Are they "Morans," hypocrites or stupid?
The WSJ had a story about the race for governor in VA, noting that Obama went on to carry the county (Loudoun) and Virginia -- the first Democratic presidential candidate to win both jurisdictions in 44 years.

But now, a resident says: "If hope and change is you're unemployed and you can't pay your mortgage, than you're probably not going to vote for the guy who brought the hope and change, or his party."

(I admit that I did not ready much beyond these comments)

So let's see: you don't want "big government;" you disapprove of the various bailouts, but you are mad at the government for being unemployed and cannot pay your mortgage.


You cannot have it both ways.

Yes, I know, this kind of logic flies above too many voters' heads.

4. They are racists and thugs.
Yes, they are ignorant dupes, but let's not mince words here.

5. You forgot "Bold-faced Liars."
Seems like another realistic choice.

6. Vicariously and preemptively greedy, myopic, hardhearted, and divorced from reality
and you can never say mentally distorted, intellectually lacking, heathen assholes too often when describing them either.

7. And, sadly, this is how most people like it
they are happy in their own festered pond and view with suspicious anyone who tries to ask questions.

When we, liberals, look outside, we are then, "elitists."
