Amazing observation from Alternet. (Might be offensive to some)

[Whovian]

"Here is your brutal nutshell takeaway: If only women voted, Obama wins in a landslide. If only men voted, Romney wins in a landslide. (Taken further: if only Latinos, blacks, celebrities, college grads, professors, scientists, poets, Burning Man attendees, book readers, trees, oceans, major cities or college towns of America voted, Obama nails it wholly and true. If only rich CEOs, gun owners, upper managers, oil companies, rednecks, shut-ins and guys who think Muslims are terrorists, Mexicans are lazy house painters and feminazis are ruining porn voted, Romney is a mutant and faraway god).

All of which leads to the most depressing conclusion of all: older white males remain the most terrified, lopsided, confused demographic in all of America, perhaps even more acutely – and more embarrassingly – in this election than any other in modern history."

Hilarious. And depressing.

1. This old white man agrees.

[reflection]

16. This one does too.

My kind sees their world changing and they don't like it at all.

[localroger]

19. Word.

Early voted straight Democratic, but won't matter in Louisiana.

[dchill]

28. Yep...

Ditto. But then I don't know of any other 61 year-old white males typing on a liberal blog at four freak in' a.m., either. (In my neighborhood, anyway.)

[aletier_v]

2. I'm an older white male

Although I do seem to be atypical.

Today I pondered about creating an Evil Entity and how it might look. Romney kept popping into my head. Usually he is silly and disarming but every fifth sentence makes your head jerk and your eyes squint, and about once a month he says something that chills your backbone and makes your asshole pucker.

Yup.

He's pretty close to my model of Evil.

[Whovian]

6. To you and Scuba

I'm an old white guy too. Winding down but still full of piss and vinegar. Agreed with your view on Romney being a picture of evil.

[NMDemDist2]

3. fear biters

[Brickbat]

4. Ha, that made this dog owner LOL.

[nolabear]

15. EGGZACTLY!!!

[undeterred]

5. Old white males are the biggest problem facing the world today.

[Cha]

7. There's such a slew who come to mind..

romney, cheney and the neocons, bush, addelson, kochroaches..etc etc etc

[Merlot]

22. Here's some more:

Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Ed Asner, Robert Redford, George Soros, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Jerry Brown, Stephen Speilberg, Bruce Springsteen.

Never thought I'd be defending old white men.

[Cha]

23. Oh yeah, There's plenty of the good guys to counteract the

fascist plutocracy in America.

[HiPointDem]

25. old white men should be defended, because blanket descriptions such as in the OP = BS.

[sibelian]

30. HEY.

I'm an older white male and I'm exceptionally humble and nice.

[undeterred]

32. Except for the ones on DU.

[Honeycombe8]

8. I'm not offended by the truth. nt

[Marmitist]

9. Dear Old White Men...

Hurry up and die off so we can move this country and the world forward without your racist, paranoid reactionary bullshit.

Thank you,

The Human Race

[Johnyawl]

10. Dear Marmitist...

...fuck off.

Thank You,

Old White Man

[Whovian]

24. Double LOL! Brilliant!

[aletier_v]

12. Then you should vote for Romney

He's done his part to kill off thousands of older blue-collar white men.

[Merlot]

21. Rest assured there are a lot of younger white angry men as well

There are also racist, paranoid women and men of every race and age.

There are also lotsa old white men who are doing all kind of good stuff in this world.

[HiPointDem]

27. the human race doesn't include old white men? really? what if i put 'women' or 'black' or 'indian'

in there?

i imagine i'd get the post hidden, at the very least.

this is maybe one of the reason some old white men don't vote democratic. why would you vote for a party whose advocates wish you'd die?

[sibelian]

31. No thanks.

Quite happy hanging around being old and white and male.

[Iris]

11. And maybe the end of an era

I heard somewhere through all the election noise that this is the last election where the vote of white men as a whole will have an impact.

[Johnyawl]

13. Old White male gun owner...

...and I'm completely baffled by my peers. I really don't understand why change scares them so much.

[Enrique]

14. it doesn't really make sense to me

it appears to make a point, but I don't think it actually does. I'm not a fan of Mark Morford in general.

[nolabear]

17. In short, the very people we keep voting into office in the first place. But that is changing!

[treestar]

18. And most of them are voting against their own interests in any event

It is too bad they cannot see keeping others "in their place" is not really going to be in their own interests.

[UtahLib]

20. True

But then, their superiority complex would not be sustainable.

[limpyhobbler]

26. The younger people supporting Ron Paul are pretty confused too.

[Shrike47]

29. Hey, I like older white men.

1). All the older white men I associate with voted for O;

2). I'm an older white woman.
