Great, now we are crackers
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | October 21, 2008 | Salena Zito

Posted on 10/21/2008 3:27:37 PM PDT by Salena Zito

First we are bitter-gun-clinging-God-clinging-racist-rednecks, now we are crackers.

At least according to John Baer at the Philadelphia Daily News. Click here for his opinion column reasoning that the "Cracker Effect" is why McCain continues to campaign in PA despite sagging polls numbers.

It is their "traitorous" vote for McCain that everyone is targeting with less than flattering descriptives for their vote.

Well if your an Asian and Republican your a banana.

If your black and a Republican your an Oreo.

If your Mexican and a Republican your a coconut.

If your an American Indian and a Republican your an apple.

If your an Environmentalist your a Watermelon.

As a New Jerseyan: We don’t want it we have enough problems. Besides most of us in South Jersey came here to get away from it.

What problems came to the Poconos from NJ? I have to admit though I go to Jim Thorpe as often as I can. When I retire I will probably move back to Pennsylvania just not Philadelphia.

I’ll be a goldfish cracker so at least I can vote in the election. Oh wait, do I HAVE to be dead? Well, if I can’t be a goldfish, I’ve got dibs on being a Garlic Bagel Bite!

I’ve tried, but I just can’t get angry at being called a cracker. I guess it’s all about being proud of what you are.

I’m more of a Triscuit. Intelligent, tasty, a bit too hard-fibered for some.

Yes, the ‘cracker’ vote poses problems for Obama. McCain faces similar, if not worse, problems from the, um, uh, nevermind.

Maybe you should be an animal cracker. You can vote once for every species in the box.

You can only be a goldfish cracker if you change your name to Princess.
