Wanna see how backward my home state is now?

1. Yeah, we're pretty backasswards.

:hi:

Nixon for Governor 2008 (Geesh, that sounds weird).

2. I had one of his pins in high school

when he ran for attorney general.

My mom threw it away. I used to think it was because of his last name but now I wonder if it is because he's a Dem.

3. I always email this stuff to a friend of mine from MO

It truly embarrasses her. I'm originally from NJ, so I have less to be freaked out about politically...

[xmas74]

4. It should embarrass everyone from MO.

Unfortunately, I've heard quite a bit of praise for this crap in my town.

7. Her Dad is a Repub, but also a high school Biology teacher

He's been freaking about about all the Intelligent Design stuff. She was like, YOUR fault, Dad! You vote for these idiots!

[xmas74]

9. He should feel responsible.

He helped vote them in.

[LostinVA]

10. She said he is starting to rethink his politics -- yay!!!

[xmas74]

13. Good.

We need more people to vote for common sense in Missouri!

[SmileyBoy]

5. Oh yeah???

In North Dakota, it is illegal for a man and a woman who are not married to live together.

Checkmate.

[xmas74]

6. In MO they plan to take all alimony away from that situation.

Besides, I know I have the checkmate.

They want to declare Christianity as the official state religion and bring the Bible into schools. They want to readmit prayer into schools and intelligent design instead of evolution.

Checkmate.

8. It is in NC, too... maybe VA, am not sure

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Well, there's only one thing left to do

Missouri, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

[xmas74]

12. Hey-I do live here.

My friends are all raising liberal children. Besides, do you really want to nuke the land of Twain and Truman?

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. I'm sorry; I should've noted

We'll nuke only the asshat sections. :hi:

[xmas74]

16. Not enough-

I live in the asshat section. My county went 69% red last election, even w/ a number of us out there doing our part.

Actually, the top three strike zones for a nuke attack in the US are DC, Omaha, and a place about 8 miles from me-Whiteman AFB. If nukes really did go up I'd be dead in minutes.

And yes, the tv movie The Day After did scare the crap out of me. They talked about all the towns around me being gone.

15. that's sensationalist crap

It won't pass.

Believe it or not, there are Missourians that don't think like that. There are some that pay lip service to some creepy reactionary ideas as well, but rest assured they're in the minority.

Thanks for painting the whole state in a bad light.

17. I live here.

I know what it's like.

You are lucky to live in St Louis. I live in a very red county. Johnson County went over 2/3 republican in the last election. The people whom I work with are talking about this like it's the most wonderful thing in the world.
