There is a great amount of interest in this year’s presidential elections, as everybody seems to recognize that our next president has to be a lot better than George Bush. The Democrats are riding high with two groundbreaking candidates — a woman and an African-American — while the conservative Republicans are in a quandary about their party’s nod to a quasi-liberal maverick, John McCain.

Each candidate is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of special-interest groups, ranging from gay, lesbian and transgender people to children of illegal immigrants to working mothers to evangelical Christians.

There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man. The Angry White Man comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from urban sophisticate to rural redneck, deep South to mountain West, left Coast to Eastern Seaboard.

I'm one of those angry white men. The Bush years have really pissed me off. I'm voting for Obama.

Gary Hubbell is a regular columnist with the Aspen Times Weekly.
I'd be an angry white man if I were Gary Hubbell, who just had you rip off his article and post it here.

You didn't even leave your own comments.

Angry white men can't be gay? I like hunting. I love football on a rainy field when the home team is wearing white pants. *grunt*

I don't consider it ripping it off as you put it. I'm spreading his word for others to consider. I don't feel any comments are needed. This says it all for me.

Why would you vote for someone who supported a National Ban on Concealed Carry? I guess gun rights aren't important to you...

Mostly Conservative


The victimhood syndrome buzzwords — “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” — don’t resonate with him..
Oh God no! He goes for a entire article to show that he is a victim.
