1. I never said it was okay to attack urban liberals. BUT... the Republican party isn't trying to win over this group of voters. They know they don't agree on the issues and they don't trust the Republicans. It's complete BS, but it doesn't matter over the long haul in the election. Republicans aren't trying to persuade urban liberals of anything.
2. I never said I was going to vote McCain/Palin. I'm voting for Obama. It won't be because I like Obama, though, and the anti-Palin hysteria is one reason not to like or trust Obama's party. For other white, working class voters, voting for Obama on the issues requires that we believe him when he sets forth his policies and says "And these policies will help you." If Obama and his supporters talk out of both sides of their mouths, why should the demographic believe him on anything? If you say that white, working class voters are "chimps," or "idiots" who "bitterly cling to their religion and guns," why on earth should they believe when you say "Vote for us, because we want to help you! We value your vote!"
