Having just heard another rant from a would be Hillary supporter against the fine US Senator from the State of MO, our own Claire McCaskill, for her support of Barack Obama in the race for the Presidency of the United States on the Charles Brennan Show (KMOX St. Louis), I am trying hard not to explode with explatives deleted.
The Bear is a strong Demo and is a great fan of the brilliant Hillary Clinton but like Claire, is supporting Barack during the primary season. This has become one of the great battles in American political history, this race for the nomination and "Super Tuesday" did not change the chemistry of this race. The candidates are thinking Nebraski and that far northwest beauty Washington this weekend and DC, Maryland, and Virginia loom large on the horizon for more delegates. This is really something.
Now, I'm a White Guy and Barack is a Black/White Guy who has lived all over the place and most recently in the home of the Chicago Blackhawks (not loved by me) as did Hill at one time. Now, what am I supposed to do? Should I not support a Black/White guy because he's black or a lady, because she's well a girl? What the hell should I do? Maybe, support Mayor Bloomberg but of course he's Jewish and short! (He does ride the subway back and forth to work even though he's a zillionaire (maybe that should disqualify him). Lets threaten John McCain or maybe vote for him because he's, well "all white" and from Arizona. Oh, guess what Governor Janet Napolitano, is for Barack too! But Janet is presently one of the greats around the country and you said it, could be a major possibility for VP. But she is from Arizona where they have a lot of those illegal immigrants crossing he border! But their Latinos! And we wouldn't even consider my first choice for Prez, Bill Richardson (Yep, he was a Latino) And Mitt is a Morman and Huck is a Baptist Minister who lost over 100 lbs to look so sleek! But he's from Hope, Arkansas too!
Now back to the ladies of the morning who are threatening our Senator. Over the past two days at least five calls and probably more have come into Mr. Brennan, some while Senator McCaskill was on the air chastising her for not "voting for a woman!" Without being too dramatic, they have told Claire: "We're not going to vote for you next time!" "Woooooo!" Wow: Watch out Caroline Kennedy, Jean Carnahan, Oprah, Cassie Christian (she's a beauty queen), Maria Shriver. Watch out! Their coming but from where? Are they NOW girlies? Are they hotsy totsy Soccer moms?
Are they pseudo intellectual dollies? Are they left overs from Roswell?
Our US Senator, Claire McCaskill has gained national acclairm in her very first term as a US Senator by her solid and candid political prowess and some are even talking VP Candidate.
She says "hell no!" She has been a working Senator for all the people and is not one of these
shrill skanks who must have it all! Imagine being tied down to one of these feminazis! Ugh!
While they have the right to disagree with Claire's stand on the candidates, when they play the "dollie card" they urinate on the sanctification of the "Women"s Movement" which this writer supports. The Bear has in the past supported "The Equal Rights Amendment" (not sure if this is the proper way to gain acceptance as a force) but of course all women should be equal and therefore it is sheer folly when these organizations, (surely not supported by Hill) become overly aggressive.
Senator, if I could vote for you twice I would. You make me proud of the "Show Me" state.
As for the call ins and threats it is evident they are: "Not Broads Where Broads Should Be Broad!"

the following is an article that (for me) sums up the election!
In election 2008, don’t forget Angry White Man
Gary Hubbell
February 9, 2008

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.
His common traits are that he isn’t looking for anything from anyone — just the promise to be able to make his own way on a level playing field. In many cases, he is an independent businessman and employs several people. He pays more than his share of taxes and works hard.
The victimhood syndrome buzzwords — “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” — don’t resonate with him. “Press ‘one’ for English” is a curse-word to him. He’s used to picking up the tab, whether it’s the company Christmas party, three sets of braces, three college educations or a beautiful wedding.
He believes the Constitution is to be interpreted literally, not as a “living document” open to the whims and vagaries of a panel of judges who have never worked an honest day in their lives.
The Angry White Man owns firearms, and he’s willing to pick up a gun to defend his home and his country. He is willing to lay down his life to defend the freedom and safety of others, and the thought of killing someone who needs killing really doesn’t bother him.
The Angry White Man is not a metrosexual, a homosexual or a victim. Nobody like him drowned in Hurricane Katrina — he got his people together and got the hell out, then went back in to rescue those too helpless and stupid to help themselves, often as a police officer, a National Guard soldier or a volunteer firefighter.
His last name and religion don’t matter. His background might be Italian, English, Polish, German, Slavic, Irish, or Russian, and he might have Cherokee, Mexican, or Puerto Rican mixed in, but he considers himself a white American.
He’s a man’s man, the kind of guy who likes to play poker, watch football, hunt white-tailed deer, call turkeys, play golf, spend a few bucks at a strip club once in a blue moon, change his own oil and build things. He coaches baseball, soccer and football teams and doesn’t ask for a penny. He’s the kind of guy who can put an addition on his house with a couple of friends, drill an oil well, weld a new bumper for his truck, design a factory and publish books. He can fill a train with 100,000 tons of coal and get it to the power plant on time so that you keep the lights on and never know what it took to flip that light switch.
Women either love him or hate him, but they know he’s a man, not a dishrag. If they’re looking for someone to walk all over, they’ve got the wrong guy. He stands up straight, opens doors for women and says “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am.”
He might be a Republican and he might be a Democrat; he might be a Libertarian or a Green. He knows that his wife is more emotional than rational, and he guides the family in a rational manner.
He’s not a racist, but he is annoyed and disappointed when people of certain backgrounds exhibit behavior that typifies the worst stereotypes of their race. He’s willing to give everybody a fair chance if they work hard, play by the rules and learn English.
Most important, the Angry White Man is pissed off. When his job site becomes flooded with illegal workers who don’t pay taxes and his wages drop like a stone, he gets righteously angry. When his job gets shipped overseas, and he has to speak to some incomprehensible idiot in India for tech support, he simmers. When Al Sharpton comes on TV, leading some rally for reparations for slavery or some such nonsense, he bites his tongue and he remembers. When a child gets charged with carrying a concealed weapon for mistakenly bringing a penknife to school, he takes note of who the local idiots are in education and law enforcement.
He also votes, and the Angry White Man loathes Hillary Clinton. Her voice reminds him of a shovel scraping a rock. He recoils at the mere sight of her on television. Her very image disgusts him, and he cannot fathom why anyone would want her as their leader. It’s not that she is a woman. It’s that she is who she is. It’s the liberal victim groups she panders to, the “poor me” attitude that she represents, her inability to give a straight answer to an honest question, his tax dollars that she wants to give to people who refuse to do anything for themselves.
There are many millions of Angry White Men. Four million Angry White Men are members of the National Rifle Association, and all of them will vote against Hillary Clinton, just as the great majority of them voted for George Bush.
He hopes that she will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2008, and he will make sure that she gets beaten like a drum.
