When did the idea of hope become an elitist tool?

When did knowing about the candidates become a bad thing?

When did basing your vote on what a person says and not what they look like become grounds for being an elitist?

And, while we're at it, can someone define for me what an 'elitist' is?
well the answer to the first batch of questions, in MY opinion, is: when it became acceptable to vote based on the person you'd like to have a beer with.

and the answer to your last question is: an elitist is anyone who doesn't base their vote on who they'd rather have a beer with.

Comic, cosmo, whatever, if they don't love their God and Country enough to avoid higher education then to hell with them. Everyone knows all they teach in those higher education places is how to hate America.


And damn straight I want a president I'd have a beer with, because I don't want anyone in the White House smarter than the guys at my corner tavern.

but, but, but, unlike cosmicrocker, comicsartist is on OUR side, sweetie.
their names are very similar, and have tripped me up on occasion, too - but they're different people and polar opposites.

Well they can't be red, white, or blue. Any color that may be considered "anti-american" would be best. Oh and they all come with your choice of a rainbow bumper sticker, an "I love Satan" bumper sticker, or a combination of the two in which they imply that you are literally Satans lover.
