No, I'm not intrinsically superior to them or anyone else, which is kind of the point. But you're right, it's probably not a mature thing to do. It's just that I can't resist the temptation to negatively affect the quality of their lives, even in such a small way. They deserve that.
Regarding 1988, I agree with the Republican strategists and don't believe they're wrong in their assessment of their base. I've been white for a long time, and you don't have to be particularly perceptive to see the racism underlying so many code issues. I believe that a lot of these people couldn't give less of a damn about the few welfare dollars that are spent. They perceive it as being a black problem and that angers them, in the same way that they were infuriated about O.J. Simpson, who killed two people, but didn't seem to care one way or the other about John Godi's acquittals.
But racism isn't the only weapon available and, IMHO, the Democrats should use similar tactics. Why not accuse him of being a deserter, coward, cheat, thief, alcoholic, drug addicted wife beater. Most of it is true. Why not use it?
