That Old College Try

In a post titled "Glimpse into the mind of a young ohio [sic] bush [sic] voter," a DemocraticUnderground user called "RawMaterials" illustrates the intellectual superiority of Democrats (quoting verbatim):

Yesterday i was out with some old college acquaintance's, the election came up(very easy with me) and i asked whom they voted for here are there response's, age, and vague reasoning. This should help us understand what is needed to get this kind of voter next time. there ages range between 21-23 male, smart, athletic, but not "into" politics or news.

note, this was in a car ride home i didn't have time to relay get into a discussion and set them straight or open up there minds to reality. but this is still good info to work with.

The first male, said he was undecided all the way up to election day, and went with bush. here were the reasons, first "I knew what bush track record was and what to expect, but not with Kerry." "Kerry could have gotten elected and just removed all the troops from Iraq, and then one week later we would be getting bombed".

The second male, said he didn't watch any debates(thats when i chimed in so you voted for bush, because there would have been no way if you watch the debates you could have voted for him, he laft)his main reason for voting for bush is that he never relay new what Kerry stood for, and didn't want to vote for the "anybody but bush logic".

...he laft...

I 'laft' too, at the 'superior intellect' of the left. Funny how that superiority never seems to include spelling or grammar.

A spell checker probably wouldn't help this kid.

The Spelling Chequer:
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar writ
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

"I 'laft' too, at the 'superior intellect' of the left. Funny how that superiority never seems to include spelling or grammar."

Grammar and spelling are tools of the bourgeosie used to oppress the proletariat! Language is the intellectual property of the masses and belongs to the people!

Or some such crap like that. Liberals LOVE illiteracy as it keeps them in power. Their subservient dependencies enable despicable beings like Feinstein, Kerry, Kennedy, Schumer, and etc. ad nauseum as they are addicted to the welfare state. The unwashed also love how the liberals "accept" them just the way they are in the name of diversity...yet, odd, isn't it, that you never see the homeless at events attended by these same liberal elitists?

What is the age and vague reasoning of your response.

Obviously if these were college acquaintances, his was certainly a barely passing acquaintance.

The scariest about this article is that this person was out with some old college acquaintances.

Sure his parents are happy they wasted their money on this HIGHER education!
