"McCain and Sarah Palin's attack against Obama for advocating "spreading the wealth" and for "socialism" and for pronouncing the civil rights revolution a "tragedy" because it didn't deal with the distribution of wealth is aimed ultimately at white working class undecided voters"

And so is this:  As our black hating friend Daniel Carver may say, "Wake up white people".  They are fucking with you and you are letting them do it.  Let's be clear on this right now: you are not going to become a billionaire in America right now.  That market is cornered and they are not opening it up.  That is what this election is about.  The America you have in your hearts, the American Dream we knew about and the America that you believe that McCain/Palin are speaking to, the bastion of free markets and upward mobility, was killed.  I don't want to peg the date as to when it started dying and then died and then got pissed on by BushCo, but let's be real with each other about this.  'It is not about race now' as my boy Game would say.  We are in this together and I need you and us to be strong and be smart about this.  

Barack, in his flawed way, is going to try and restore this America you have in your hearts.  He is not going to cop out with simple labels like 'Joe the Plumber', 'Mary the Secretary' or other banal platitudes McCain/Palin throw us because they think we are dumb and only going to vote with our reptilian brains.  He is going to speak to you in a different way than you are used to and may enact things you don't agree with (he certainly will enact things I don't agree with) but we need to get past these bullshit labels and move our country forward.  We can.
