177. This post says SO much about the hatred coming from Hillary folks
"1. The belief that a society or system should be run by an elite."

Do you not believe this? I not only want my country run by an "elite", I want him to be the MOST elite. As elite as possible, the smartest man on the planet. Is that really a bad thing for you? Aren't you tired of the non-elite running our country, George Bush and company? I don't need idiots in the Whitehouse any longer. The "elite" as you say, are more capable of also making "elite" decisions. Please, for all that is great and good, bring on the elite. I'm hoping he's 10x smarter then the common man.

"2. The superior attitude or behavior associated with an elite."

Ummm, it's the president. The President of the United States of America. Do you think it's humanly possible to hold that position and NOT feel somehow superior to most people around you? Heck, I see co-workers get a 2 dollar an hour raise and think they're better then everyone around them. He is the muther flippin' President. OF COURSE he's an elitist. Do you not believe that Bill Clinton thought himself elite? Do you really think that because a candidate knocks back a few shots for the camera that she doesn't think herself elite?

Please don't be taken in by photo ops in the media. ALL of these people are elitists. That's more then fine with me. I don't need them to be my best friend... I need them to run a country that's in dire need of people in possession of "elite" minds.
