Yellow Dogs won’t vote Red
Posted by ReactionaryHeard on the Street - I was hanging around with some Yellow Dog Democrats today, talking local politics, when one them said he wasn’t voting for Obama because “I’m not voting for a Communist“. This group of Yellow Dogs all agreed with that statement - not one defended Obama.
They don’t like Jeremiah Wright and Black Liberation Theology, they don’t like Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers, and they don’t like Obama.
Note that these people don’t listen to talk radio, don’t spend much time (if any) on the Internet, and are leaders and contributors in local Democratic politics…

I have found much less of this since the convention, but you do raise a point that has troubled me. I still believe that most Democrats will come home in November, but the problem lies with how moderate voters feel if Democrats feel this way. This is why I advocated for people voting for Clinton in the primaries and why I commented that John McCain would be the strongest nominee, regardless of what you think of him ideologically. He at least had the most moderate record of the major GOP candidates and gives him SOME amount of credibility in regard to “change.”

What, Yellow Dog Democrats? If not completely ideologically, I would consider myself among them as far as my voting record goes. If not them, you maybe wondering what moderates I know? Not many.

Maybe the Dems need another Commie purge, it worked last time, at least for a few years…

Did this take place at Mullins? I agree with the point. Jackson County is majority democratic but I can guarantee many will not vote for Barack. Especially after Rev. Wright.

Obama might send them to re-education camps if I reveal too much about them
wayne - same people. These Yellow Dogs were pretty depressed, after a lifetime of loyalty to the Democratic Party, the scales are falling from their eyes…

Oh, I know Brian. I was laughing along with you. Sorry, if I sounded serious.
