We Must Stop Barack Obama!

Democrat voters vote for their candidate in the Mississippi primary today. As this contest goes on, some American voters are making their fears known as to why one of the two contenders for the Democratic nomination should not be chosen by their party and why they cannot be president of the United States...

The Crotchety Old White Voter View

Obama Lost Ohio Due To 'Archie Bunker' Voters
[Bloomberg]



"Race played a significant factor in Ohio," said Cuyahoga County Commissioner Timothy Hagan, who supported Obama. The state's white voters aren't bigots, but the image they see every day of black America is drugs, crime, guns and violence. [I'm guessing that WOULD make them a bigot. They're insulated from the black community, yet they seem to "know" what that community, and essentially all blacks, are all about.]

Obama, 46, has "had a problem with lower-income, downscale, blue-collar Democrats from the beginning," Joe Trippi [a former senior strategist for John Edwards] said. "He typically appeals to better educated, upscale Democrats."

Clinton beat Obama 58 to 40 percent among those with no college degree and 56 percent to 42 percent among those who earn less than $50,000 a year in Ohio.


"I can't support him,'' said Richard Dorsch, a 53-year-old paramedic fire chief from Chicago's Edison Park. Dorsch, who said his kids liken him to Archie Bunker, voted for Clinton in the primary, though he plans to support Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona if Obama wins the nomination. [Eh?]

"When he talks to you, it's like he's talking down to you,'' Dorsch said. "He doesn't have the experience to talk like that.'' [Are you saying Obama has to earn the right to talk down to you? How dare he be educated! You want to vote for an Ebonics scholar. Of course!]

Obama has had problems with similar types of voters in Chicago since he began running for public office, though he has made some progress. He beat his white Democratic rivals in the 2004 Senate primary in places like the 41st Ward.

Yet communities like Edison Park remain a challenge for Obama, said Kent Redfield, a professor of political studies at the University of Illinois in Springfield.

"When Democrats win national elections they really do put that old New Deal coalition back together,'' he said. "They have to get that Reagan Democrat.'' [Damn that.]


Chicago's 41st Ward is a classic white working-class neighborhood of bungalows [...]

An informal survey of employees at a local bank, gym, library, and neighborhood restaurant turned up no Obama supporters. Some residents said they were concerned that he might not take into account the concerns of whites. [After all, it's all about you. I guess other races who have nothing to vote for but a white candidate have to suck it up and deal with it.]

"If Obama gets in, it's going to be a black thing and it's going to be all blacks for blacks,'' said Victoria Mikulski, a 63-year-old clerk in Edison Park. "Everything's got to be equal.'' [Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Should I even bother tackling this one? Ms. Mikulski is 63 years-old and still a clerk, so I wonder how's that "all whites for whites" thing working out for her so far.]


Some residents still harbor resentment from 35 years ago, when a growing black population on the city's west side pushed whites north into Edison Park and Norwood Park, said Mary O'Connor, who owns a local bakery. Brian Doherty, the 41st Ward alderman, said he was "shocked'' by Obama's success in the 2004 Senate primary. [Nobody forced their asses out. They resent that they were unsuccessful in threatening blacks to stay away and they ran off as a result.]


Clearly, these people are lacking in creative bigotry, so if there are any, what are good reasons to vote for Hillary Clinton against Barack Obama in the primary?

Why should one vote for Republican candidate John McCain if Barack Obama were to win the Democratic nomination?
