Those who voted for John Kerry - in some cases, against George Bush - have reacted to the election with a smug superiority seldom seen. Herewith some quotes from Kerry supporters (or Bush opponents):
-I'm saddened by what I feel is the obtuseness and shortsightedness of a good part of the country - the heartland. This kind of redneck, shoot-from-the-hip mentality and a very concrete interpretation of religion is prevalent in Bush country - in the heartland. New Yorkers are more sophisticated and at a level of consciousness where we realize we have to think of globalization, of one mankind, that what's going to injure masses of people is not good for us. - New Yorker Joseph Zito

I immediately recognized the quotes. They're from the town I was born in and where I still happen to live. I can't wait to leave it. I was going to post the article. It was posted three times, at least one time poorly edited. It totaled about 9300 hits here on FR. These folks here in the Big Apple have attracted some of the worst idiots, freaks and schemers from all over the world. There are still some decent folks here with common sense, but the overwhelming majority are clueless. Here's the story from where the quotes originated.
