Oh, and "I'm voting for that one"????? Can I second anyone who thought that sounded ridiculous and borderline offensive?? Idiots.

I agree. I'm not saying that I agree with all of George W's decisions (by a long shot) but it is really stupid and naive, in my opinion, to assume that he is the only problem. Getting rid of Bush is not a magic wand that suddenly fixes everything, no matter WHO is elected. Whoever inherits this presidency will have a lot of problems to fix, and they've been created by many people and many situations (sadly).

My grandmother still lives near there... and yes, she is still afraid of black people, and afraid of liberals... but that is ALL she has ever seen or known. Hating these people won't help. Trying our best to educate them (I know it's a daunting task) will help. You can't change everyone's opinion, but you can try. These people aren't just "dumb rednecks," they just don't know any different! It's very sad! And we need to work to change it, not just laugh at it or hate them.

Okay, for starters, I am NOT defending these people. However--this is St. Clairsville, in South-Eastern Ohio, an area made up of a high level of uneducated, lower middle class workers. It's even considered a part of Appalachia. Now, I am NOT saying everyone from that region is stupid or racist--my own family comes from very close by! But they have been raised to have one, very sheltered point of view. They need to be educated, but they're scared of change. Just realize that this is not representative of all of Ohio. And pity them, don't hate them.
