Just wanted to vent
I moved from Cleveland OH to very conservative Decatur AL about 2.5 years ago. It's not that bad down here really. Anyways, I live in a nice quiet older neighborbhood where you almost next to never see or hear anybody, no traffic, no drama. Well, everythings going along great today because I actually see a car with a Obama/Biden sticker. One of the first I've seen. I remember seeing an Obama sticker during the primaries, but that was up near Huntsville, a more liberal city. Well I'm leaving my house to get something to eat tonight, I'm tiptoeing to my car cuz its so quiet you can hear a pen drop...and then, lo and behold I saw it! A McCain/Palin sign right across the street! I wanted to go take a big dump on my neighbor's lawn. Now, Im not an idiot. I know that most people are Repubs down here, but I just thought it was such damn stupid timing on their part. Obama's steadily moving up in the polls, the economy is taking a nose dive, and then their figurehead McCain is trying to get out of the debate. It almost seen like my neighbors were screaming, "I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! AIN'T NO WAY I'M GOING FOR THAT OBAMA. HE AIN'T ONE OF US! I'D RATHER BE PICKED CLEAN BY BUSH, AND THEN LET MCCAIN AND HIS CRAZY ASS SUCK ON THE MARROW IN MY BONES THAN CALL THAT DIRTY HALF BREED SOB LIBERAL ELITIST MY PRESIDENT"
At least that's what I heard...
Now Im going to have to see that crap everyday!
Thanks for listening, now I'm going to go get a glass of wine.

1. I live in rural Maryland.
I have seen some big McCain/Palin signs in Madonna Four Corners and outside of Jackonsville. What can you do or say to people? I don't know them. It's seems like you can't argue with them even if you did know them. Yes, it's a very white and conservative area, too.

4. Greetings from Cleveland, OH...
I've always been intrigued by the South (never seen much of it outside of resort areas or airport terminals), and have wanted to travel the backroads and soak it all in.. but not enough to actually live there. Enjoy your glass of wine, it'll make things easier.
