The thought process and political insight of a McCain voter in Florida:
“I don’t believe these polls,” said America Blanca, a 44-year-old small business owner from Miami who wore a red dress and was visibly pumped up by the rally. “Not one of them. Because it’s the kids answering the polls on the computers. Their parents are not home and they are answering and they will not be voting. I think if he is losing, it is only by a little spread. Very little.” She held the tip of her pointer finger about two inches from the tip of her thumb.
Plus, as a small business owner, Blanca favors McCain’s tax plan. And by “favors his tax plan,” of course, I mean that she hates black people:
Asked if her business made more than $250,000 a year, the cap under which Obama has proposed cutting taxes, she said it did. Told about Obama’s proposal, she answered, “I don’t give a shit. I will never vote for a black man.”
Frankly, I’m a little skeptical. Racism this out front is virtually unheard of, even at John McCain or Sarah Palin rallies. “America Blanca” means “white America,” and Google can’t locate anyone by that name in Miami. I don’t think the reporter made it up, but I can’t imagine anyone giving their real name to a reporter and making on the record comments like these.
