BLUE COLLAR-WHITE COLLAR-NO COLLAR
Until recently I actually believed that most of the 300 million people in this country either watched or listened to the top rated cable news/political or radio shows.
But I then discovered that the very top rated shows only had at the best of times, one million tuners in. So what about the other 299 million? But this isn't about ratings, the key word here is "shows." Yes, shows. They are independent and usually only broadcast scripts they are handed to them by the producers and possibly even the advertisers. After all if I was paying millions of dollars to have my product advertised I'd want a say in what was being broadcast. I'll bet you never had that thought did you? I remember the time when President Johnson knew we had lost the war in Vietnam. How did he know? Walter Cronkite told him so. I know back then it was called the evening news but that's only because no one considered calling it "Just ask Walter." And where does all this rambling lead to? Pennsylvania, the so called "turning point primary" or the "win or lose state" or the "gotta win state" and to pull off that win the candidates must cater to the uneducated, non-skilled, shot and beer population. At least that's what the other forty-nine other states have been told. In fact Pennsylvania was and still is "The Keystone State" the cornerstone of our country. I grew up in that state where Coal was King, the modern wonders of the world were built with steel that came from us, we have the finest colleges, universities, medical and law schools than any other state. And to make it simple, all those people didn't leave to go to New York, they stayed, grew their families and continued their careers. It's probably the most diversified population in our country and it will continue regardless of the political incorrectness of being referred to as Blue Collar, White Collar and No Collar state.
So beware my friends, Pennsylvania isn't to be trifled with when it comes to electing our next President. They know what's best for their country, because they tuned into the new show, "Just ask Clay!"
