There's this white guy and he doesn't trust Obama...
Not white, funny sounding name, Democrat, supports abortion, young, whatever.... He's from a different world.


But he's come to the realization that McCain/Palin are the two BIGGEST FUCK-UPS EVER to run for the White House!


The economy is tanking

Gas prices are out of this world

The fucking war

All of this under the same Republicans that he voted for. Twice.


He's between a rock and a hard place and he's nervous about the future of the country.


It's Election Day... What does he do?

1. Votes for Bob Barr as a silent protest, probably.
Some people will never vote for a Black Democrat.

2. I was in Central Pa this weekend
Got lots of feedback. They are either not voting, writing in Ron Paul or voting for Bob Barr or other marginal candidates.
Heard this from at least 5 people.
They are furious about the bail-out and they are blaming the Repubs.

3. He does five thing. Shock, Denial, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance.
Next time you run into this guy, try handing him a copy of Obama's health care or economic investment plans. I find facts help speed up the journey away from ignorance.

4. I'm wondering about that whole conspiracy thing where "they" were
going to pump up the stock market & drop oil prices just in time for November to fool the rube white guy into voting for a republican again.

Talk about showing "them" too fucking much respect for shit that is completely out of their hands & out of control.

5. Votes Barr
I have to agree that that is what he'd do.

Meanwhile, my 90 year old Republican mom is planning to vote Obama. Why? Maybe because she was a supporter of Civil Rights in the '60s, lived among folks from all over the world, and appreciates intelligence. Only wish more Republicans were like her.

6. He still votes McCain. That's why we're in the mess we're in now. I swear
I fucking hate the American people sometimes, and I'm one of 'em.
