I just skimmed through an article about gays being dissatisfied and demanding more from President Obama.  Mentioned in passing was a Latinos for Obama event.  No, I’m not even going to bother linking to it, just take my word that it exists.  Now I’m not saying all gays and Latinos are malcontents, not at all.  But it’s a safe bet any of them involved in a “…for Obama” event are pissed off about something.  They’re not holding fundraisers out of gratitude for the bounty available to them in this fine country.

Sometimes the Democrat party will latch onto a demographic of malcontents that doesn’t even exist, and of course the media will lap it up like half starved kittens given a bowl of milk.  In 1996, the media were happily reporting how “soccer moms” were for Clinton.  Soccer moms were harried mothers who drove their kids to soccer games in SUVs, who for some reason thought Clinton could help them out.  Help them out of their clothes, perhaps, but malcontents never think things through very well.  (Soccer moms were the only people who could drive SUVs with media approval, by the way.  There are always perks with being a Democrat party-approved demographic.)

Of course, the mainstream media confers credibility on who can attract the most malcontents.  We’ve all heard them tut-tut about how the Republicans have trouble with the _____ vote, you can fill in the blank.  The _____ are always people who are disgruntled about what government isn’t doing for them yet.  Ultimately, it means that people who are satisfied with the country have less cred than those who aren’t.  Kinda strange once you drill down into it and see it from this angle, isn’t it?
