2. they didn't seem all that bad
Most didn't come across as the frothing hatemongers at the Palin rallies. The older guy, James Sweeney(?) now he was going right towards that direction though. I like how he said that he don't think of the Clintons, lol. That guy probably owes his whole life to good liberal policies. Oh wait, I'm sure according to his principles he never went to a public school and he doesn't accept his Social Security and Medicare benefits.

Yeah compared to a Palin rally these people are pretty calm. Mostly white, rural small town churchgoers. I grew up in a town like that, people tend to be naturally conservative. They hunt, fish and go to church. Most people in this town were Dems, so I think an underlying theme could be race though. It is in my hometown. I know good people who probably never have seen more than 2 black people in their lives and I heard a few use the N word. My friend's dad, one of the nicest most honest people I've ever met, said it once. It shocked me. I can see people in a town like this being like that.

4. Wow,
An entire county of uber religious, racist freaks. This reminds me why I don't like the state of Texas (except Austin).

11. Texans voted for Obama over 50% in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and S Texas.
Also El Paso and Big Bend country. We're not all bad. Alot of us are just like the rest of the country.

9. You cannot petition the lord with prayer
Must be a slow news day at CNN.
So what did Sarah Palin and John McKeating do to earn their trust?


At least they know how to deal with the "colored" problem.:sarcasm:

12. I would love to cut off every thing that the Democrats have worked to provided for these parasites.
Home loans, GI bill, Social Security, Child labor laws, FDA, forty hour work week, education, electricity, phone service, roads, clear water, sewage treatment, etc.

13. County population, which they never get around to, is 356.
Of course, starting with that would've made for a less interesting story. :eyes:

33. yeah I noticed that
They mentioned Obama got just over 4% of the vote, and then admit that was 8 voters. Which means the 92% people who voted for McCain (not sure who the remainder voted for) amount to a whopping 184 people. There were probably more people who voted for Obama on my BLOCK than in that whole county.

But I'm just a heathen city dweller, so nobody considers me part of 'the real america'.

15. The old cranky guy is just like my dad.
That was the most racist part of the piece--saying that Obama is not making a move without consulting Bill and Hill. Why? It's saying that an African American can't think for himself. And that's what they truly believe.

The lady with the horses is just like my mom--she "hopes" Obama will do a good job but will have to "wait and see".

18. Seems as though the average
I.Q. in King county is about equal to the percentage of votes Obama received. Oh, and I'm totally pissed to learn Barack gets his marching orders from the Clintons!

19. Irrelevant.
8 Votes made up 4% of the county? I've run nursing homes that had more people in them than that.

20. I LOVE THAT OLD MAN!
Whatever else he may be, the old guy has the right idea about the Clinton's. Or Neocon Lite (tm), as I prefer to call them. You really think that SOS position was based on qualification? Puuulleeeeeaaase. It was either the top cabinet position or wreck the Party. That's just the way these arky saw barefoot swamp jumpers roll. The Democratic "Southern Strategy" personified. YEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW! dingy ding dong dung ding dingy ding ding! (I don't think much of the Clinton's) :)

27. Well, let's see...
A two bit B movie actor that had a chimp for a sidekick... and he made films too! I like TRUE BLUE Democrats. You know! Like Jimmy Carter. A quiet, gentle man that attempted to grow the fuck up this country, but the country was too spoiled and liked shiny stuff, drooling in wonder at Ronnie's "shiny shack on a mound" crap. Are you starting to visualize? His Slicketh Williness was just a sick faded pink color in between two bright red ones. I'm left of Hugo.

31. just a reminder
no apostrophe is to be used when you're saying "Clintons" and talking about the family (plural words). If you're talking about Bill Clinton's opinions, then you'd use the apostrophe. Just saw it twice and thought I'd help - I appreciated it when people helped me type more accurately.

21. You can call anybody a "Democrat".....doesn't make them one.
We have to remember...the Democratic Party of 50 years ago are the repug/fascist party of today. The Southeast WAS heavily "democratic" back in the days of segregation and all the other ass-back wards society values.

Today...the Democratic Party stand FOR the people....for ALL the people. The repug/fascist party stands for the ignorant, the "selfish-wealthy", the religious nut cakes and the bigots and white supremacists. I probably left a few smaller groups out...but you get the picture.

These morons DON'T represent what I want to see America as being. Living in the dark ages, total faith in their simple minded religion.....scary folks. I couldn't be comfortable living anywhere near them.

A worthless clip wolf...you msm goon.

26. So, they looked far and wide to find a county full of racist McCain voters.
And they call that reporting?

It's a free campaign contribution for Republicans. That's what it is.

28. They don't sound like democrats to me.....
Edited on Tue Feb-17-09 01:06 PM by RedstDem
I call bullshit.
I bet not a single one of those "Democrats" has voted that way in a long time.
probably the same result in '04 and '00.

The one lady cites McCain and Palin as more moral, but, looking at their past's, Obama and Biden were the most moral.
I just don't get the repub's........can they read?

35. Speaking of bullshit, at 3:35
the camera cuts to a mooing / grunting cow with his rear end slightly hunched over. I seriously think that cow was at least passing gas.

30. They think Obama is a Muslim...the other half are racists. You can tell by what they're saying.
"Get closer to the lord" and "hear the lords prayer"...WTF?! Uh huh.

32. God is in control?
That reminds me of an republican woman who reads my blog and comments. She wrote that earlier that day she was outside in the cold weather and that she's so tired of the cold. She went one to say "But gods in control and I trust him". At the end of her comment she added that as she was coming back inside the house, a large chunk of ice slid off the roof, hit her on the head!
:rofl:

Palin trustworthy? I heard today that her children found her ultrasound picture of Trig and asked her what it was about. She made up a story (lie) about the ultrasound pic because she didn't tell them she was pregnant till 6 weeks before Trig was born. If this is true then she's worse than I ever suspected.

Maybe it's S.F. or some place in Hawaii (I know Hawaii may not have counties).

By comparison, the most conservative DU member is a raving liberal compared to these folks.

Trust me in saying that; I grew up with these people.
