Different breed of Dems here. Truman Dems. The whack-o, 60's version is not appreciated by Mountaineers.
Small population, very blue collar and rural. Not many jobs so NG and Reserves are big here. They don't like the whack-o left at all. See '00 & '04.
Yup
No way in hell any patriotic American should associate themselves with the DUmocrats. They need to learn a little about the history of the party and they will leave, just as I did.
We have the same folks here in Oklahoma....register as DUmocrats even though they never support them nationally. However, in the last few years, the unions have lost control and alot of their membership is gone.
