkers" vs. the "wine sippers," the "Nascar dads" and the "Soccer moms." The "Reagan Democrats" and "Starbucks drinkers" vs. the "Dunkin Donuts" coffee enthusiasts. Its starting to sound like one of these Japanese game shows where they pit people of different segments of society against each other on an obstacle course. Such as, "Office clerks" vs. "Tow truck drivers."
It's beyond silly, it's stooooooooopid. Let's not forget about the all important, "tea drinkers" and "Nose pickers vote!" I mean what's next? Toilet using Democrats vs. bidet using Democrats?
It is this kind of crap that makes people give up on the process.

The 800 pound gorilla in the room IS race.
Obama tried to talk to the country like an adult, but the conservative media insist on keeping the discussion at a 6th grade level.
I shake my head in despair.
Remember who runs this country. No we the people. It is they the corporations.
Who stood to gain the most by this long, long primary? The people who rake in millions of $$$$ in teevee adverts, radio adverts, print adverts.
They're making money hand over fist, and the people are getting screwed.
As long as this country continues to riducule people who have a better than average intellect and elevate beer drinking bowlers as people who really know what's good for America, we'll continue to have leaders like George W. Bush and failed presidencies.
I hear politicians all the time say things like "...Americans are too smart to belive such and such..."
That, of course, is pandering to Americans' vanity.
We are not too smart.
We're getting dumber by the decade, and there is proof out there to back this up.
It is so much easier to control stupid people than it is people who are critical thinkers.
Ask any totalitarian regime.
I found myself having a bit of an identity crisis when I realized that, by supporting Clinton, I had turned into a beer-drinking bitter redneck. Suddenly, supporting Obama was so...upscale and elitist. Damn, I always get it wrong!

You hit the nail on the head.
Riverwolf: Yeah I never fit into the right category and I'm damn proud of that now.
The way things have gone lately, I'm about to give up on the fucking thing and move somewhere else!
T&A: Fuck, me too. Let me know if you find a nice island somewhere and I'll let you know if I do too.
