Who to vote for? Trent or Barry?

QOTD #1:
"You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything"
- Trent Reznor, "Closer"
And QOTD #2:
"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
- Barry O'Bama, April 2008
I'll bet you a dollar that Barry is smarter than I am. Heck, two dollars!

Why is then, that the obvious point is missed... Barry, being smart ain't the be-all and end-all. And surprise, religion isn't the opiate of the masses. Registered gun owners and hunters aren't committing crimes and killing people. People who want to control who crosses into our country are not bigots.

Of course, the viewpoint fits the agenda. We need Barry and the feds to save us from religion and guns and bigots and rich people and companies and so on and so on.
OK. I'll pass actually.

Does this mean that Barry himself isn't really religious? Got me?
Does this mean that Barry is an expedient populist who will say anything to appease the crowd he's in front of? Yup.
No knock on Barry though... same as the old boss.
Yeah, when did Jimmy Carter malaise come back in fashion? YIKES!

Vote for Trent!
yow, bill
