I assume then it's also interesting that 3 of the top 6 went red in the most recent elections in those states (Mass, NJ, VA).

voting for obama is the purest sign of lack of intelligence.

The man has been in office for just over a year. He has had nearly every idea shot down or watered down by republicans. How has he been any worse than anyone else in this situation? I'd like to hear some republican solutions other than "no".

a trillion dollars for pork for his democratic buddies was good money spent right? and what answer has obama given the republicans beyond my way or the highway?

Weren't you the one accusing other posters of relying on Limbaugh? Your statement above shows you either havent' paid attention to R proposals or you are parroting Dem talking points.

*Sigh* I can see that most of you aren't helping Tennessee's situation at #30.

Yes because we all know how much more common sense college graduates have over those less educated. And what exactly is this little tidbit of information supposed to show us?

so what you are infering is that because not all of us are on the liberal locomotive that we are ignorant backwoods morons?

Not at all. People have the right to their opinions. I don't agree with everything Democrats do. Each party has people that are full of crap.

And you're correct, I currently live in WV because WVU is a college I can afford to go to.

Do you believe Pelosi belongs on that list?

The reason more rich people are republicans is because they don't like paying taxes. It has very little to do with right wing conservative values. Rich people are a lot closer to the center than to the far right.

I bet it has a strong correlation to belief in free market ideals and meritocracy - I'd say those are conservative values.

you don't know many republicans do you? it's a belief in personal responsibility.

More than likely, but I don't know enough about her to say for sure.

I believe both republicans and democrats have people who are liars, cheaters, scams, and con artists. I just happen to believe that the good democrats offer more than the good republicans more often than not.

I can't get a scholarship to a better school because I'm not smart enough/can't get the test scores. WVU has the promise scholarship. If you get a certain ACT score and had a certain GPA in high school they will pay for your entire tuition. I'm currently on that, but I would be in debt if I wanted to go to UT.

Or that they dont see why they have to pay so much of their hard earned money so people that dont work can get a free ride.
