What a tragedy that poorly educated, working-class, white, small-town Americans will reject a truly smart, capable, good-hearted, visionary leader like Obama simply because they are trapped by prejudices that rule them almost like daemonic possession! So despite their dissatisfaction with Bush, they may end up electing a team that is even MORE conservative than Bush, which means NO AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR MILLIONS, tax breaks for the rich at a time when the country is being bankrupted and the economy ruined by huge war debts in Iraq and Afghanistan, with more to come in Iran, because McCain-Palin are total war-mongering puppets of the neocon servants of Likud Israel. These poor fools are going to vote for at least four more years of catastrophe at home and abroad, and even more economic misery, and much higher gas prices, for them and their families. It's sad to watch ignorant people destroy their country they supposedly love, and themselves, with such stupid politics.
