"Bitter" Small Town Pennsylvanians HATE Obama
Obama for America (Unite for Change Events) ^ | 06/25/08 | Winged Hussar

Posted on 06/25/2008 10:15:20 AM PDT by Winged Hussar

Go to http://my.barackobama.com/uniteforchange and enter zip code 18702 (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a city of 50,000 or so that is almost entirely blue collar DEMOCRATIC in terms of its politics). The map shows Unite for Change events within 50 miles.

Unite for Change events in Wilkes-Barre: ZERO

Unite for Change events in Scranton (90,000 people): ONE

In other words, the Obama campaign could not find one single person in DEMOCRATIC Wilkes-Barre who would associate his or her name with this phony smile on top of an empty suit. In nearby Scranton, which also is blue collar Democrat, only one person was willing to host an event.

Look for Pennsylvania to turn RED on the map this Election Day. God BLESS America, McCain 2008.

The event in Scranton is sponsored by Wilkes University students for Obama (and also Upstate NY for Obama). In other words, university students as opposed to the blue collar Democrats who make up the party’s base.

Wilkes-Barre can see the kings new clothes, that’s all (jealous?).

Obama isn’t going to win PA, OH, or Michigan.

I was talking to a bunch of blue collar types at a Veterans club and to a person, they all stated they were not voting for Obama. I heard alot of Ron Paul Talk, but the things they said about him are unprintable. He will not take PA.

Had a talk with a center-right friend of mine.

Him Mom, retired teacher, from PA and a MI transplant. Catholic and a traditional blue collar Dem voter.

She will not vote for Junior, she doesn't trust him.

She would have pulled the lever for Hilda, but now she will for McCain.

The Dem's may not pull off the sweep of the Catholic vote that Schumer-Emmanuel snagged in 06' in PA, OH, IN, MI and IL.

I have a freak on my street with the Obama sign in the yard. I have seen quite a few cars in the area with the Obama signs. Don't get too excited the Bitter and Gun loving hicks love Democrats. Especially the union brain warped people.

Steel....

I cannot see blue collar, Harley ridding, tattooed, beer drinking UAW line guys pulling the lever for Junior.

And if McCain had any brains.....

He would make a push for more Nuke Plants, and a Pipe Line from ANWR with the backdrop being a host of AFL-CIO Labors, Iron Workers, and all other Unions Et-Al, who are just dying to work 60 or 70 hrs a week building things in America.

But the Prozacian Geldings running his campaign do not call me at all.......

Hopefully they dislike him enough to counter the idiots in the cities that’ll vote for the D and not the man.

Yet these salt of the ERath types would have voted for Hillary?
Excuse me,I just don’t get it.Both Obama and Hillary were in agreement about 95% of the time,their pro-abort,anti-gun and high taxes stances on the record for anyone willing to do a little research.
Frankly,I think the liberals might have a point here.It IS racism that is behind some of the anti-Obama sentiment.
And we all know that many Democrats can be just as racist,if not more so,than most conservatives.
So lets tell the truth here!

“And if McCain had any brains.....”

He’d be a decent candidate.

Don’t worry about the absence of Hussein supporters in your area. Mark my words: THEY WILL BUS THEM IN! That is what we witnessed in at least two battleground states in 2004. Kerry supporters, namedly: (volunteer retirees & college students from New England), (paid campaign organizers- Mass.& Conn. license tags) and from Oregon, Washington and California (die-hard LGBT volunteers). A few began arriving in early September and majority were in place by mid-October. They stayed untill November 5th, then packed up and left. Oh, forgot to mention ACORN busses and some other similiar group travelling by bus with a similiar motive. My point is don’t sit comfortably because you think your district or city is safe, when Soros and foreign money can easily fund bus loads of people, they will come and disperse RATS to steal the election.
