292. as someone who lives in a Red State w/an extremely strong
extremely conservative fundy base (AOG headquarters), you are exactly correct about how this plays out in the real world.

Many moderates in this state will not vote democrat because they feel that the dems look down their nose at them, and have no interest in their lives. They will vote repub even if they don't really agree w/the repubs because they at least act like they don't hold them in contempt.

If you feel that a party has nothing but contempt for you and yours you are not going to be very receptive to anything they say. And you are going to find it very easy to be swayed by others telling you that they are lying, etc.

This is what happened this last election (and in 2000)..so libs need to do a bit of a reality check and realize that claiming the intellectual high ground don't do a lot of good if they let the conserves cut off the supply line..

btw those who have said that using the word parasite is okay cause of dictionary definition...should we start using these terms? After all if all that matters is dictionary terms, not common usage...

Bastard: an illegitimate child

slut: a promiscuous woman (not restricted to one sexual partner)

whore: a promiscuous or immoral woman
