Hillary “109 Million in 2007″ Clinton and John “Eight Homes” McCain sure have their finger on the pulse of what makes the average American making $36,276 (2006 numbers) a year tick.

Degenerate scum.

We’ve been hearing for the last 15 years how “Red America” is different, how the people who live there don’t share big city values, how they see the world differently from the rest of us.

Of course, all that noise was coming from the GOP and its apologists. Let a Dem suggest such a thing, just once, and there’s a wail that drowns out every other audible sound.

Counterpunch, ya wimps!
