Views From a NASCAR Liberal

According to most of the media, NASCAR fans are all conservatives, well here is a NASCAR fan that is going to dispute that myth. No longer is NASCAR just a bunch of back woods, tobacco chewing, inbred, moon shiners from south of the Manson Nixon line. NASCAR fans now come from all walks of life and from all 50 states. Most of us are regular people who just like watching fast cars race down a straightaway and turn left all day. It is a time for us to kick back on a Sunday afternoon and knock back a couple of cold ones while preparing for a week at our day jobs.
At the beginning of the year we have the biggest race of the year, the Daytona 500, and Shrub decided to visit. He played it like he was this huge racing fan, unfortunately for the Republicans most people saw through the ruse for what it was, a blatant attempt to win votes. Hey Dubya, after spending hundreds of dollars to watch a race in person, people have this weird little quirk, like being able to watch the start of the damn race. They don't like being unable to get to the track because of your "Presidential" motorcade. They don't like being stuck in the concession area because of your "Presidential" entourage is taking its sweet ass time getting to your seat. Depriving these fans of the start of the start of the NASCAR season is like a guy going to a whorehouse and being unable to get a chubby until the hour is almost up, you get to the end but the thrill was gone. Here is another piece of advice for our esteemed Presidential looking Howdy Doody, if your going to claim to be a fan, stay for the whole race, not just until the cameras are off and then leave faster than a fart in a windstorm.
NASCAR Dads are men who want a good job, where they can earn enough of a wage where they are able to buy a house in a safe neighborhood, and raise their families. NASCAR Moms are women who want affordable healthcare, safe food, water, and good schools. NASCAR kids want a future where they can be whatever they want instead of being in debt up to their eyeballs to pay for the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
I admit in the past most of NASCAR would vote Republican because they believed that the party stood for fiscal responsibility, family values, and a strong defense. But now they are beginning to see the Republicans for what they are, whores for corporate America. They see the Republicans take trillions of dollars in a budget surplus and spend it on themselves instead of investing in good schools, the environment, and prescription drugs for our senior citizens. They see corporate welfare, Bermuda tax shelters, and corrupt tax system that shifts the burden from the rich to the working middle class, and poor.
So Mr. President if I were you, I would not count on a majority vote for you coming from NASCAR fans, there will still be the stubborn, bib overall wearing, talk like you've got a mouth full of shit rednecks who will not see the light, but for the most part, this NASCAR liberal sees a win for the Democrats in the upcoming election. After all, the whole premise of NASCAR is to turn left and the turn has been made.
