http://nation.foxnews.com/president...mpaign-plans-abandon-white-working-classThe Future of the Obama Coalition By THOMAS B. EDSALL, The New York Times For decades, Democrats have suffered continuous and increasingly severe losses among white voters. But preparations by Democratic operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the party will explicitly abandon the white working class. All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment � professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists � and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.

Teachers??
Who would have guessed...
If all the members of the teachers unions didn't vote, do you think that maybe things would be a little different?
These are the people who fill the minds of your children with ideas that go against the reality of common sense and logic..
Not saying all of them are screwballs..
It's a great life if you don't weaken..

the democrats abandoned the white working class decades ago...it's just taken this long for some of its members to wise up to the fact.

Nope.
That's FoxNews' interpretation and headline - the NY Time's headline is something much different.
Furthermore, regurgitating FoxNews' misleading headline is akin to lying and doesn't reflect well on the OP.
This is why FoxNews viewers are more misinformed (I'll be nice and not use the word "stupid") than even those who watch no news at all.

Horseshit to your horseshit.
First Paragraph, second sentence of the NYT article:
"But preparations by Democratic operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the party will explicitly abandon the white working class."
So what part of the headline is incorrect?

Here's the actual NYT piece for you to read and judge for yourself.
"At the bottom of the pyramid, America is a ruthlessly punitive and accountability-obsessed society. At the top of the pyramid, it is endlessly forgiving. Before trust can be restored, accountability has to be established."

The 2012 approach treats white voters without college degrees as an unattainable cohort. The Democratic goal with these voters is to keep Republican winning margins to manageable levels, in the 12 to 15 percent range, as opposed to the 30-point margin of 2010
Have we redefined the word "abandon" now?

Not saying all of them are screwballs.. I hope you aren't saying all of us are screwballs...believe it or not, there are some teachers who hang out here and find ways to teach things like wildlife management and the role hunting plays in society today to students in biology classes. I am trying to do my part to help teach common sense and logic and, yes, I do take it a bit personal when teachers as a whole are put down.

Have we redefined the word "abandon" now? Do I have to put the word in the middle of the freaking sentence from the article in bold for you? Edsall used the word in his opener. Not like FN pulled it out of thin air. Jesus....

If they'd only get creative while they have their faces buried in the Dem's crotches. Maybe try doing the alphabet with their tongues.
