Our contest is officially closed...unless you come up with some more gems. It was epic. It was amazing. And frankly, how can you top 69 ways to say "White" without saying white? Now, I had another clip to post but I didn't want to get a lecture from Zora if I put it up. The above video will have suffice. So--insert drum roll--the final count is:
1. Values voter
2. Heartland
3. Mainstream voter
4. Hard-working Americans
5. Lunch pail voters

16. Joe Six Pack
17. Joe Lunch Pail
18. Hockey Mom/Hockey moms
19. American Workers
20. Work Force
21. Regular Folks
22. Ma and Pa Kettle
23. My (or your) neighbors

47. Folks in the heartland
48. Decent, hard-working people
49. Christians
50. God-fearing Americans
51. The people who want to have a beer with the sort of candidate who might like to have a beer with them

"Lakefront liberals" and "swing state voters" were certainly in the running, but for reasons of poetic license it seemed oh so appropriate to end the contest at the number 69. What phrase or name on our list do you think is the most creative so that we can give out our inaugural prize?

Most creative? "The Recycling Bloc."
Most depressingly cliche? "Values voters, Middle America, Ordinary people."
this.is.a.fool...
and nothing says "WHITE" like "Citizens of Kennebunkport" fa'sho!
great post. this is my first time here so I'll start lurking, if you dont mind.

Fantastic list, Chauncy, and oh-so-apt and offensive to non-white Americans. I think #48 "Decent, hard-working people", is the one that makes me choke the most.
Quarterback. Unathletic big man/swingman. Winter Olympics medallist. Larry Bird.
Genius. I just love how reality can be so humoring at times. My most animate reaction was from the "decent, hard-working people" line. Best pic, handsdown (don't believe me, look at your hands now!)
This post is one of the most creative that I have seen on the net.
I like #1 most of all, cuz you know the rest of us folk don't have no dern values
Wow, what a list. I would suggest you add 'family man' or any term with the word 'Dad' in it, because as we all know..ahem, ahem.
That's amazing. I think during election
Time I heard almost every single one of
those expressions uttered on Fox News
on a loop. You see, I watch Fox b/c
I think their outright mental manipulation
is easier to see through and thereby
get the real news. The other channels
are trickier b/c they pretend to not
be what Fox so prouldy is.
Anyway, I think you called it. I'd like$
To submit for approval, "green voters"
And "the law and order vote"
God Bless,
Cassandra.
I actually pity whites. The mental illness is so far ingrained, they have no hope of redemption.
