Any questions?
LOL Your preaching to the choir.

Your post reminds me of the PSA "This is your brain on drugs".

What is your point, most of the impoverished south smokes and are conservative. It is conservatives who believe smokers should have the right to pollute the air non-smokers breath.

They probably had people asking for the book after seeing the movie...so they started carrying again.

No surprise. BAU.

So why do they overwhelmingly vote Democrat?

Due to non-smokers and not low-income, thank you very much.

I saw the movie. It showed actual clips of Saul Alinsky. The guy is spooky, how he looks and talks. The guy exudes evil. It wasn't a attack Obama movie. It was about the world without America. It did show how Hillary Clinton was affiliated with Alinsky. It showed Bill Ayers. There are so many parts to the movie it's hard to describe.

Well as they say "He who has the money gets to make the rules".

Politics has become very personal and to see people in power use it on the masses is pretty low.
People in power are using their position to push their personal political/religious beliefs through their businesses these days.

Just points to how divided we are becoming here in America.
It's a sad thing to witness

States don't smoke, people do. People with low incomes are the most likely to smoke and they overwhelmingly vote for Democrats.

and then follow up with your opinion not based on any data.

The end result of this whole foolishness will likely be that Costco doesn't carry political books like this any longer.
Do you even shop at Costco?
