<<Are these one issue voters evil? Well a few are of course, but most of them are not.>> All evil - of course not.....dogmatic and closed minded - absolutely.

steve, you're all over the place. Even Obama was not supposed to win according to your theory of dissing the rural "god and guns" voters The "god and guns" voters are not worth trying to change, fuck them... if at some point they have an epiphany then, ok, welcome back to reality we welcome you... but until then it's their problem Obama was caught in an uncharacteristic moment of loose language. Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said: "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." The comments were seized on by his rival for the Democratic party candidacy, Hillary Clinton, who saw in them the hope of reviving her flagging campaign by turning voters in the important Pennsylvania primary on April 22 against what she classed as Obama's revealed "elitism". "I was taken aback by the demeaning remarks Senator Obama made about people in small-town America," she said on Saturday. "His remarks are elitist and out of touch." Clinton campaigners in North Carolina handed out stickers saying: "I'm not bitter."
