Reply #13: look North - there's a red pocket up there [View All]

[Teena]

My inlaws live in Upper Penninsula Michigan where there seems to be a pocket of "northwoods hillbillies" who love Bush. They believed all the bull about Kerry taking away their guns if elected, they firmly believe that our oil lies under Iraq's sand, and they admire Bush's lying, "terra-izin" ways. In spite of a back-slipping economy, small business owners who are getting burned big time by Bush laws, and most of the rest of the state going for Kerry, they are proud to watch Fox News and become more and more racist by the day. My mom and husband are from there, but - thank God - they still have their liberal/progressive/caring human being brains and morals intact.
