I live in Northern Minnesota........
Here, it has been die-hard Farming/Democrat since I can remember. Although they are socially conservative, they vote Democrat like Pavlov’s Dogs.
In fact they call the Democrat party here, the “D.F.L.” (Democrat, Farm, Labor.) They are so damned ignorant that there is no hope to give them our side. One of them said that Bush had created the worst war in the history of the World where more Americans and people have died than ever in the history of the World.
When I mention World War 2 or 1, to counter their claim, all I get are blank stares.
Oh, and they watch CNN, ABC, C-BS, and NBC for news, and the “RED Star Tribune on Sundays. It’s truly sickening.
You have my deepest sympathy. Where we live it’s farming country too, lots of Democrats. Most farmers here work in the car plants so are also autoworker union members.
Did you read this article on the American Thinker? I’m so livid since reading it. It’s assigned reading for today’s homeschool political science/social studies: http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/barack_obama_and_the_strategy.html
