I ...eh ... sorry if I offended anyone w/ that post. I just had a couple bad experiences as a kid regarding "bad teeth." It's kind of almost like a visual indicator of class.<BR/><BR/>I remember in high school dating a girl WAY out of my financial strata (i.e. she came from a rich family, me - not so much). On our first date, her dad asked me - "Oh, you seem to have good teeth. Have you had braces?"<BR/><BR/>Thankfully, yes I had, but only just a couple years prior to this inquisition could my parents finally afford it. It was so weird realizing that the state of my teeth was some threshold indicator about whether or not I was of the proper class to date the man's daughter.<BR/><BR/>Obama has got to understand poor folk, no? I just don't understand why he's done everything possible to make me feel just like that time again. Like me and my petty concern about health care for poor folk so they can have braces is getting in the way of the glamorous audacity of his campaign.Chinaberry Turtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08917878302338229102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-24855812976080853062008-03-27T23:05:00.000-07:002008-03-27T23:05:00.000-07:00Damn - I just say DAMN! It's like you are in my br...Damn - I just say DAMN! It's like you are in my brain Anglachel. WTF!!?? This post just so perfectly explains why I've got mad, mad, mad love for my gal HRC.<BR/><BR/>Anglachel: <I>"Party building ... is about increasing voter identity with a party, because the party is what enables policies and programs to be enacted over time. Individuals do not manage governments, parties do."<BR/>...<BR/>"she is running as a Democrat on every day, not simply an opportunist looking for a way to fiangle his way to a questionable nomination. Her devotion to the party, her willingness to fight for it just as strongly as she fights for herself, is what gives her supporters confidence that she in unafraid to take on the tough battles for us."</I><BR/><BR/>Damn. I tell ya - THAT IS MY GAL. She is so friggin tough and she stands, not for herself, but for the party and what the party represents. I'm down for Hillary b/c she's down for us. The ordinary folk who don't appear in sexy Will.I.Am "Yes We Can" videos. <BR/><BR/>Everything about Obama's whole image and campaign says he hates everything that I love about the Democratic party. I watched that stupid fucking Will.I.Am video. The whole time I noticed all the fucking hollywood stars' teeth. All perfect teeth.<BR/><BR/>If you've ever been around real poor folk, the REAL poor folk in this country who actually NEED the Democratic party, that's one of the first things you'll notice. It is very sad, but they have bad teeth. Why? <BR/><BR/>BECAUSE BRACES COST A SHITLOAD OF MONEY AND THEY DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE TO PAY FOR IT!!!!<BR/><BR/>The whole time I watched that sickening, sexy, Holly-wood-ized "Yes We Can" video, that's all I could think about. This fucking moron doesn't have a CLUE about what the Democratic party is about.Chinaberry Turtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08917878302338229102noreply@blogger.com
