A friend just sent me this story:

“In a local restaurant my server had on an Obama 08 tie. I laughed as he had given away his political preference.  Just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept.

He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need - the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.”

He proves the point here that most of Obama’s supporters are voting for him because of physical characteristics and not because they know anything about his take on the issues.  This is a clip of a man interviewing passers by on the street about whom they are voting for and why.  If they say Obama, he proceeds to ask follow-up questions relating to McCain’s policies and issues.  The people being interviewed are firmly behind the platform McCain is running on and even support Palin as VP! It’s really unbelievable how foolish some people are.  To me, supporting someone just because of their skin color is completely racist.  If the Jolly Green Giant was running on a platform of limited government, civil rights and tax cuts, I’d be behind him all the way.  It’s the issues that matter, people!  Anybody too stupid to understand that shouldn’t be allowed to vote in the first place.

I was reading an article where Ben Jones was discussing the fact that some rural republicans are planning to vote democrat this year.  The political discussion was one-sided and watered-down but when Jones talked about his own life, he spouted one hell of a good quote.

“There was a time in my life when I spent 90 per cent of my money on whiskey and women. The rest of it I just wasted.”
