I'm not surprised anymore when I read these things."

    Fuck you and your anti-republican group-think. I'm a moderate liberal, but this knee-jerk republican bashing over anything and everything is getting ridiculous. Did it ever occur to you that "those red staters" might have honest and well thought-out reasons for being republican? Did it ever occur to you that two intelligent enlightened people can have an honest disagreement over politics?

    Mod me flaimbait for saying "Fuck", but at least mod the parent post flamebait for grossly generalizing and insulting a large class of people.
