West Virginia you are now off the hook (for last week's video)


:wow:

the last 46 seconds are just :wow:

[skooooo]

1. Can you explain??

My sound card is on the fritz so I can't hear what anyone says.

(By the way, I've spent time in this county. Nothing will surprise me.)

[notadmblnd]

3. it's bible, a womans place is in the home

was the womans quote when asked about Hillary. As to Obama, she said, "I'm kin'a lury bout em."

[LSparkle]

4. The woman says, "It's in the BIBLE -- a woman's place is in the home"

I'm starting to believe the rumors that KY won't be quite such a
blowout for her.

[underpants]

5. Poorest county in Ky one of the poorest in the country

One woman just isn't sure about Obama but another woman is sure about Hillary "It's BIBLE (slams hand on lunch counter) the woman's place is in the home!!"

Actually this report does show the apathy and well deserved apathy the poor have for the whole process but I had to attract attention thus the subject line

[skooooo]

8. big meth lab bust there not too long ago too...

I mean a BIG one if I remember correctly....

[underpants]

12. Median income $9,700 a YEAR

:wow:

[DS1]

2. Then what the hell is she doing there?

Oh. Right. She wuz raised in a burger joint.



After watching this video, I've decided that I believe the primaries should be held in order of which states pay the highest into the Federal system, to the lowest.

[underpants]

7. Cali, CONN, NY, Ill then .....uh

not sure but I know that NC is the first of the "red states" that pays more in taxes than it gets back.. maybe Texas too

[SunDrop23]

26. She's there because...

she's a Bible thumping hypocrite.

She'd probably say she was happy Sen. Kennedy has cancer cause of "whut he diyud to dat gurl..." or something rich like that.

A woman's place is in the home...unless she's in this har burger joint.

Love thy neighbor...unless'n that neighbor is black or gay.

[Quantess]

30. I guess her home is the burger joint.

:silly:

[dbonds]

6. This is the definition of 'bitter'

[underpants]

10. By GOD I think you are right

(retires to the study for brandy and a smoke)

[calmblueocean]

23. this really deserves a front page post

I mean, could you have a better illustration of Obama's comment? These folks are so soured on the political process, they don't even want to vote. They think that it doesn't make any difference to their daily lives who gets in the office, and make their choices, if they even decide to choose, based on things besides political promises.

Obama has said before that he had a poor choice of words with that comment, but can you watch a clip like this and NOT acknowledge the truth at its core?

[boobooday]

9. "A woman's place is in the home"

IT'S IN THE BIBLE!

Says the woman standing BEHIND the counter in the diner.

:shrug: :shrug:

But the guy who says "nothing will change for us here unless a poor man runs for president," broke my heart.

[underpants]

11. Actually he was dead on wasn't he

:wow:

[boobooday]

15. Gave me a chill

I'd like to see that replayed about a million times on television.

[skooooo]

13. it's a really narrow minded place

The people are good, like most people are, but it's so conservative.

[boobooday]

17. If a Democratic president reached out to these poor people (again)

We could win their hearts for ever. They have been completely abandoned.

[CottonBear]

16. That really hit me hard and made me wish that Edwards was still in the race. n/t

[orleans]

31. i thought she was working there, but i guess she wasn't

because he asked her: "do you come here for lunch a lot?"

[CottonBear]

14. I'm not surprised at all. I live in Georgia and I'm a native Southerner.

It's awful that these folks don't vote and, if they do, they vote Republican. John Edwards speaks for these very poor people. Too bad they didn't have a chance to vote for him.

[unpossibles]

18. yeah, I wonder if the real reason they won't vote is because

they've been told over and over that McCain is a liberal, and... well, I'll stop there.

I grew up in rural Kentucky, so I suppose there's hope but I also know how the majority of folks in small towns like that think.

[xxqqqzme]

34. In the hills of West Virginia, people don't vote or even

register because they'll 'git called fur jury duty'. Can't even tell you how many times I heard that excuse. Even when told that jury selection comes from driver's license lists, they still won't register to vote. Some myths are just too powerful to let go.

[bluestateguy]

19. Those are your bitter people clinging to their religion and guns

It's hard for some people to acknowledge that Obama was right. They are not bad people, but the truth hurts.

[w13rd0]

20. amen

n/t

[AlinPA]

21. Reminds me of "What's the Matter with Kansas"-people voting R against their interests.

[bluestateguy]

22. Someone should make a movie out of that book

Either a documentary or a dramatized true story.

[underpants]

24. Well I was going to cal this "What's the Matter with Clay County?"

but I didn't

[SunDrop23]

25. I really think the number of people who will not vote for Obama...

because he is an African-American is alot BIGGER than any of the pundits suspect. And not just in places like Clay County. I mean right here in Raleigh NC there are plenty of people who were taught that "non-white equals bad" and have never shed that racist mentality. And don't even get me started on the western part of the state.

[Indenturedebtor]

27. Hah

I think i've driven through there a couple of times.

I would be utterly shocked if KY could ever go Dem. "It's bible" pretty well sums it up :eyes:

Lury bout him ... HAH. I don't feel sorry for these people. If they want to vote against their own interests because of their bigotry, then to hell with them.

[raystorm7]

28. I really feel sad for these poor souls regardless of how ignorant and stupid they may think.

[provis99]

29. unfortunately, they ARE bitter and abandoned...

and for those picking on Kentucky and West Virginia, I say, take a trip through Mississippi. Kentucky and West Virginians may be ignorant because of poverty, but they aren't stupid, and I haven't found that many who were racist; definitely friendly, talkative folks up there.

80% of white Mississippians on the other hand, are mostly bigoted and scary, not ignorant, but definitely stupid. The other Mississippians on DU know what I mean, and share my lament, probably.

[goletian]

32. obama shoulda gone to those people to take em in. show em hes black with a heart of white.

[Redstone]

33. But Junior got hisself 'nough money for a ATV, don't he? It's right there in

the driveway. Hey Junior, don't be cryin' poor to me, when you can afford to spend your days off burnin up $4-a-gallon gasoline just to tear up the woods, OK?

Redstone

[LSK]

35. what was that remark about people turning to guns and religion??

Still think its not true?
