Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild says she's in touch with 'redneck' voters

If she is in touch with redneck voters,

  Why isn't there a confederate flag behind her?

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

Hi Pot, I'm Kettle

Obama's an elitist, and you're calling the average working class voter a redneck?  REALLY?????

Honestly, how can someone simultaneously believe that Hillary Clinton and John McCain would both be great presidents?  If it's one or the other, I can understand.

I've had it with people like this.  I can respect the opinions of die hard neocon Bush lovers more than I can those of people like her.

It's called "doublethink"

Orwell nailed it: The ability to hold two contradictory ideas in one's mind at the same time, while firmly believing in both.

It was disturbing enough when it was fiction... but now, with this upperclass twit performing it in earnest and with no irony... AAUUGH!

I voted for Hillary Clinton in the primary, then went on to join Women for Obama. Because my mama didn't raise no fool.

Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride

Hope she likes the view from under the bus!

I'm not sure the McCain campaign's going to have her on the talking head circuit for long.

Maybe she'll say hi to Carly Fiorina when she sees her in Repugnacan purgatory.

BTW everyone, make sure you check out this website and e-mail your friends and family about it too.  (The title's not what it appears to be.)  The video is great!!

Elistist?

She's calling Obama an elitist? He's not the one married to a man with royal titles from TWO countries!

Not royal

The Rothschilds are not royalty.  Never were.  Never will be. But she is a royal nitwit.

Bottom line...

Even with this, the McSame-Palindromes will call Obama an elitist because Barbra Streisand supports him.

She and Carly prolly will be in purgatory along with Phil Gramm - which would amount to running the party suite, the Carly and 'Lady' supplying it with Christal whilst Grammy supplies it with new investment de-regulations as party favors.

Like all too many "Champagne Socialists"

and I speak as one who belonged to that clique, her elitism and subtle racism, as well as her classism shines through, startling us all with it's crude and overt ugliness.

She can wrap her mind around a Hillary Clinton, Wellesley grad, leading a liberal state, she was probably in raves over Tony Blair, good schools, conservative background, but an Obama is totally outside of her experience.

Of course the "servants," the "rednecks," will vote as their masters tell them, as they do in any old family home.

Sorry Lynn, your overeaning condescension for anyone outside of your priviledged circle is expressed like a command to the kitchen staff.

It is, to use the ultimate upper class Brit term of disapproval, "tiresome."

God bless Campbell Brown

She tried her hardest to get Lynn to come up with any rational reason why she would throw her money behind a candidate who is nearly opposite to Hillary's positions.  Not interested in talking about that though.

I pray to God Lady de Rothschild does go on the campaign trail for McCain.  One more elitist, out of touch, Chanel-wrapped British aristocrat, disingenuously spouting off about how much they care about those of down here.  Would be the best thing possible for Obama.  Dickens couldn't write it any better.  

It's clear that there are a few bunched panties in the DNC who aren't used to close races in the primary.  Too bad they aren't bigger fans of democracy.

The "Lady" and the "Gentleman"

Both deRothschild (is that her real name?) and Senator Lieberman are turncoats and traitors to the Democratic Party's beliefs and platform goals. Both need to be dumped and exiled quickly by the Party, especially the "Lady", who is a member of the Democratic National Committee.

I guess I'm a Redneck

She is just a rich dillitante (or however the upper class spells it - remember, I'm just a redneck). She was probably expecting to be appointed an ambassador if HRC won and knows that won't happen in an Obama administration. So now she is picking up her toys and going elsewhere just like the spoiled little rich kid she is. BTW, I supported HRC and I'm too smart to be taken in by the McSame bunch. I have more intrgrity and than this elite bitc -- uh, person. Let's just call her as she is appearing - a racist.

And another thing

I love how dR's only real excuse for voting McCain is that she "doesn't like" Obama and then proceeds to berate Brown for not furthering the dialogue in a meaningful way.

She's quite literally clutching her pearls.

I have a Theory...

Does anyone else think John McCain is trying to lose this election?  Think about it--Bush and Co has ruined our economy and some mighty bad times are ahead.  Could it be the GOP wants to lose this one, and hand their mess over to the Democrats???

by: johnson @ Thu Sep 18, 2008 at 12:27:55 PM CDT

My theory is worse than your theory

I think the GOP want to win.  Then they can have McCain declared incompetent and put Palin in the White House.

Palin thinks so too!

She just announced there would be a Palin/McCain administration!  No joke.  Check out the clip at DailyKos.  it's scary.

My guess is that McCain is very ill and his campaign is hiding it from the press.  That would make for another reason why he's not available as he used to be, and the GOP poobahs plan to install Palin as Sheena Queen of the Jungle.
