Compare that to the way Texas liberals like me are regularly classified as Rick Perry wannabes, here at DU. Prime example: there you are, dismissing the entirety of Texas as a "cesspool of a state," due to some unfortunate encounters you had there. Slam my state all you want, just be aware that it doesn't make you look too good.
