Am I out of line to finally say where this is heading
that Sarah Palin, killing moose, dropping babies, nutcase fundie, alcoholic DWI convicted husband, creationism advocate and against sex education.... is starting to come across as poor white trailer trash??

Ok... I said it... Seems to me this is where this is headed.

3. That's probably the sort of thing republicans are hoping we'll say....
Regardless of whether or not it's true.

21. Maybe replace disadvantaged for ironically politically advantaged
and perhaps you could add something about the need to hunt bears and caribou to that..

It is true that it's a category but it is not PC to say White Trash...

11. They're counting on smartass lefties
to drag it to that level, so that they can then gain sympathy from the millions of Americans who consciously or not feel that the same label fits themselves.

Personally I don't think we should drag it there, and if Obama has any say, he won't.

18. We do like to think we have a little more class than the RW
Poor white trailer trash is a big part of the base of the RW and GOP.

15. Although I don't think you've put it very elegantly,
it's true that the woman doesn't have much of a pedigree; however that will no doubt be part of her appeal, for some.

who moved to my town from elsewhere (usually the North), knew nothing about my family, cared not that we had been living there for six generations already, cared not that my great-grandfather was a state senator, cared not that my relatives were decent, hardworking, honest, nonracist, Democratic voting folks, but noticed only that we bought our clothes locally, did not have manicures, were not members of the white-only country club, and spoke with a Southern accent:

Fuck. You.
