    Don't blame me! It was those rednecks from southern Ohio who came down out of the hills to vote for the retarded cowboy from Texas. Most of us folks with a higher than fourth grade education in the north voted for Kerry.


    Right. That's why Cincinnati swung this election (and thus dusted anything Cleveland had to say) and the average income down here is higher.

    We're just a bunch of dumbasses. With MBA's and JD's. Who are outsourcing you idiot northern pro-labor union types. And making assloads of money.

    Moron.

    We don't need more laws, unless those laws mandate X amount of money and resources for enforcement of existing laws.

    When will people wake up?
