Why is my state (PA) full of wingnuts

[tigereye]

Oh why, oh why?

1. I know, how would you like to live in the middle

of this place?


:puke:

[tigereye]

6. i know I live in Pittsburgh

which is pretty Democratic, except for some of the suburbs. What happens to people when they move to the suburbs, anyway? I live in a city suburb but I'm still a feminist liberal Democrat! I guess I shouldn't complain, I could be living in the "alabama part" of Pa. ;)

2. I had to watch...

A good friend of mine move to Slippery Rock and turn into a wingnut. It must be the water. I don't know.

8. No offense intended, but why on earth would anyone move TO

Slippery Rock? Color me curious!

3. I think the same thing about Colorado.

Why oh why?

4. PA isn't so bad

At least you don't have an Austrian former action-star as a governor.

7. but we have Rick Santorum

who makes me embarassed to have been raised a Catholic! I know it could be worse.

[orwell]

5. It's the Water

I'm guessin' oil wells and steel mills?

[tigereye]

9. nah the mills produced generations of Democrats!

not too many oil wells around here ( I am in Pgh) now. Up in OIl City, yes and a few north of Pittsburgh. Don't know about the rest of the state.

10. Every state is the same , Cities are liberal. Rural is freeper.

Did you notice that if you get more than fifty miles from Pittsburgh or Philly everyone has a Southern accent?

[tigereye]

11. yes a little bit

esp. as you go south. There is an interesting rural accent. Wonder what the origin of that is? And suburb seems to be freeper too. What is that about?

[Twillig]

12. is it a southern accent, or a redneck accent?

Because the redneck accent is everywhere. David Cross does a funny bit about this in his SHUT UP, YOU F#$%ING BABY! album/CD.

There's nothing wrong with a southern accent. Not even a Texas accent(edit, 'cause i've known several and liked 'em). But when you hear the redneck accent, look out.
