Interesting read. The article is dead-on about McCain's gloom and doom approach falling flat.

Wow--now I'm confused. I must say that I think 100% the same way that ILS21R does which makes me a bit bigoted, insulting and disrespectful. But I still think the same. Well, I guess I'll tend to agree with John Valentine and use noboby's perfect for cover.
Implying that a man is sleeping with his wife as a daughter is about the most insulting thing you can say about a person. If someone ever put something like that to me, he’d wind up with a bloody nose or worse.
That sort of thing has no place on Free Republic.

Better response….
Genetics and Social conditioning……
With 6 billion people on the planet from different cultures and societal influences, it is important to understand the cultural and societal influences so that everyone has enough understanding to manage respectful relationships with different people. So stereotyping has some benefit to humanity.

Spirituality…..
“I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there’s purpose and worth to each and every life.”
So stereotyping can also be harmful to humanity.

Thanks for the ping. Good article, Plutarch. Thanks for posting. Interesting thread.
“I didn’t say he was one[a pervert]. I said he “looks” like one.
It’s only anecdotal but I’ve heard that Fred’s campaign responded to this line of inquiry with (paraphrase), “It’s a GOOD thing that his wife looks better than the White House interns!”
Macomb County is also a lot different than it was in 1980. The last Census estimate I saw, it was about 900,000. And still growing despite Detroit and perhaps even Michigan trends. There is migration from Detroit. There is also a mixing across what was once a socioeconomic and ethnic Berlin Wall called Dequindre Rd., the border of Oakland County. For years, construction of I-696 and M-59 were held up, but now there is freer movement between the two. So if it seems different, it may well be.
It really warms my heart I am from Macomb County!:)
more than half of Romney's 80,000-vote margin on Tuesday over McCain statewide was accumulated in just two counties - Macomb and his home turf of Oakland County. In Macomb County - a supposedly blue-collar, ethnic, working-class community - voters embraced a candidate who grew up as an Oakland County rich kid and went on to become a spectacularly wealthy venture capitalist.Gosh, it's almost as if blue-collar working-class ethnic voters would ordinarily prefer someone who advocates redistribution from those who work to those who do not work.
That sort of thing has no place on Free Republic.
Being in Europe, after thinking for a week, I must say your comments reflect the "less image minded more pragmatic results oriented" European voters than the image, personal identity, sound bite promises, rock star, American Idol values of the majority of American voters.
