Working people have been sold out for a long time, and when nobody was looking out for their interests those folks flocked to the party that at least shared their fears (even if that same party created many of those fears in the first place). The Republican party is just better at not having a soul, and if the Democratic party doesn't find a soul and do something with it QUICKLY, Obama failing to get re-elected will only be the teeny-tiny tip o' the iceberg. I have some stuff to say about the apotheosis of Barack Obama but that's going to take some more time, which is lacking at the moment.BJG.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04778756684849153651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692301326157310160.post-1950478459433843532008-10-24T18:12:00.000-07:002008-10-24T18:12:00.000-07:00Right on, mi amigo.

But the question that really emerges from this is: Why do the Democrats have such a hard time convincing the white working-class that they share interests. It's not just because white working people are ignorant bigots.Robot Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330422829802845946noreply@blogger.com
