One side is calling me an elitist and the other side is calling me an old fart. I'm both. Actually, though, Obama has not himself called me an old fart, just his supporters. If they could learn to be a little more respectful, I think they would find that many of us old farts are very glad to see them in the Democratic Party. Hillary has herself been railing about elitists, which really is right out of the Republican handbook, so I guess that's why I'd have to go with Obama. Does Hillary not realize that much of the growing support for Democrats is coming from suburban elitists like me? I'm starting to think she just takes us for granted as she scrambles for blue collar votes at our expense. But we never did anything to these blue collar guys. These salt-of-the-earth types she's so hot on really do tend to vote Republican. I have nothing against these folks. I grew up as one of them. I don't want to take their guns, I have no problem with their religion, I'd like to see them have decent jobs and I'd really like to see their kids stop dying in Iraq. If taxes are raised I'll be the one paying more. Still, for some reason, they resent me and call me a latte-sipper and an elitist.. I think this is because Republicans have pounded on us elitists for so long and now Hillary is doing it. As far as i'm concerned, it's their problem if they think I'm the problem. I'm not. Frankly, I’m not sure what to do. One side is calling me an elitist and the other side is calling me an old fart. I’m both.
