If almost 20% of rural voters believe Barack Obama is a muslim, it's because they choose to. And if they won't vote for him because of that, they're just coming up with "reasons" to justify their continuing to vote in a party that is so obviously non representative of their interests. Call it plain old racism - there's nothing fancy and nuanced about it. And if these people can talk themselves into thinking that Sarah Palin is somehow qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency just so they don't have to look at a black man running the country - well then we can all thank them for their careful consideration while the country continues it's slide into the toilet. I would really, really, really like to hear someone justify re-electing a Republican after these 8 disastrous years - how can an UNEMPLOYED truck driver vote to keep in the party responsible for the economy that has him unemployed??? It is mind boggling. Unfortunately the rest of us get the government that these numb nuts deserve.
What a sad, sad time.
