... Referring to voters who America has left behind as bitter isn't an insult.  In fact, it's a compliment acknowledging they're smart enough to understand what's happening to them.  The hopeful, those are some idiots.  So what separates the bitter -- my people -- from the idiots?  If you think the Democrats are going to take away your Bible, you're an idiot.  If you think they're going to take away your gun, you're an armed idiot.  And if you think they're going to take away your gun and give it to a Mexican to kill your God, you're Bill O'Reilly.  

Now at the end of last week, when Barack Obama ignited the bittergate scandal, you would have thought he had scaled Mt. Rushmore, d*** slapped Jefferson in the face and spray painted God damn America over Lincoln.  But he wasn't lying.  The truth is that religion and guns and hating gays and immigrants are crutches that people lean on.  So are fast food, crystal meth and child beauty pageants ... but we don't have time to tackle all of American's addictions in one night, so let's focus on the big thing.  That the people who claim to be the non-elitists are the ones who constantly shift tax burdens from the people who fire you to you.

John McCain voted to repeal the estate tax, voted against raising the minimum wage, has no healthcare plan and is fine with keeping the working class in Iraq for a hundred years, but he's a real man of the people.  And the president went to Harvard and Yale and inherited your country from his dad, but he's not an elitist because he can neither read nor write.  What does it take to label someone an elitist these days anyway?  They wear shoes?  They don't buy their groceries at the gas station?  Their dog has a name and their truck doesn't?  You know who's bitter in America?  I am.  Because sh*t-kickers voted twice for a retarded guy who they wanted to have a beer with and everybody else had to suffer the consequences.
