The incredibly sad state of America

The Rude Pundit has an excellent post contrasting the life of some of America's poorest with that of the Romney's:

But the idea that really makes me sad and ill is that that Kentucky county's voters will almost certainly vote for Romney because "he's more like them". And I have no hope that they will ever wake up from their delusion.
