LIVE : from RED STATE Election Heaquarters »

What these people see on tv, versus what they are really thinking are two very different viewpoints. The fact is that this country still cannot shake the Civil War. They are not RED states, they are STILL GREY states.

May 11, 2008, 4:03 p.m.BoxMonkey thank you for saying what I was thinking. "Rednecks" live pretty much every where. I keep getting e-mails from family and friends about Obama being a Muslim. This is even after I sent them a reply countering it, with proof. Some people just don't/can't/want to hear the truth.
*******
Good submission MCC!

LMAO hahahahahahahaaaahahaaaaha.
That stuff even goes on out here in the so called liberal state of CA. I've heard it at work from the truck drivers who come in.
One even had a sign on his truck asking if you'd vote for a Muslim for president.
I asked him who the Muslim running for president is. He looked at me like I was stupid and said Obama. I couldn't help myself. I started laughing at his stupidity. I said so his pastor The Reverend Wright is a Muslim? Why haven't they reportd that on all the news channels. Instead of knocking him for damning America.
That driver just looked at me like. Huh?????? I said well yeah with all the grief Obama has rec'd over Wright I'm pretty sure they would have nailed him for being a Muslim.
He just stood there stupid and confused. Scary, guys like that can drive a truck. LOL

May 11, 2008, 3:49 p.m.There will always be those that believe the lies, half-truths, and innuendo that are spread by a few because they are just too damned lazy to go out and verify the facts. Fortunately their numbers seem to be small, at least from my observations, and showing them the truth is usually enough to correct their thinking.
Those that continue to spread the lies, half-truths, and innuendo, even when shown the real facts are, in my opinion, the lowest scum on the planet for they are doing so to spread a political ideology that has no place in this Nation.

May 11, 2008, 3:55 p.m.Yeah, but it makes a great conversation piece when people need someone to blame for their frustration (which can be short term) versus misery (which is a lifelong assessment)..
The Republicans are great at stirring frustration while ignoring the misery, and democrats are great at discussing misery, which stirs frustration..THAT is why the Dems lose..No one wants to think long term..No one wants to pay to fix the bridge..they'd rather grieve over those who died in its tragic crumbling and the ensuing deaths, but not invest in the prevention of other such occurrences.
This is evident in W. Va. mine implosions, bridge collapses and floods..
Republicans are consoling undertakers and Democrats are insurance salesman. The south doesn't understand the value of insurance, and the north doesn't understand the importance of when to stop selling too much!

Yeah, lies like: McCain said the Iraq War will last 100 years. Or: Global Warming is caused by man and will ruin the world.
Pity people don't take the time to learn the facts.

May 12, 2008, 3:13 a.m.They're actors N2N :P I don't think people actually act that way so blatantly really, but it is a bit of a mind-set. My own mother looks at Hillary Clinton and says "You can't trust anything that woman says". She rather likes Barack Obama though, so at least it isn't a partisan dislike (despite her voting for Bush in 2000). Living around here I do see some fools who display the Confederate flag and I just think to myself "Don't they even know we were in the Union?". Its sad and funny at the same time and if you ask them, they always vote for the party that opposed there dear South during the Civil War. Now its not a common mind-set in the South and I'm not South bashing. The North has its equivalents...

May 12, 2008, 3:16 a.m.Oh, I laughed at this. I really, really did. I see people who act like this at least once a month and my state was even blue during the Civil War, if red now. I always chuckle when I see bumper stickers saying the South will rise again... luckily, its a minority from what I've noticed and the North does have its equivalents.
