Reply #11: Ohio didn't used to be like this

[yardwork]

I grew up in Ohio in the 1960s and 70s, in a very red, very conservative, very fundamentalist Christian part of the state. But what I'm seeing and hearing out of Ohio is new these past decades.

There seems to have been a highly-organized movement (I suspect KKKarl Rove) to tie politics to religion at every level in Ohio. I would guess that bushco has been planning this for many years, and 2004 was the official unveiling of this new approach - scare all the Christians into thinking that if they don't support bushco they're going to hell, and then rig the voting machines to make sure that the slight majority who vote Democratic in spite of the scare tactics get discounted.
