I'm always highly amused when socialists like A. Pelosi say ala Thomas "What's the Matter With Kansas" Frank that by voting for Republicans, we middle-class types are voting against our self interest. Why exactly do they believe that voting for socialists like Obama is a vote for ones self-interest?...of course unless you are another socialist.

At the bottom of their words lies a fear and contempt for the average American who they obviously believe is too stupid to make it without gov assistance. Their love of Big Government pervades their conversations. The question should not be why we vote Republican, but why do they hate the free-market after it has made them rich? But I'm sure that's a question they've never asked themselves.

Self-examination is not a liberal characteristic.

And I just feel like the Internet has really changed the climate at the political rallies. Because I remember the Bush rallies as being fun. But you know, a lot's happened. 9/11 and all that poisoning the well. The whole partisan Bush years and the war poisoned the well.

Well she has THAT right, but it wasn't the blogs on the RIGHT that were spewing the hate filled diatribes. It was those like Daily Kos and the Huffington Post that were filled with vitriol, especially after Sarah Palin was chosen as McCain's VP nominee. The Left just went completely berserk!

Alexandra Pelosi grew up in San Francisco, California, earned a B.A from Loyola Marymount University and graduated from University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication in 1993.

Wow, Loyola Marymount, that's real elite .

Avg SAT Critical Reading.......570
Avg SAT Math.........................585

A degree in Communication from USC, that Department which is so elite that it is a scandal that minority NCAA athletes cluster in it to avoid academic demands.

The people at the rallies she characterizes as yahoos probably have better credentials and accomplishments than she, and neither do they ride on their parent's coattails.

Just go to the site I posted and follow the instructions. Hey, I'm a newbie myself. 2 days. Good way to communicate with vast numbers of people at the same time.

Twitter says right now you are eating a pastrami sandwich up in Boca at the Pastrami Queen. With some Cel Ray soda

LOL! Not too far from the truth. I was actually hanging out at a sandwich shop in Pompano Beach. I didn't eat there today. Just shooting the breeze with friends. However, I recently did eat a pastrami sandwich there.

Dang.... I gotta get a twitter account

Great way to easily communicate with large numbers of people at the same time. I was tempted to post how the Dollar Tree store is now selling incredible beef jerky (regular, sweet & hot, and teriyaki) for just a buck but I didn't want a run on that store since I want more tomorrow. This stuff is as good as the jerky they sell for $5 or more at other stores.

From the outset, when Right America opens as tearful supporters commiserate over John McCain’s election concession speech, Pelosi focuses on the underexplored legion of Republican Party supporters.

“You don’t see these people on television. I have to remind my liberal friends that this is what you find outside of California and New York,” says Pelosi, who traveled to 28 states last summer and fall to examine the Republican Party’s base.

Pelosi appears anxious about how Right America might be perceived. “I tried to be balanced; I don’t want to stir the pot. But this is a country at war with itself. It’s not cute or funny. It’s serious.”

‘Right America’: Filmmaker Uses A Distorting Lens

By Michael Leahy
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, February 16, 2009; Page C01

The modern American political documentary, which can serve as a delicious magnifying glass on human behavior and attitudes, has two basic approaches. The first has value. In the hands of a documentarian committed to bringing a fresh understanding of the lives of a feverish group on the political right or left, to probing the reasons behind their activism or seething frustrations, the magnifying glass can reveal things we’ve never before understood. It can provide not only a window on a cultural divide but also clues to what might help bridge that divide.

Then there is the other approach. It reminds me of hot summer days in my childhood when this neighborhood kid would ask if I wanted to come and study ants and other insects under his magnifying glass, promising me and other buddies that we’d learn something. We would amble outside to the scorching sidewalk, where he would train his magnifying glass on the insects and begin happily frying them. And, dumb as it was, the rest of us would stare, transfixed. Dumb always has a market — so long as something or somebody fries.

Within the first few minutes of Alexandra Pelosi’s “Right America: Feeling Wronged — Some Voices From the Campaign Trail,” an HBO documentary debuting tonight that purports to provide “a forum” for conservative supporters of John McCain and Sarah Palin “who saw their hopes and dreams evaporate in the wake of the Democratic victory” — well, we know what kind of magnifying glass we’re getting.

But your mother and her Socialist-Democrat cohorts are determined to fix that little problem.

"The whole partisan Bush years and the war poisoned the well."

I clearly recall that at the beginning of the Bush years, Bush tried to reach out to the Dems and they obstructed every him every step of the way. Bush was still trying to be president of all the people and the dems along with the MSM leaked, lied, and denied the whole way. So if the Bush years were partisan it was the dems that did the partisanizing.

I really enjoy it when these libs say we’re voting against our economic interests. First, it’s a crock. Second, if it were true, aren’t they saying that I should put aside my objectons to small children being thrown in the trash so that I can make a quick buck?
