"Liberal wussy, you know dem terrrrrists hate us cuz our freedom, not for nothin' we never did to them!" -Joe Sixpack

He makes such a great point though... a lot of these low income folks who continually vote Republican year after year somehow don't realize they're voting in people who care nothing about their situation. It boggles the mind.

Add 1 part religion, 1 part stagnant traditionalism, 4 parts right-wing media, and as much ignorance as you care to add and voila! You've got the Joe Sixpack voting class.

"regular people make less than average wages. duh"

That's actually true. The really high income of the few "pulls" the average upward (It's like the old joke: If Bill Gates enters a bar full of unemployed people, suddenly everyone in there is a millionaire "on average").

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States#Distribution_of_Income

the average household income in the US in 2004 was roughly $60K. On the other hand the median income (the income where 50% of the population is below or above) was roughly only $43K. So 50% of the households make $17K less than the average income. This probably means that about 65 to 70% of the household in the US make less than the average income. My bet is that Joe Sixpack is somewhere in there.

I thought low-income folks generally vote Democratic. A lot of good it's done for them over the years...

generally people in cities vote democratic, and people in rural areas vote republican. The urban/rural split is more significant than any other demographic in predicting how white people will vote. If you look at a county-winner maps of the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, most of the densely populated counties were won by democrats, and the republicans won almost everywhere else. For example, St. Louis city, Kansas City, and Rolla are blue while almost everywhere else in Missouri is Red.

There are other correlates of living in an urban area: wealth, education, exposure to a variety of people, and irreligion.

Bill "Not cowardly" Maher looks more and more like a newborn puppy every year, only the whining isn't as cute. Say, isn't his show run by an evil, profit-seeking corporation?

Joe Twelvepack doesn't have to be sober to see the grandiose failure of liberalism versus reality. Unlike limousine liberals, he lives in a world with real consequences and DOES vote in his best interests. He doesn't look kindly on elitists trying to tax him to death while pissing on American values.

If you crave stagnant socialism there's always Europe. Pack a prayer rug.

Normally I can't stand Chris Matthews, but his laughter is infectious here.

David Mamet recently walked away from liberalism. Once in a great while someone breaks out of the liberal matrix.

Bill is way off on a liberal rant. Evil corporations! It's our fault they blow themselves up!

The Saudi dictators put the American troops in the muslim heartland. The US gets oil - the King gets money. Blame anyone - blame the wahabi fucknuts. They are to blame. They are responsible for the entire war on terror. They play both sides and the war has never been about America but rather about the Saudi royal family. It's like medieval Europe.

Middle East? Medieval East is more like it.
