How the Limousine Liberal Sees Non-Obama-Lovers
Posted by TFG on 5th June 2008
It’s such a “But nobody I know voted for him!” quote. Tom actually thinks everybody who might vote for McCain goes to fund-raising dinners. I’ve never been to a fund-raising dinner. I’ve been to a fund-raising kegger, but that was for my best friend since childhood. The thing is, I’ve just spent a week in the heartland where people are working their asses off to make ends meet and to hold it all together. All told, I’ve heard precisely zero words from a single soul saying they can’t wait to get gummint health care, higher taxes, and a stronger force for peace in the Middle East by way of the Islamic Republic of Iran. “Fuck that shit” is kind of universal among the hoi-polloi.
I like to think it’s a Texas thing — even here in aught-eight, we still don’t think the feds are going to save us. We’d frankly prefer they don’t even try. I’m pretty damn proud of that. Can we secede yet, please? The exception is Austin — they love government up there…think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Half of their paychecks are signed by the Governor and the other half are pothead students, though, so who’s shocked by their Marxist proclivities?
I used to give Tom a pass on the leftie thing because he’d had a Shack burger. I’m now pretty sure he was one of the beautiful people that used to arrive and depart from the Shack in limousines, thinking they were really cool for mixing it up with the lower castes, yet never venturing from their table on the patio to the bar. Put it this way — I don’t have a picture of a President’s daughter on my camera’s SD card.
