St. Clairsville, Ohio pop.5057 invaded by 100000 rebel flag waving

[doc03]

drunken redneck Repugs. I'm exaggerating a little they are not all
Repugs. Jamboree in the Hills is this week we will see hundreds of
pickups and campers with an American flag on one side and the Rebel flag on the other.

[Ohio Dem]

1. Yeah. They're not all Repugs.

Been there and done that too many times in my life. I country music didn't currently suck so bad, and if Clear Channel didn't own it, I'd probably go. But it does, and it does. And it's not that fun, anyway. Not at my age.

[doc03]

3. I'll catch some of it on TV, I agree most country music sucks today

I will watch Merle Haggard, Oak Ridge Boys and Reba. Here's link with line up: http://www.jamboreeinthehills.com/flash/Lineuptext.htm

8. My brother's going. I know the lineup very well.

He's been recruiting me to go again for several months. I've had a lot of fun there, but it's not for me this year.

2. i'm from ada, ohio

and 90% of the town and counties are repubbies. I know how you feel. As soon as I was able to move away, I was gone. Besides there were no jobs there, except for the new jobs (3) created by a new manufacturing industry (Kentucky Fried Chicken)
:argh:

4. Belmont county where I live is probably 75% Democrat, I think every

elected official here is a Democrat. We did elect Bob "Freedom Fries" Ney, I don't know how the hell that happened. We were redistricted and we are rid of him now. You're right about the jobs, WTO and NAFTA pretty much wiped them out. I'm still a surviver in what is left of the steel industry.

5. I am assuming

that you are from one of the larger cities in Ohio. We don't see much "libruls" in the part of the state that i am from.

Maryland is a bit more left leaning

[Ohio Dem]

9. Not many liberals, but lots of Dems here in SE Ohio.

It's rural, and it's not liberal, but it's Democratic leaning. It's a union thing.

[madinmaryland]

6. Akron or Cleveland?

[doc03]

10. No, near St.Clairsville in Belmont county. This area of the state along

the Ohio River valley is overwelmingly Dem.

[madinmaryland]

13. stuebenville?

[Ohio Dem]

15. So's Monroe County. Just to Belmont County's south.

I don't even think they bother to bring Republican primary ballots to my township. Well, they probably do, but they aren't afraid of running out. I'll put it that way.

I'd move away if it were otherwise.

[doc03]

12. No, St. Clairsville in Belmont county. This area along the Ohio River

is overwhelmingly Dem.

[Ohio Dem]

7. Ney was and is a piece of shit.

I'm so glad to had Strickland now. Freedom fries, how embarrassing. Are you from MF? I sent you a PM the other day (I think it was you) but you didn't answer (if it was you).

[Ohio Dem]

18. Our area didn't elect Ney.

That was the counties to our west. Licking, Muskingum, etc are more populated than Belmont and Monroe, and they're repukes.

11. American flag + Confederate battle flag=Conflict of interest

That's like having the Nazi flag next to the star of David flag of Israil. Am I wrong:shrug:

[Ohio Dem]

14. No, you're right.

I don't know how waiving a flag that represents wanting to leave the U.S. means you like the U.S.

Conservatives are stupid, though. You have to factor that in.

What's up, Sasquatch? :hi:

[sasquatch]

17. Not much! Slugging it out in school

:hi:I have a five year reunion to attend sometime this month:scarred:"Come'on 7's, Sasquatch needs a new career.":evilgrin:

[Ohio Dem]

19. Keep it up.

You're at OSU, right?

[sasquatch]

21. Not yet, I'm slugging it out at my local community college right now

Gotta start somewhere eh?:)

[Ohio Dem]

22. Yep.

With our education system, that's the way to go. Just don't do like my nephew and stop there.

[AlFrankenFan]

20. Ya it's a bit odd

But the one thing I understand is they don't see the difference, because both flags flew over a "nation" full of slaves at one time or another. I learn too much when I grow up with a father who claims himself a Southern Nationalist (unfortunately yes he's conservative too, but I have other relatives who claim the same thing that are Democrats).

16. I checked mapquest, so

I will stop asking where St. Clairsville is. Its about 350 miles directly west of me on I-70, all of the way. Mapquest is pretty cool. My folks are in west pa just north of pittsburgh, it can be a pretty conservative area. Are the folks in your town as upset there as they are here with * about the economy?
