I've lived and worked and gone to school and paid taxed in towns ranging from 2000 people (1/3 the size of Wasilla) to 4 million people, in 3 different time zones. I'm appalled and vastly offended by the McCain campaign statements (Palin's and Pfotenhauer's) about the Real and Fake, American loving and America hating, Patriotic and Unpatriotic parts of America. The Daily Show dedicated their show to dissecting these statements Monday night, here, and here (quiz). Truly a poignant perspective. Then, later, Jason Jones filed his best report ever from "Wasilla Main Street", here.
Truly despicable. Reminds me of W's "I'm a uniter" load of crap.

I grew up in Alexandria, VA which has been called the "communist" part of VA and is considered the un-'Merkin part of VA by the McShamefuls. I went to college however in Blackburg,VA in the foothills of the Appalachians which certianly would be labelled part of "Real'Merkuk!"[tm]. I however doubt the college population (student and faculty) in general would vote Repugnican. Maybe the townies would, but they are outnumbered at least 4:1.

What is it... that wherever there's alot of people who THINK and LEARN that they tend to be Democrats? Blackburg VA, Charleston SC, Austin TX, Bloomington IN, what is it about those kinds of places? ;-)

ReplyDeleteThat's because people think and learn just enough in these places to buy into the idea that Democrats offer substantial differences from Republicans :)
