31. Give me a break

Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 05:32 PM by Kipepeo

I am a liberal Democrat from the backwoods of the south, grew up Fundie, Republican...the works.

Many Democrats came from this culture and are not "out of touch" with it. That's the right-wing media spin. Any time I turn on the teevee now I have to listen to how out of touch dems are and blah blah. Even if you believe the numbers (which I don't) there's half of the country out there who voted Dem. How is that "out of touch??"

The south has been manipulated by the conservative media and by prejudice and fear for a long time. We need to learn how to fight those problems, not build a bridge of "understanding" to them.
