This is such a turnoff. I'm growing more and more disgusted as I watch this election coverage. I thought this would be the year where we'd have the highest turnout ever. Not if the media keeps this up. I envision people staying home, and turning off their TVs in disgust.

4. It's offensive and belittling.
They want to divide and reduce us into groups.

We are American voters. We vote based uniquely different experiences.

We are One People!

5. I can't stand it
All this pissing and moaning will have a backlash. Tripy whining like a baby will not help - he's a piece of shit.

6. Ignore assholes who will call you naive
We had turned the corner, one campaign wanted to and did make the talk take a U turn, to an era and conversations they are comfortable with. THEY SUCK.

7. Hospitals are the most racially mixed workplaces
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 06:45 PM by Warpy
you are likely to find, in addition to being mini UNs with the number of offshore workers in on temporary visas. I didn't see any single group being a monolith in terms of political affiliation, although as a whole, the caring professions tended to be more liberal than the managerial types.

The only voting bloc that hasn't broken down is the right wing Christian bloc and even that one is showing some serious cracks as they realize they've been used for 27 years by a party that has no intention of depriving corporations of their cheapest workers by forcing them to bear unwanted babies every year while that party fouls up every good thing this country had to offer.

My guess is that this is the last year the GOP can count on the fundies. The alliance was always a strange one, the rich plus the godly, and only tax dollars to corrupt clergy for the past 7 years has held it together this long. Expect to see disgusted mainstream GOPs split off or expect to see a bible party form. I give equal odds.

8. The press is speaking to the lower 50 % of people in this
nation, probably at a 6th grade level.
