Aspen Times

There's a weekly newspaper in Aspen that carried an article on February 9 written by Gary Hubbell. You can read it on line at http://www.aspentimes.com/.

This article has received over 300 responses.

Gary writes about a segment of the population that gets no attention from the presidential candidates. They all pander to special groups like single parents, illegals, gays, etc. but few address the group Gary calls Angry White Men.

Mr. Hubbell describes a segment of the population that votes every time. His category includes all ethnic backgrounds, working classes, and religions. He speaks of men who work hard, ask for a level playing field, come from all political viewpoints, and will vote down Hillary with her victim approach and inability to offer a straight answer to honest questions regarding her gifting his tax dollars to folks who refuse to do anything for themselves.

The Angry White Man is not soft, helpless, or selfish. He's not racist but willing to give all a fair chance if they work hard, play by the rules, and learn English.

Will this group decide the outcome in November? A majority of them voted for George W.

'til later
