In election 2008, don’t forget Angry White Man
Aspen Times Weekly ^ | 2-09-2008 | Gary Hubbell

There is a great amount of interest in this year’s presidential elections, as everybody seems to recognize that our next president has to be a lot better than George Bush. The Democrats are riding high with two groundbreaking candidates — a woman and an African-American — while the conservative Republicans are in a quandary about their party’s nod to a quasi-liberal maverick, John McCain.

Each candidate is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of special-interest groups, ranging from gay, lesbian and transgender people to children of illegal immigrants to working mothers to evangelical Christians.

There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man.

Rush Limbaugh read this on his show today; it is one of the finest (and funniest) articles on this voting bloc which I have ever read.

Cheers!

Last paragraph:

” He also votes, and the Angry White Man loathes Hillary Clinton. Her voice reminds him of a shovel scraping a rock. He recoils at the mere sight of her on television. Her very image disgusts him, and he cannot fathom why anyone would want her as their leader. It’s not that she is a woman. It’s that she is who she is. It’s the liberal victim groups she panders to, the “poor me” attitude that she represents, her inability to give a straight answer to an honest question, his tax dollars that she wants to give to people who refuse to do anything for themselves.

There are many millions of Angry White Men. Four million Angry White Men are members of the National Rifle Association, and all of them will vote against Hillary Clinton, just as the great majority of them voted for George Bush.

He hopes that she will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2008, and he will make sure that she gets beaten like a drum.”

Some of us white guys have learned over the years to sit back in the lawn chair with a beer and a cigar and watch the victims of this world crowd into their bus and proceed to drive off the nearest cliff.

It’s either that or go to the bar, get drunk, start a political party and conquer the planet.

Tell me how the angry white men are going to make a difference— in a significant way, that is. None of the 4 candidates out there is worth the gas it takes for me to drive from work to my early-voting place.
What’s the difference between Obama and Hillary? [except that Hillary is far more obnoxious] What’s the difference between McQueeg and scHmuckabee? They’re both RINO’s.
I can’t see a reason to vote. Heads or tails, our country loses.

There may not be a candidate for the Angry White Man in this year’s Presidential race, beacause no matter which of the three remaining candidates wins the election this fall, they will be having U.S. Constitution toilet paper delivered to the White House by the truck load.

However, I think after four years of the nonsense which is about to be unleashed upon us, the Angry White Man, and a whole lot of other angry people, will be back with a vengeance in 2012.

I just hope and pray there will be enough left of the country and the Constitution to be worth salvaging.
