1. I didn't know where to vote 2. I don't know if I am registered 3. I don't have time JL, they might have known in advance their votes would be cast whether they showed or not, a la, Mayor Daley, Chicago, 1960.
I dunno, it just struck me as odd. Obama didn't win our county, didn't even come close. It was Hillary 62 to 33 percent and this is a big college town.
Bush: Worst President Ever
So....Obama loses in OH, PA, WV and KY, with the common denominator being that working class whites (MSM speak for uneducated, double-wide inhabitants) aren't buying his snake oil. He's pulling in between 20-25% of that demographic. He has a problem.
You have my sympathies. I use to work in call/telemarketing center (JC Penny Catalog) and it really sucks. I am not a people person and hate talking. I don't know why I ever did it but I was young then and did a lot of dumb things.
God is always good!
I supervise so I am not on the phones anymore except for escalations. We do customer service for a major cell phone carrier. Not pretty. Not my first choice for a job, I already left once, they talked me in to coming back. Pay is too good for me to pass up right now. But, it's a decent job for alot of the younger kids in this area. I don't think there are too many in this area that haven't worked there. Turnover is horrendous. It's a tough job being on the phones with grouchy people.
Bush: Worst President Ever
Yes, he does. The elections have been decided by 49/51 percent votes the past couple of times. This is a 49/51 percent primary, awful lot of folks gonna be pissed off and will go elsewhere.

Oregon is very white. The notion of this thread is ridiculous.
Oregon Democratic Primary 20-May-08 Delegates: 58 County Results --- 52% Reporting 1 Obama 256,209 58% 2 Clinton 185,280 42% 3 Edwards - 0%

Great phraseology.
"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
Obama's top strategist, David Axelrod, said getting the pledged delegate majority was an "important milestone," but not the end of the trail. Neither candidate is expected to reach the 2,026 delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination. That means the race is likely to be settled by "superdelegates" -- party leaders and officials who will cast votes at the Democratic convention in August. Read...who is going to be able to buy the majority of the "superdelegates"?

LOL. I did not notice that. Yesterday morning, JT was demanded that someone picked between opposing distributionism and Obama. Now, that we all understand how JT himself is a beneficiary of distributionism, he PIVOTED (I love the word) to Obama's BRAND of distributionism. The distributionism that benefits JT is good but Obama's BRAND... Oy! Vey!!!

There's no need to read that. Hillary lost already. Her late whining about her being disrespected for being a bitch and a witch signals her pathetic awakening to reality. She's never going to be the president of the US (oh my... what a loss) and she is not about to go down with a whimper. She'll be screaming like an el torro in the slaughter house. Remember, she's got testicular fortitude.

At least you see that Obaba is all about redistributing wealth from middle to lower and beyond.
"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
I don't know how wealth is 'redistributed' to the 'lower and beyond'. Is Obama eager to put everyone on welfare and on food stamps? I don't think so. The lower income people already don't pay taxes and most middle income pay relatively low taxes, at least at the federal level. So, how is Obama going to redistribute 'wealth' to the lower income? This is what he might do: - Expanding gov't paid health coverage to low income people. Can you think of any other way in which Obama may benefit our enemy, 'the lazy and the poor'?
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
We'll see what happens.
"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
Your enemy is the lazy and the poor? They aren't my enemy, they're the manifestation of a non workable society of which Obama, McCain and Rodham promise you more.
"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
If the government forces redistributions unto undeserving others then they could be viewed as the enemies of the self-sustained because they are the friends of our true enemy, the welfare state. My question was, how is Obama going to channel our hard-earned wealth to the enemy other than in the modest ways I outlined above?
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
If Obama is getting 90 percent of the black vote. How many of them would be racists?
One of the biggest ways the gov't does this is by its expansion. Non producing government workers are the way the gov't (Obama included) cultivates parasites on the working class.
"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
As I stated before, almost everyone is a racist. I don't think it's just a cultural thing. Racism is probably genetic but it can be reinforced and exacerbated by upbringing and circumstances. Now, in the case of Hillary, I am surprised that so many do vote for her. I don't know why she would deserve anyone's vote but that's a different issue. Most blacks vote for Obama out of race pride, no question about it but I don't think that Al Sharpton got anywhere close to 90% of the black vote 4 years ago and he is a lot blacker than Obama. Condi Rice would probably get a low percentage of the black vote.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Then, do we all agree that W was the biggest redistributionist of all times - with his asking for and enacting the largest expansion of the US government since... ever? It IS possible that Obama or McCain would grow the gov't even bigger but they are going to be under big pressure to stop borrowing us into bankruptcy. They may both try to raise taxes but we are not in an environment where people have a lot of disposable income to give away to the government.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
fair enough
I thought that deserved a repeat. Great post.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. So when the MSM ignores the black pride vote, and winces at Obama's failure to receive more white votes, they display the signs and symptoms of political correctness and white guilt.
I never defended the MSM's.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Didn't say you did, it's just an observation on how the MSM shapes racial thought.
I don't think you get that there is no fixing this.
"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
Yes, there is. The Roman empire was fixed when the citizens got too lazy and addicted to entertainments. The barbarians took over and 'a new world order' emerged. We are probably at the end of the cycle that began with the fall of Rome and the massive migrations from Asia.

Indeed. As one commentator said last night, if Appalachia were a country, Hillary could be its queen. But the country is not just Appalachia (thank God). Clearly Obama has a hillbilly problem. The only thing worse than not getting the hillbilly vote is...well...getting it. An analyst showed last night that the hillbilly Democrat vote went overwhelmingly for Bush in 2004. In other words, they like fascism almost as much as moonshine. A more pitiful bunch of voters there never were. Obama's better off without 'em.
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.
You know what else is pitiful? Delusional people who think obummer is the savior of America. You used to know that establishment politicians weren't worth the powder it would take to blow them away, or at least pretended to. What a tool you turned out to be! You can be sure your masters in the establishment are proud of you as they are all useful idiots.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. If you consider being invaded and taken over as a solution, that's already happened. In addition, without an invasion, the Saudis and OPEC are bringing us to our knees.

Well, to write off OH, PA, KY and WV is to lose to McCain. The Rev Wright issue and his bitter, guns and bibles comment resonated in these hills and I assume they will in other pockets of the country where Americans still outnumber socialists.
I don't think Obama's gonna write em off. He's gonna a pick a veep that's a REAL hillbilly, one who hasn't forgotten his heritage of freedom (unlike his now reflexively pro-fascist kin). Jimmy Webb, baby! That's a winning ticket if there ever was one. He'll get the hillbillies back to where they need to be -- opposing fascism instead of being its most notoriously lockstepped dupes. Then, all our freedom-fighting hillbilly ancestors (the ones who gave no quarter or comfort to tyrants - ever) might finally stop spinning in their graves.

I don't think all this blow really matters. The economy has sailed off the cliff and discussing who's holding the reins or going to be is somewhat moot.
"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
Yeppers. I have had more than a bellyful of the remarks made about the *hillbillies* that voted yesterday. I have lived in Kentucky for about 10 years now and out of all the states I have lived in, you won't find better people to live around. I don't have to lock my doors, people help each other out and most here would give you the shirt off their back. Most here have kids in Iraq and most have lost their kids to Iraq. They work hard, go to church and try to raise their kids right. They are hardly *uninformed*, *uneducated* or racist.
Bush: Worst President Ever
This caricature of white, non-Obama voters being pushed by the MSM is going to be Obama's death knell. They are so PC that they are now incapable of honestly discussing the results of a vote. This problem of the left will come back hard to bite the Chosen One come November. The very people you described as your neighbors are depicted as HS educated, working class. Can anyone tell me how they culled out that demographic? The last census was nearly 9 years ago and god knows how many folks continued their education, moved out, while others moved in. And most important, who gives a rip? When O gets 92% of the black vote are their educational backgrounds discussed? Their work habits? Saint Obama will have a positive effect on this country in that he will wake some folks up to an agenda to marginalize people b/c of their color, that color would be white.
are most of them republicans? and how do they feel about bush and the continuation of the war?
Funny. The Washington Post this morning is reporting something very different.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
He won by 16 points.

Oxford..... If he can't get the Oregon white vote (only a split???) he'd need to reconsider his career options.

- More gov't help with low income kids' education, including more support for ghetto schools.
- Eliminating the Social Security tax for the lower income but that would be hard because there's already the 'earned income' tax credit that is meant to eliminate it.

Kentucky's Democratic electorate proved tailor-made for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, as her most reliable voters turned out in large numbers, giving her a win of better than 2 to 1 over Sen. Barack Obama. But Obama scored a rare double-digit win among white voters in Oregon, capitalizing on that state's more liberal electorate.
