156. Every blue collar worker, particularly like my parents who worked
hard to put me through my undergraduate degree should read this post and every single response before they cast a vote in November.

Voters not only vote for the candidate, but for the people who will gain political power and influence with the candiates' victory.

Every man and woman who has gained their "education" from hard work, life experience, calouses and raising families should be exposed to the barely masked hatred and condescension of the people who will gain political power if they choose to pull a lever for Obama.

This thread alone should be responsible for a movement called "Traditional Democrats for McCain". I agree with practically none of McCain's stated policies but I know a President McCain might give my policies an audience without looking down his nose at me. This thread convinces me that President Obama might not extend the same courtesy.

Despite a Master's degree, it turns out I have a lot more in common with the out of work steel workers that Obama once worked to help then I do with the elitists who are now eager to see him elected president.
