Charles Pierce is in Iowa. Go read the whole thing. Seriously good writing.--SS
Dennis is a retired TWA mechanic, and Don worked for Kansas City Power and Light for over 20 years, and also was an official in an IBEW local. They are shopping around for someone to get behind during this election year. They are not optimistic. "It's big money and it's big business, and it doesn't reflect the views of working-class people like us," Dennis said. "Corporations are not people. See what I mean? The people's wishes. I don't even follow Santorum, but I'll bet, here's what we're gonna talk about. We're gonna talk about the moral issues. We're gonna talk about abortion. We're gonna talk about all those things that are pretty much settled.
"There's a trick in the horse industry that we learned before we had sedatives that, if you grab a horse by the lip, and squeeze it, he forgets about anything else. It's called 'twitching.' That's what they do to us. They twitch us with all that other stuff and pass over the important issues. Not gonna talk about jobs, either, because they're not here, and they know where they went, but they're not gonna do anything to bring them back."
Seriously: read the rest.--SS
