Are you going to listen to the village idiot over the town scholar? That's what got us in our current predicament.
Amen!

Incorrect. A highly sophisticated, tightly orchestrated neoconservative game plan is what got us in our current predicament and it bears remembering that Those Guys are operating pretty much as usual. Do note the appointments of, say, Karl Rove and Donald Rumsfeld since leaving the Administration.

If Obama Maniacs will dichotomize Democratic supporters as dumb & uneducated versus smart & educated, two questions.

1. Does America have more dumb, uneducated people or more smart, educated people?

2. Are they calling dumb the women who support Hillary Clinton because they are determined to see a First Female American President in "a man's world" the inordinate fucked-up-ness of which has an unmistakable testosterone base?

Go back to your exclusive elitist biker bar and eat the caviar you love so notoriously, biker!

Actually we were a group of Anthroplogy/Sociology pinhead professors, raising statistical hell where ever we roam. We called ourselves "Hells Standard Deviations" ...bunch of egghead elitists that didn't love our country enough to stay uneducated.

There are few things as amusing (and futile), as morons trying to defend their own stupidity.

Occupying a swathe of the Appalachian Mountains on the threshold between the Bible Belt and the Rust Belt, West Virginia is a swing state that voted twice for George W. Bush but backed Democrats in six of the eight prior presidential elections.

No Democrat has been elected to the White House without carrying West Virginia since 1916, yet Mr Obama appears to have little chance of winning there in November. Recent opinion polls indicate that Mrs Clinton would narrowly beat Mr McCain in the state but Mr Obama would lose by nearly 20 percentage points.
Isn't it charming the way so many journalists are working so hard to make their little neck of the woods significant to something!

They had to stretch back this time to a point in time when:

a) There were only 48 states---(so much for the everyone counts theory
b) The Democrats were combined with the Dixiecrats (similar to the Repukes invoking Lincoln with that wide eyed idiot plea of "why aren't the blacks part of the party of Lincoln)
c) MOST African Americans in the United States were not permitted to vote at all.

Yet DESPITE the dramatic ideologic changes and demographic changes that have occured in the parties these authors feel they have an audience for their drivel!

So what if the "Democrats" have not won without W. Va? The PERTINENT question would be has ANYONE won the presidency without W. Va?

They take you back to Wilson in 1916 hoping that you will be ignorant of the fact that Eisenhower (R) won the presidency without W. Va in 1952.

Or that Reagan won the presidency without it in 1980 or that Bush Sr won without it in 1988.

And ------ there is eternally an audience for such absurd arguments as these---they are called Hillary Supporters!

Look. I'm sorry it happened.
If it was the 70's, and you were bikers, it may have been more anger towards "then damn type hippie freaks".

Shit happens. I got stabbed and left for dead in a black neighborhood in Baltimore.
Do I say all blacks are murderous cuthroats?
Yet you seem willing to damn all of Appalacia.

Not all of appalachia, just the ones deserving of the title 'idiot'.
