Small town Minnesota: Ignorance is bliss (Limbaugh, votes, democrat, Republican)

[Repubocrat]

I live in the Minneapolis-St Paul and last week, I was going through a small town in Southern Minnesota (only 1 hour from Minneapolis) and heard some older people talking at the gas station, they were basically saying that if Obama was elected, he would turn the USA into a Communist country. They all agreed and said that, they should vote for Mc Cain to make sure that the USA does not become a Communist country. I was shocked to hear so much ignorance in one place but apparently, there are people out there who can actually be this ignorant! Scary!

Its true, the South does not have a monopoly on stupidity.

That's what happens when all they can listen to on talk radio is crap like Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Ingrahm, etc.
Also, Southern Minnesota being about 98% white, except for Rochester and Mankato, plays into that mentality a little.

You should have casually asked them their opinion on Obama's double-digit leads in Minnesota.

When you're in your own comfort zone, you learn a lot. They are also probably Republican. No Democrat would say such a thing.

Actually, they may be more closer to the truth than some would like to realize... not communist, but definitely not a path I cater to see.

A country with a dick-tator has one leader.

America gets to choose from two leaders. America isn't much better than a communist country, is it?

Both parties have ripped you off over and over again yet Americans elect them over and over again.

Comedy Gold.

They are speaking the truth. Facts prove it!

He want control of your life and you.

He has already filed lawsuits to prove it.

He is trying to shut down radio and newspapers from printing anything about him and that is communistic.

HELL NO TO COMMI-BAMA!!

I think people who cannot bring themselves to vote for a black man are telling themselves all sorts of things to justify not voting for him...
there is very little support for mcCain, his votes are not mcCain votes, they're anti-obama votes
