Missouri Politics
I was out eating for a friend’s birthday Saturday night. Barack Obama was apparently staying at the hotel attached to the restaraunt we were eating at - cops walking the parking not admitting Obama was staying there while smiling at the same time.
My Fiance: “Is Obama staying here???”
Cop: :smiles: nooooooo
My Fiance: “Do you think he’ll come out?”
Cop: No
Redneck Friend: If McCain was here he would come out
Cop: Yah he probably would
Redneck Friend: Because McCain loves the American people and Obama is just a black terrorist
woahh…..what?
After talking to some of my country friends I came to realize that yes, these guys DO hate Obama because he’s black and DO think he’s a “terrorist” becaues of his name.
It reminds me of the Bush vs Kerry election. A friend of mine was put off because Kerry seemed like a puss, couldn’t throw a football like a man, and couldn’t possibly do right in Iraq. Bush gets elected for term #2 - now look at us.
I ask these dudes - “If McCain croaks and Palin is now in charge, that doesn’t BOTHER you a little because she’s a clone of Bush?”
Response? “She’s hot”
I’m in a constant state of abject horror at what I hear each election year…no talk of policy here..just jesus,guns,gays,who’s more patriotic, “christ he’s black, can’t vote for him”, etc.
True, Obama would probably decide a lot of my firearms are destructive devices and want to ban them. I’m much more concerned about the country in general. I could give my Saiga-12 semi automatic, magazine fed, 12 gauge up for financial prosperity. Wether or not a gay can get married has never ONCE affected ME. The fact that George Bush is totally down with Jesus has not helped him do right for this country one bit.
Guns? Yah that’s an issue, but I can handle some legislation in this area so long as it’s not a total ban of firearms.
Abortion, Gay Marriage, Jesus, Race - Seem to be typical “Republicans kind of suck now days, we have no platform, so lets take the redneck’s anger about issues such as finances and the economy, turn it around on the blacks, gays, etc and get their votes” - It’s been working.
Bill Maher recently said “American is no longer #1, stop acting like we’re still #1 and focus on getting us back to #1”. I agree.
