76. Wealthy people and racists

Sat Oct 6, 2012, 08:42 AM

Oct 2012

That has been very disappointing to me these past 4 years.

When the candidate is as horrendous as Romney is, there really are only 2 reasons to be supporting him:

1) one is upper income and one thinks it is in one's self-interest financially to support him

2) one is a racist.

OK. Let's say that 20% of the public really relates to the financial side of things. And I'll give you another 10% who will just automatically vote GOP without thinking about anything. That still gives us 20% who try to make up every excuse in the book, but it boils down to racism.

When McCain was running, he had some redeeming qualities, and some people were excited by Palin, so the racist core wasn't as obvious. Today it is laid bare.
