(32,723 posts)In 2000 the GOP ran a cowboy.
Okay, he was a fake cowboy on a fake ranch but still...
It was a powerful idea for the people in the rural areas to have one of their own go to Washington to "clean up that town".
Then they got those rural voters to hate the French for refusing to go along with the invasion of Iraq.
In 2004 the GOP got those those rural voters to absolutely despise the rich guy who "looks French" from Taxachusetts....
In 2008 they ran a "war hero" and a woman with big kachungas and a pretty face who liked to go hunting....
Now, here it is 2008 and the GOP has thrown that whole Country and Western crowd under the bus and is telling them to support the poster boy for the rich city slicker who isn't even a "real Christian" and is also a rich guy who speaks French from Taxachusetts....
Not only THAT but they got them to HATE "Obamacare" and this guy is the one who "invented it".
And we are all supposed to believe this election is close because Republican voters are determined to get the black guy out of office and they will hold their nose and vote for everything they've been told recently to hate because the Republican is white.
