Primaries prove Dems are the racists

There is something odd going on in the Democrat party. The Kumbaya party of tolerance and can’t we all just get along has disintegrated into the party of identity politics of the worst kind. Identity politics is when a voter ignores issues and simply votes for the candidate that looks most like themselves.

Blacks it seems are breaking about 98% for Obama. This was fine with the Clintons when 96% of blacks were voting Democrat for Bill. But now “those people” are voting for one of their own against the Shrillda Beast and the Clintons have to smear Obama as a “black candidate” – read Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. Never mind Obama’s mother is white, which makes him at least half as white as Bill Clinton. And never mind Obama won in the whitest of all states and came close in the second whitest of all states. The Clintons keep the whispering campaign up – Obama’s the “black candidate.”

While blacks are breaking for Obama, women are breaking overwhelmingly for the Shrillda Beast.

So the blacks go to Obama and the women go to the Shrillda Beast – whose left? The most down trodden and least appreciated of all Democrat constituencies - white men – they are particularly ignored if they happen to be heterosexual Christian men with a job. When white conservative men vote their interests based on issues by voting Republican, Dems call us racists and bigots.

Racism and sexism among white males being what it is, what are Dems going to do in the general election? Certainly the Dem nominee will expect white men to march into the booth and dutifully pull the lever for the “black candidate” or “the woman” because that’s what the party wants them to do. But what if white Democrat men play a little identity politics of their own and end up voting for the white male Republican? Then they would enter the world of the white male Republican and become racist bigots.

Weird huh. If you’re black and vote for the black guy for no other reason than he’s black, you’re an enlightened soul voting your best interests. If you’re a woman and vote for the Beast for no other reason than she’s a woman – sort of, you’re a person of conscience, a true patriot voting for the future of America. If you’re a white male and vote for the white male Republican candidate because he’s least likely to turn America into a socialist state, you’re nothing more than a greedy racist sexist homophobic redneck.

So the Dems think that they can placate the redneck vote by putting a white guy like John Edwards on the ticket. First, the Shrillda Beast is more of a man than Edwards. Second, Edwards makes no sense electorally because Edwards has proven he can’t even deliver his home state. Dems will pick a white guy like Even Bayh from IN or Ted Strickland of Strickland Propane (juvenile King of the Hill reference) actually he's the Gov of OH. But they will need to do more.

How funny is it going to be to watch Democrats pandering to white male rednecks? Look for the first one to offer a beer subsidy at NASCAR races; $3,000 government rebate checks for the purchase of a new American made pick up truck; a special sub-prime bail out for anyone who bought more double wide trailer than they could afford; legalized bootlegging and most important, lifting the ban on hunting deer with a spotlight.

Well done and right on the money. People tend to vote with who they identify more. If McCain is the republican (lite) candidate I can say I have more in common with him than the two standing democratic candidates. Am I a racist or a sexist? The dems might say yes but I would vote for a Maggie Thatcher or a Alan Keys over McCain. If it is McCain then he will take Guilani as his running mate. Geo Stephanopolus (sp?) says Hillary will ask Obama if she wins. Anyway..Lex is on the money today. The Griffin.
