when the "elites" "liberals" "city-dwellers" or whatever criticize the ill-informed voting patterns of the parts of the country that gave us 8 years of hell under George Bush and 8 years of hell under Reagan, we are shaouted down by the media, denounced by politicians, and hauled through the mud? Why is it unfashionable to be educated, metropolitan, and worldly? I'm sorry, but yes, it's true - uneducated rural people have to be "extra-convinced" to vote for a black man... any little mistake and it's over for him with the "rubes" as you put it? What does this tell you? I am so sick and tired of this I'd like to have a beer with him politics bull that my head just wants to explode. If the "gods, guns, and gays" crowd is so smart, then why are we in the situation we find ourselves in now? Please answer that for me.
