7. But isn't it true that those areas with the worst poverty...
don't vote? The deep deep rural pockets of abject 3rd world poverty I see in Mississippi and Alabama are shocking. I'm pretty sure they don't turn out to vote because they're too busy trying to survive another day. They don't see how either party would do anything for them.

The rich landowners are the ones that rally the troops to vote repuke at their city churches. I blame the Christian Coalition for a lot of this...they seem to enjoy lying to the poor citizens, knowing how the repuke policies keep them down.
