An Open Letter to Middle America

Dear Middle America,

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee, good citizens of the area derisively called "fly-over country". The Republican power-brokers hold you in contempt, and find you to be ignorant trolls who eat whatever is fed to you.

Evidence Item A

Apparently people from other countries being interested in an American presidential candidate is a downside to electability. Because everybody knows the only good leader is one who pisses off the Germans.

McCain's camp is putting this shit out there to make them seem all "man of the people". That should be a hard thing to do for a man who is the son and grandson of admirals and married into one of the richest families in Arizona. I'm sure all of you can relate to his bargain-basement shoe selections (only $500!).

Please wake up, and realize that the Republicans don't give a shit about you, unless you have a trust fund, are a CEO, or have thousands of faithful Christians at your command. It might be true that the Democrats don't give a shit either, but they certainly have an economic plan much friendlier to you. Think about this the next time some asshole CEO closes down a factory in your rust belt town so he can cash another bonus check, or your aunt is denied treatment for her chronic medical condition.

Sincerely,

Andrew C. Tate
