Reply #19: I know of at least 15 people voting KERRY [View All]

in my pathetic republican county of Doniphan with an average unemployment rate in the double digits. There seems to be an undertow of Kerry supporters in the towns of Troy, Wathena, Hiawatha, Highland, Elwood and White Cloud. You may not see their support, but I assure you there is a movement. The local government is repukes and most sensible voters know that the country is in the shitter under this administration. I have tons of Kerry signs pins and info I have been passing around. In fact I put up K/E sign in my front yard and some redneck came along and stomped on it. There are only a handful of us showing support. People here don't want the locals to know who they support. Most feel uncomfortable expressing their political views. Some have small business and don't want to be face with a political fallout. They are nuts here, not to mention uneducated in current events. My brother went to a Halloween party last night whose host had a huge Kerry sign posted in front of his house with lights. He was turning the people from the dark side. He is so motivated to turn these rednecks in the right direction. He told me that his job in nearby St. Joseph, Mo. laid off 30 workers. After they were given the pink slip, my brother yelled as they were leaving, "If you want your jobs back vote for Kerry!" I just love that about him. He got guts and we are pissed! Where I live, there is always some kind of repercussions attached to a persons political point of view. They see you as a threat to their pathetic way of life and make you feel that you don't belong. I see it all the time. My girls are scapegoats for this crap when playing sports here. They sit on the bench because their parents are LIBERAL! I hate it when they take it out on the kids! They are being brainwash in the schools here. I am so sick of it! I un-brainwash them everyday so they can think for themselves and make valid arguements to dispel the rightwingnuts.

I am going to turn people, it may not be this election, but I am working on it!
