Is Pennsylvania bitter? Interesting man-on-the-streets interviews from,
of all places, FOX News. I think they went out looking for one thing and ended up getting something altogether different.

13. I picked up on that one, too. While I might not agree with the man's
politics, I give him credit for being honest and fair.

6. It's really the Hillary/Fox crowd that condescends
They, like the talking heads on MTP and This Week have no idea what's going on with regular working people in America, and yet they tell us that people aren't bitter, that hating bush and the war aren't enough, that the people are resilient, etc. The stupid fucks don't realize that bitter and resilient are not binaries, nor do they have an understanding of the depth of animosity this war and this regime's economic policies, have stirred up.

They are going to find out.

9.  So...HRC and McCain's reaction to Obama's comments makes them look like elitists
who are out of touch. Oh, the irony!

10. People are bitter and opening their window and YELLING
On the internet and in interviews for the MSM, "I'M TIRED and ANGRY and BITTER, and I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANY MORE and I'm gonna vote for OBAMA ! ! !

12. Excelllent interviews. And great comments below.
The people who were telling their life stories in the comment section were really touching.

THEY are the ones this election is really about.

Thanks for posting this.

14. I do wish the rest of the media would do some of the same type of
man-on-the-street interviews. I think it would be very enlightening. But we just keep hearing how other politicians are responding...not how the average voter is really feeling.
