1. These are strange days, indeed

[Muttocracy]

2. wonder which state they live in (other than a bit of denial)- maybe they're voting economic interest

[sunder]

29. ZYDEKO! I saw that yesterday and

absolutely loved it:bounce:

[polichick]

4. AND a scarecrow!

[Uncle Joe]

6. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Truth Hurts A Lot.

[Kceres]

8. Kind of schizophrenic.

Just saying. . .

[On the Road]

9. It's Those Potential Democrats

with gun racks in the back of their pickups with confederate flags decals. Dean couldn't bring 'em in, but Obama is. Who would have thunk?

[Uncle Joe]

12. I look at it as a team effort, Dean and Obama and

of course Bush's corrupt, incompetence played a part as well.

Ultimately, I believe this is the Republican's worst nightmare and a harbinger that Reagen's poison is wearing off.

[coalition_unwilling]

36. Nixon's poison. See his so-called

"Southern strategy" of 1968. Reagan merely reaped the fruits of what Nixon had sown.

[Uncle Joe]

41. Yes but after Nixon's ignominious resignation and the non-Ford Presidency,

the Republicans were at a crossroads with the economy on their side, they were in a position of strength in 1979 and could have taken the high road.

In some respects ie: the environment, Nixon was more progressive than Reagen, after Jimmy Carter had poised the U.S. to wean it self from fossil fuels, Reagan took us backward even removing the solar panels from the White House as a symbol of his Neanderthalism.

Reagen not only exploded the deficit, he exploded the prison population primarily by disenfranchising minority voters, all the while telling the people, it was morning in America.

It wasn't Nixon's legacy that Republicans boasted about two decades later, it was Reagen's because Reagan put a smiley face on Nixon's race based policies.

17. lmao. The irony of it all! nt

[TennesseeDem]

10. www.rednecks4obama.com

Real website check it out. "We hunt, fish, drink beer, and support Barack Obama."

[tigereye]

11. that's pretty interesting - maybe it's part of a "bridge" being built and some

reconciliation...

[Hieronymus]

13. Not everyone who displays a confederate flag is a bigot.

[Mojorabbit]

14. Does not surprise me in the least

I know too many people who had ancestors who fought in that war and they are proud of that history and it is not a racial thing to them. A weird dichotomy but there it is.

[Shakespeare]

15. He's a despicable turd, but I thank him for his vote.

[14thColony]

22. You know him?

[Shakespeare]

24. I know all I need to know about him.

Anybody who flies that damned confederate flag is a despicable turd.

Oh, and I'm from the south, too. Anybody still emotionally attached to that dreadful symbol needs to grow up, and wise up.

[ecstatic]

25. Thank you. I feel the same way... Plus, it's Indiana ffs! nt

[14thColony]

32. Alrighty then.

[Ian David]

38. Am I a dispicable turd for wearing THIS on a hat during a visit to South Carolina?

http://www.cafepress.com/southdiversity

And nobody commented on it, really. Hardly looked at it, I think. Sure made my dad uncomfortable though.


Although admittedly I didn't have the balls to wear THIS:

40. Absolutely not.

That's an entirely different (obviously so) take on the stars & bars. I like it!

[rucky]

16. We have Howard Dean to thank?

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

18. That picture is the definitive

:wtf: :spray: :rofl: moment of this entire weird campaign season.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

19. I have friends in Indiana

and it wouldn't surprise me if this was their house.

But it's not.

But it could be.

:rofl:

[Tatiana]

20. I congratulate this household for voting their economic interests. n/t

[Unbowed]

21. Too funny.

What's next? I'm almost afraid to ask. But hey, a vote is a vote.

[PretzelWarrior]

23. that's odd

[Laelth]

26. Racism is a luxury we can no longer afford, and Senator Obama wants the racists' votes too.

There's a lot of this going on.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

:dem:

-Laelth

[CatWoman]

28. no Laelth

racism is a luxury the racists can no longer afford.

[Laelth]

30. I hear ya, but I think we all suffer from the effects of racism.

In that sense, "we" can't afford it. No doubt the racists who vote for Obama are doing so because they, personally, can't afford it either.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

:dem:

27. I know this makes Dean happy

too! :bounce:

[Doityourself]

31. Ain't America Grand...

[fujiyama]

33. If Obama wins

That picture will be definitive of the election - and the Bush era in general.

[tekisui]

34. They must be voting for the white half of Obama!

[Bonn1997]

35. Big LOL!

[leftynyc]

37. We've fallen down the rabbit hole

The only explanation I can come up with is different people in that house have different political leanings.

[riqster]

39. Just because someone is insensitive

...doesn't make them dumb in all respects.
