And when you add in cracks about Wal-Mart, McDonald's, and the "Christian Right" — all the things the more cultured avoid — then the architects of a supposedly populist party seem to be ignorant of their own constituencies.

He left out the generalized insulting of non-coastal regions, particularly the south. Now they have Howard Dean trying to talk about Jesus in Tennessee. I just hope he figured out that the Book of Job is in the Old Testament.

"High taxes, government regulation, racial quotas, and more entitlements won't hurt me since I have so much money at my own disposal anyway, but will at least make me feel good that we are transferring capital to the less fortunate."

I have always felt that this is why the ultra-wealthy are often liberals. If you take a percentage of infinite wealth, you basically still have infinite wealth. Simply put, they don't want us to work our way up to their level and have us barge in on the Country Club.

Cowboy you nailed it! Exactly. Liberals are nothing really other than benovolent( in fact, malevolent) plantation slave owners.

Have you ever noticed (on TV or in a movie) our hero pulls into a small town you just KNOW the town is a hotbed of (take your choice 1 racism, 2 corruption 3 murder..etc) and the only one who is fighting this is (usually) a single mother who's working as a waitress (for below minimum wage of course) and going to night school to learn to be a lawyer. The town sheriff is obviously corrupt, the pastor of the local church is 1 a pedophile 2 beats his wife 3 a closet nazi, and if not one of these he's a wilber milktoast.
