Recently was back home in Ohio visiting with my family. My two brothers who were rabid Limbaugh brainwashed Repubs are both disgusted with * and are going to vote for whoever the Dem nominee is. Since they are both in OH, I thought this was extremely interesting and important to the chance of a Dem winning Ohio. I haven't lived in the state for a long time, but it seemed to have gone increasingly conservative. A lot of folks there are disgusted and angry. Here are some quotes from my bro's that nearly knocked me to the floor.
- "I feel that, after 9-11, America was like a drunken college girl at spring break who finally sobered up and was shocked by who she slept with".
- "I don't listen to Rush anymore, it's all the same stuff and he's a frickin' drug addict"
- " * is taking this country to hell in a hand-basket"
- "I was screwed. I didn't know until I filled out my taxes that I had to count that child credit I got as income"
- "The only reason their talking about gay marriage is to appeal to the religious nuts"
- "They are going to try to paint Kerry as a wimpy liberal, but I don't think that will fly this time."
- "Can you f#$king believe that they want to count fast-food workers as manufacturers?"
This was just a few things that came up during our discussion. I was so happy to see my flesh and blood finally open their eyes and come back from the darkside. If Columbus, OH is a bell-weather, we could actually win OH and screw the deep-south.
