Pa. does not need Obama
Where does Sen. Obama get off being such an elitist? He condescendingly accused Pennsylvanians of being angry and clinging to our religion and our guns. What is wrong with clinging to God and exercising our second amendment rights? He continually belittles Sarah Palin for her mayoral work in a small community in Alaska.Her mayoral and gubernatorial experience far exceed his as a community organizer and senator whose record does not match his rhetoric. Small wonder why many blue collar workers cannot relate to him. Coming from a working class family, Palin identifies with us in our daily struggles. Her achievements earned her an 80% approval rating in Alaska, making her the most popular governor in America.
Since PA is crucial for an Obama victory, Sen. Biden suddenly claims to be one of us,though he has been absent from the state for 40 plus years. What has he done to support our economy or enhance the welfare of our state?Though they need Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania does not need them. The McCain-Palin ticket would help safeguard our nation and bring about the positive changes that would help rebuild our economy and keep us free. .

The word "elitist" sure has been getting thrown around a lot in this election season. Can anyone define elitist? If the definition is wealthy and well-educated, going to private schools and universities, don't both candidates fit the bill ???
Do you really want uneducated people running things? Don't answer that, looking at how "smart" people on Wall Street have been running things lately, maybe that is the answer !!!
Indeed. Sort of like Randy Newman's lyrics:
We're rednecks, rednecks
And we don't know our [butt] from a hole in the ground
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
And we're keeping the [Negroes] down
