In election 2008, don’t forget Angry White Man
Aspen Times Weekly ^ | 2/9/2008 | Gary Hubble

Posted on 02/18/2008 12:34:17 PM PST by econjack

Most important, the Angry White Man is pissed off. When his job site becomes flooded with illegal workers who don’t pay taxes and his wages drop like a stone, he gets righteously angry. When his job gets shipped overseas, and he has to speak to some incomprehensible idiot in India for tech support, he simmers. When Al Sharpton comes on TV, leading some rally for reparations for slavery or some such nonsense, he bites his tongue and he remembers. When a child gets charged with carrying a concealed weapon for mistakenly bringing a penknife to school, he takes note of who the local idiots are in education and law enforcement.

He also votes, and the Angry White Man loathes Hillary Clinton. Her voice reminds him of a shovel scraping a rock. He recoils at the mere sight of her on television. Her very image disgusts him, and he cannot fathom why anyone would want her as their leader. It’s not that she is a woman. It’s that she is who she is. It’s the liberal victim groups she panders to, the “poor me” attitude that she represents, her inability to give a straight answer to an honest question, his tax dollars that she wants to give to people who refuse to do anything for themselves.

“There just aren’t enough Angry White Men.”

Sad but true. Obama’s already talking mandate.

"I want the government out of my life. It f's up everything."

The day this country has more people who don't pay taxes voting, is the day this country jumps the shark. It's all downhill from there.

Might as well figure out which country is the 2nd best and move there and hope you can outlive that country coming to the same conclusion.

I sent the article to a few select friends. Three of them (female persuasion) were quick to point out there are a lot of angry white women, too ... especially those whose husbands’ livelihoods are in jeopardy, or who are working single parents.

My wife literally has a physical reaction when she sees the creature on TV, absolutely cannot stand to see her, even on screen.

Hello? You are describing hard working AMERICANS right here, and I betcha there are quite a number of HARD WORKING WOMEN, BLACK AMERICANS, HISPANIC AMERICANS, AND ASIAN AMERICANS that agree with this analysis, not just ANGRY WHITE MEN!

We are all called HARD WORKING TAXPAYERS and we had better not be forgotten..........

Because the stupid 'Pubbies front-load their primaries to states that allow crossovers and ''independents'' to vote, thus insuring WAY too much input from non-Pubbies.

The only way to cure this is to somehow take over the RNC and tell these states that, henceforth, their primaries are to be closed ... or else they lose their delegates.

Somehow, given the current and likely near future landscape of the GOP, this may be a daunting task.

Many of us feel that way, but we can’t say it in public, or the PC police will get us.

p1$$ on the PC Police. Maybe its because I am a bit older than the
average guy on the street, but if I would have listened to the
PC Cops, my two daughters would have skipped college for the
Adult kids still on Ritalin meeting! Speak up folks...the politically
correct are wrong...as usual.
