I think they have the same attitude that New Yorkers have. The “we are better and smarter than the rest of you”.
I think he’s right.
As I’ve said, there are so few New Yorkers on Free Republic that we don’t often hear the better/smarter attitude from them. But there seems to be hundreds of Texans on Free Republic and because of their numbers, they feel very free to get as awful as they want. They watch each others’ back and tear down anyone with whom they disagree. And, for me, it has nothing to do with Rick Perry. He’s quite the gentleman compared to some freepers here.
By the way, we have an important election going on in NYC right now. The Republicans may win Anthony Weiner’s old seat (eewwww!)
