Wow. We always knew the Democrats hated working-class white people but to hear them confirm it out loud to the world is Imagine if a Republican had said such a thing, it would be top-story news across all channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, BBC, et al)
'They Don't Need Our Votes' Why would Democrats advertise that they're giving up on the "white working class"?
Our item yesterday on Democrats' giving up on the "white working class" vote, along with Bill McGurn's column on the same subject, got us to puzzling over why. Not why would they do it—the theory that President Obama has irretrievably lost support within this voting bloc, and is better off focusing his attention on minorities and college-educated whites, is entirely plausible. But why would they advertise it?
Imagine an analogous situation: a Republican incumbent who did decently among Hispanics but whose strategists conclude has lost significant support in that segment of the electorate. If they start putting out the word that the GOP is giving up on the Hispanic vote, it would ensure that the party loses more Hispanic votes, and perhaps also the votes of non-Hispanics who don't like the idea that the GOP is anti-Hispanic. It could also do long-term damage to the party's ability to win over Hispanics in future elections.
Would there be any compensating gains? Maybe, if one assumes there is a significant segment of the electorate that is antipathetic toward Hispanics. Similarly, it could be that the Democrats' disrespecting of the WWC is a tactic aimed at playing to the prejudices of other Democratic-leaning voters, especially college-educated whites [such as the spoiled and utterly clueless Occupy Wall Street protestors who play into Obama's class/race wars and want everything given to them for free]. Recall that then-Sen. Obama delivered his notorious disquisition on "bitter clingers" to a well-heeled cackle of rads in San Francisco.
Do we need any further proof that the Democrats are the true party full of bigots and racists? C-D liberals prove it every day.
Good, the Marxists hide no more. Ron Paul is happy to accept the votes of all disgruntled 2008 Obama voters in the primaries regardless of their racial identity!
Stop tyranny, restore liberty.
Ron Paul 2012!

Reason: typo
Hypocrites, seems Democrats do not need Rich White People's Votes, but when it comes to campaign funds, they surely do not mind taking Rich White's People's Contributions. And many Rich White People contriubte regularly to the Democrats.
On one hand, you constantly state how Obama has no chance to get this vote. You love to mention ad nauseum how states like PA are lost because of the white working class vote that has abandoned Obama.
Now Obama is planning on moving on without them and Obama is a bad person. According to you, he is a "racist".
Renault, you truly are the worst kind of conservative.
Fact is, Obama has not discriminated when it comes to throwing groups under the bus. He has screwed us all. Problem is, that it isn't only the "white working class" that realize it. Other ethnic groups are figuring it out too.
