(5,526 posts)I live in the reddest part of the reddest state, and trust me, they hate Obama. The curious thing about Oklahona, a state still living in the dark ages, is that we have appox, 640,000 people with no health insurance. Yet, the majority of the people in this state oppose the Affordable Healthcare Act. Most Okies also believe that Obama has cut the military, despite the fact that he has increased military spending each year that he's been in office. Another curious aspect of Oklahoma is the women. Most will vote for Romney, despite the crazy statements about rape and abortion coming from the right. Oklahoma also is home to the most rightwing newspaper in America, the daily Oklahoman. One of our Senators, a lunatic by the name of Jim Inhofe, goes around the state telling people that Obama has disarmed America. Having said all of this about the state that I call home, there are many good Democrats in this state who stand up to the wingnuts on a daily basis. And, one of the best republican bashing web sites on the internet, http://www.bartcop.com/ is run by an Okie!
I am surrounded by republicans every day at work and you wouldn't believe (well, yes you would) the vile things they say about Obama and Democrats in general.
OBAMA 2012!
GO NOTRE DAME!
