Walking the walk, indisputable

Is there anything about this that doesn't reek of elite behavior? Are they holding their lattes in their other hands? Meanwhile, check the dude at right. Nothing elite there, midsummer black hat and scarf.

Yup

Those are lattes.

And drinks afterward.

Gramm and Cindy are gonna do the nasty while McCain watches upstairs later.

I bet they eat arugula too.

And probably wear frilly underwear.

I'm pretty sure their friend from Idaho has told them what a "wide-stance" is.

You're looking at many hundreds of million dollars of wealth right there in that one picture.

But all that doesn't matter 'cause it's the Dems that are out of touch with regular American people.

Have you ever noticed how

Have you ever noticed how many old white dudes surround McCain at his campaign appearances? Look in the background the next time you see him on tv.

Wonder if elitism is the real reason Gramm's stepping down.

Did you see Brokaw this morning?

Al Gore has a 10,000 square foot house and rides around on a private jet.

Guess it doesn't matter if you're a Dem or a Rep to be an elitist.

Gore a 10,000 square foot house and rides around on a private jet.

That's what's great about America, unless your a Dem. It should go something more like:
[Patriotic citizen living the American Dream, as long as he's Republican,] has a 10,000 square foot house and rides around on a private jet. Others must be phony hypocrites.

Calling Algore a phony

Calling Algore a phony hypocrite is an insult to phony hypocrites!

When it comes to elitism in American politics just look at the two most revered Democrats of the 20th century.....Roosevelt and Kennedy.

That's very Christian of you to say

Those two "elite" families probably have done more for the masses than any others in the last 100 years. Remember too, the "elite" tag works both ways. I don't think you really want to play this game. Where did your hero W earn his way to anything?

None of them are living in double wides
What did the Kennedy dynasty

What did the Kennedy dynasty do for the masses besides run bootleg liquor, abandon a bunch of Cuban exiles, practically turn the White House into a brothel, take us to the brink of thermo-nuclear war unnecessarily, have one brother start a war that the other two opposed and run away from a drowning victim named Mary Jo who could have been saved? I'll grant you that Roosevelt was a true American hero, although elitist.

As far as W is concerned, he was born with a silver spoon, no question. He partied hard but eventually gave up the Beam. He was smart enough to beat a couple of Lib elitists for the big job, Algore and John Heinz Kerry.

Look in the mirror, jerk

Those allegations are no more credible or damning than those tying the Bush family to Nazi sympathizers, assassinating FDR, mobsters (brother Neil, who has been known to obtain services of hookers), the bin Laden nexus, etc. etc.

...take us to the brink of thermo-nuclear war unnecessarily

This shows how totally ignorant you are, and notwithstanding your view that there could be a "necessary" reason to take us to nuclear war--this shows how a W sycophant thinks. It would be hopeless to go any further with you.

Tin cup, ever since you showed up you've been a total jerk. You whined like a baby about not being addressed with respect, while showing no respect for anybody or any viewpoint here. Why are you here? That's rhetorical; please don't answer.

This is a progressive blog. Responsible dissent from conservatives is welcomed, but there's been nothing responsible about your comments. If you want to engage in debate, that would be fine. But that would require you sticking to a subject and using facts instead of lies, smears, ad hominem attacks, etc. Moreover your elite attitude just reeks of a troll who can't think beyond a Rush mantra that fits on a bumper sticker.

Now get lost.

gonzone's picture
Agreed

Now get lost

I personally have abandoned any attempts at a conversation with above troll. It works great! No way anything anyone says will penetrate that thickness.
