Just give us ignorant masses our guns and churches!
Barack Obama's inexperience is tripping him up again. Check out this comment from Obama regarding why working-class folks don't walk in lockstep with leftist policies.
"People don't vote on economic issues because they don't expect anybody is going to help them," Obama told a crowd at a Terre Haute, Ind., high school Friday evening. "So people end up voting on issues like guns and are they going to have the right to bear arms. They vote on issues like gay marriage. They take refuge in their faith and their community, and their family, and the things they can count on. But they don't believe they can count on Washington."
Yikes! Those were supposed to be remarks made in private to wealthy donors. This once more lays to rest the tired assumption that Democrats are all about the working people. Liberal elites like Clinton, Obama, Ted Kennedy care nothing about working people. All they care about is their own power, and getting working class Americans to vote for them by shameless pandering and fostering class envy. But when you get them alone, the mask comes off and you see the level of disdain that they really have for regular people. Whether it is their faith, their distrust of big city politicians or our love of the outdoors and our right to keep and bear arms, liberal elites cannot stomach the masses. They are little different from politburo members of the former Soviet Union, always talking about the class struggle while spending weekend in luxury at their lavish lake homes.
As one would expect, the Clinton and McCain campaigns are tripping all over themselves to make hay with this.
“Pennsylvanians don’t need a president who looks down on them. They need a president who stands up for them, who fights for them,” Clinton said Friday afternoon at a campaign stop in Philadelphia. She said the Pennsylvanians she’s met aren’t bitter, but “resilient” and “positive.”
McCain adviser Steve Schmidt called Obama’s statement “remarkable” and “extremely revealing.”
“It shows an elitism and condescension towards hardworking Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking,” Schmidt said. “It is hard to imagine someone running for president of the United States who is more out of touch with average Americans.”
Schmidt also said it shows Obama views the people he’s trying to relate to with “contempt.”
Barack is great when delivered canned speeches, but once you get him off script, look out! McCain is going to tear him apart in the debates.

It definitely should be an interesting voting year. The odds that McCain might win seem higher than I thought they would. He might have a chance with Obama and Hillary fighting.
