Reply #52: I think you missed my point

If you accept the proposition that the geographical areas that voted for Bush are to be left to "eat and pay their rent with their f-ing christian values," then you have to accept it for the country as a whole - which is nothing more than a bigger geographical area that voted for Bush. That includes all of us - including the presumably blue state poster.

Or, if you want to look at it a different way - I live in a blue county, so I have just as much right to blame the neighboring red counties for how the Ohio as a whole voted as you blue staters have to blame the red states for how the country voted as a whole.

I know not all blue staters are looking down their noses at those of use who live in red states - but the blanket condescension directed at red state residents around here is getting to a bit much to take.

Individuals voted for Bush - not counties, states, or the country.
