Original article: What small-town America is saying about Obama

Palin vs. Obama and small town America

I guess every country gets the government it desreves. If most people in this country are so stupid (yes, I mean STUPID) that "intellectualism" is seen as a negative trait and shooting moose, riding snowmobiles, believing in Creationism, the Rapture, speaking in tongues, LYING one's way through life for political gain and allowing teenage girls to get pregnant, without the benefit of sex education and the ability to make and "intelligent" choice, then; the good ole USA deserves McCain/Palin.

A sad day, indeed. Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams et al, must be doing some rapid turns in their graves.
