7. They do this ON PURPOSE...
It's their "code word" for saying we're not "elitists" when in reality they are elitists.

It's how they convince "rural Americans" that they are one of them.

It's cultural warfare.

9. I know this is true for "Democrat [sic] Party." That one started way back with Joseph McCarthy...

And it's definitely a "code" slur.

Didn't know that "nuc-u-lur" was also in this category, but I put nothing past our right-wing "friends."

8. In "Dr. Strangelove," even Slim Pickens pronounces the word "nuclear" correctly!
Granted, with his accent it comes out like "nukl'r" -- But still, old Slim (RIP) was more literate that * and Mooselini! :grr:

10. I never in my wildest dreams imagined
that after enduring eight years of Bush, this country would be poised to put someone just as vapid, incoherent, and ignorant so close to the Oval Office.

It is incomprehensible that with a population of 300 million people to choose from, this happens twice in a row.
