The 'solid south' may be the end of this country

[Zuni]

If it wasn't for the reactionary ex-confederacy, this country would be far more progressive.
It is the reactionary fools that win elections in those states that hurt us the most

1. Lincoln should HAVE FINISHED THEM OFF in 1864!

:argh:

[Cascadian]

5. Lincoln should have just let them go!

I sometimes think that maybe the South would have been better off left alone. They should have stayed their own country and then we would not be in the mess we find ourselves in now.

2. I getting sick of it.

If they want a toilet of a country,fine. But I sick of them turning my country into a toilet of rightwing shit.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. I'm sick of my tax $$ going to their fucking faith-based BS

I feel bad for good Southerners, but I will not spend another dime outside a blue state if Bush wins.

[RandomKoolzip]

3. We shoulda let them secede.

I'm so glad I escaped from the south......New Civil War on the horizon?

[cynatnite]

4. Well, I guess us in TN who are dems and loathe bush should

just give in like SOME here already have!

[Maddy McCall]

6. From the 45% of my home state of Mississippi who are Democrats...

Fuck all of you. You do nothing but alienate people in the South from the party with your pseudoelitism.

[cynatnite]

7. What about MT, ID, Dakotas, and the rest of the plains???????

Come on guys, be real here!

If we lose you can't throw the entire blame on the south!!! What a load of fucking shit!

[Wols]

8. I live in the south and you're right

It's fucking destroying this country.

10. As a Texan, I can tell you

that the folks down south are still suffering from slavery withdrawal all these years later, bless their little ole hearts. I see no remedy. None. They're proud to be ignorant. They teach their children to be the same way. My family of Dems are considered black sheep within the larger family. How did we get out? My dad was the first in his family to receive a college education... nuff said.

I miss my family down in Texas, and I miss good barbecue, but I'm damned happy to be living in a blue state these days.

11. If they secede again

Let's fucking whoop their asses again and not let them be states. Don't want those crazyasses deciding our leaders.
