Reply #10: I've said it over and over again. How about starting by not lumping

everyone who lives in a red state, or in this particular case - Kansas, into the same red category?

I get so upset at the assumption that everyone who lives here is a Republican. My Kansas neighborhood was filled with Kerry yard signs during the election and I continue to see thousands of bumper stickers sporting Kerry Edwards and Impeach Bush/Cheney messages. Guess what? There are plenty of liberals and sane, moderate, blue voters out here as well. If you don't recognize that we are here and start giving us the support we need, we are never going to get anywhere.

The DNC needs to stop ignoring this state and others like it NOW. When I volunteered for the election, I was sent over to Missouri. Who gives a shit about Kansas? It's going to go red - that was mentality of the DNC. Nevermind that my Congressman is a Democrat. Nevermind that our Governor is a Democrat.

The DNC needs to take a good, hard look in the mirror. We didn't and haven't abandoned the Dems. But sometimes it sure as hell feels like they abandoned us a long time ago.
