“And you are talking about the contrast that we have between the philosophy the Republicans have, trusting people, believing in the free market, and the philosophy that the Democrats and liberals have of telling people what to do because they are not smart enough themselves. There is a real good article that was in today's Washington Post that was written by George Will, and it talks about a Wal-Mart that is located in Evergreen Park, Illinois. This is a suburb just a few miles from Chicago's city limit, and that suburb is 88 percent white. But at this Wal-Mart, 90 percent of the customers are African American. Now, one of the women that were interviewed there was pushing a shopping cart, and she had a 3-year-old along, but she had kind of a chip on her shoulder. And she told this interviewer that, well, she applied for a job here and they didn't hire her because the person that was doing the hiring had an attitude. So the interviewer says, well, why are you here? And she looks at the questioner as though he was dimwitted, and directs his attention to the low prices at the DVDs on the rack next to her. Well, it turns out 25,000 people had applied for the 325 openings in that store. Now, this really vexes the liberals, according to what Mr. Will says in his article, liberals, such as John Kerry. He called Wal-Mart disgraceful and symbolic of what is wrong with America. What is wrong with America.…”
