“older white Americans”

I find Buttplug to be a joke. And a not at all amusing joke, either.

Buttercheeks will never attract a core Obama constituency: church-going African-Americans. His candidacy is DOA without them.

All the Dems have is socialist kooks and losers. When the NYT starts pushing Buttgag, it’s all over for them.
