Have been noticing how the "blue" people have recently been thinking how the "flyover, country bumpkin" types are the ones to blame for electing W.
I think it very apt that us county, out of the mainstream, folk are very similar and parallel to the hobbits of the Shire, we don't need or want a lot of city folk telling everyone what to do, we aren't easily riled, but will stand up when it's important. We stood up.
Yeah and continued smirking about how dumb the middle american electorate is is not going to win them any support either. I'll remember next time around.
*sigh*
After some of the outraged conversations I've heard in the past week, "flyover country" is somewhat tempting. Either that or NH, which is small enough that the balance could tip pretty easily.
What bothers me isn't so much the anger at losing but the idea that they couldn't POSSIBLY have lost honestly. Last night Dad and I went to a concert and the people behind me (casual acquaintences and a co-worker) were discussing what sort of fraud of COURSE those nasty Republicans MUST have pulled to put "Shrub" in the White House again...they just couldn't believe anyone would actually follow someone like him, so it couldn't have been an honest election.
I guess I'm just being more sensitive than usual, but I was furious.
We certainly did, Sam!
