Angry White Men

[edinsomd]

FTA:
"There is a great amount of interest in this year’s presidential elections, as everybody seems to recognize that our next president has to be a lot better than George Bush. The Democrats are riding high with two groundbreaking candidates — a woman and an African-American — while the conservative Republicans are in a quandary about their party’s nod to a quasi-liberal maverick, John McCain.

Each candidate is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of special-interest groups, ranging from gay, lesbian and transgender people to children of illegal immigrants to working mothers to evangelical Christians.

There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man. The Angry White Man comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from urban sophisticate to rural redneck, deep South to mountain West, left Coast to Eastern Seaboard."

Not everybody. That was quite presumptuous of the author to make that claim.

I dont see any one of those three stooges running for President that are going to do a lot better than President Bush. We will be lucky if it isnt a lot worse.

A presumptuous journalist??!! Say it ain't so! But the rest of the piece makes some good points, in my humble opinion.
