To those of you who claim that you would vote for John McCain — who is consistently on the opposite side of the fence on pretty much every issue that is important to Democrats (Iraq, civil rights, the economy) — over Barack Obama because Hillary didn’t get the nomination: you are a motherfucking imbecile.
There’s a great article in the Washington Post which my Uncle Bill sent to me. It’s not long, but you get the idea pretty quickly. If you’ve been wondering why Obama took a hit last night in PA, this sums it up. Why? Because in-between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the state is filled with terrifically ignorant, misinformed, and just plain dumb racists.
Every time Laura and I drive home, which takes us right through the heart of the state, we see it. It’s frankly a bit scary in some of those areas. The sad part is that a large number of deeply stupid people will affect the outcome of this race. If two terms of Bush didn’t make sense before, they should now.
