#1 What are they putting in the water down in Alabama? Whatever it is, it seems to grow backbones. Ship it to other states!

#2 No, a few of my jackass liberal Alabamans on facebook are total liberals and I get to read their huffpo postings (yay, not.) The U.S. is divided, and the divisions aren't North-South, that would be way too easy wouldn't it?

#3 That ad certainly is to the point.
He's basically saying he's everything Bambi is not.
I hope he does well.

#4 The U.S. is divided, and the divisions aren't North-South

Yeah, I think the divide is much more finely grained than North vs South. The People's Republic of Michigan, for example, is regarded as a blue state but if you look at election results by county you see the rural areas are red and the (unionized) urban centers like Detroit and Flint are blue.

#6 N.Y: liberal. Didn't used to be this way. Alot of the Greatest Gen were Republican, and Manhattan was a beautiful large town with a state of nice green pasture and nice farmers. Nowadays if you're a Repub here, you might as well have Herpes and if you're a farmer you better be vegan. And our economy sucks and our libs still don't get it. California and New York; evil twins separated at birth.

#8 you see the rural areas are red and the (unionized) urban centers like Detroit and Flint are blue.

Flint and Detroit are like cities in some 3rd world country. They have been sucked dry. California and New York have been sucked dry. New Jersey has been sucked dry. New Jersey is trying to get better. Seems like a Red vs. Blue thingee.

Les Phillips sounds like he would be O.K.

#11 Whats strange is that why the other politicians don't speak this straight? Reason: They are weak.

#12 Good idea, hellfish - guess I just found a candidate for my small "support decent politicians" fund. ;-p
