Subject: "Clinton Wins WV Uneducated White Vote;Obama Continues Final Sprint to Nomination" A thinly veiled way of saying West Virginians are all rednecked or white trash or bigots ?? I can't believe a respected newsletter used that phrase in their subject line ? Gee, has there been some overnight evaluation of the primary voters' educational levels ? or just more unreliable exit poll rhetoric ? _West Virginia's Mountainous Imponderables | BuzzFlash.org_ (http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/carpenter/073) "... Now there's a Democratic primary-victory stat to be proud of -- hail the hardworking, toothless hayseed vote.." It is that kind of hare-brain "hayseed" uppity condescending elitism that has sent so many old previous Dem's to the Republican side for the past two decades... No one can or should champion racism NOR sexism but one should hardly embrace or mistake 'class-ism' or 'regionalism' as clear and honest analysis The real problem is that if the Democratic party wanted to walk away with this election - they had solid basic non controversial candidates who did promote change along with clear agendas and ideas but they didn't get either the press or big money or hype The Republican party had candidates who espoused their stated fiscal and foreign conservative policies but they too were ignored and lacked the big money supporters and mass media anointments What we are left with is an election again where people struggle to choose the "lesser of two errr three evils" - and we still can look forward to massive debt; a never-ending war; and a lack of energetic support to restore the Constitution, Habeas Corpus, privacy, middle class job and higher education opportunities - and the dignity of the USA in the world again... Toothless, and/or undereducated, or underemployed - - or silver spooned, Ivy league entitled with Lilly white caps and trust funds -- we all deserve a better breed of candidates free from rumored dirty or power money; and candidates who value the Constitution, citizen rights and opportunities; and who will set a standard from the top which re-enobles blunt honesty, fair play and fair trade, government responsibility and accountability, and promote a strong fiscal, energy independent, cross-class pro-America agenda... We have become a nation with millions disenfranchised by convictions; with tens of millions of "occupants" un-enfranchised by illegal status; dumbed down by schools reduced to minimum security indoctrination centers; numbed by loss of jobs, pensions, nest eggs & savings, homes, and safe reliable health care; and where less than forty percent of even those eligible to vote bother to vote... That is not a definition of a republic It is a recipe for apathy, oligopolistic leadership, arrogant un-accountibility, legislative larceny and license, and a crumbling Constitution, country, and character.... We need the hayseed and the harebrained, and the full rainbow spectrum of races and sub-cultures and regions to once again fully commit to a united effort to build a United States of America which stands for liberty and justice for all Peace, Hugs, and Purrs, Carolyn Rose Goyda Missouri, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
