I know they are Republicans for the most part. Johnson County is mostly business people and Republican but I think they tend to be old line Republicans . My aunt lives out there and she said it's about 80 percent Republicans.

I never go out to Lee's Summit but I know there are some big fundamentalist churches out that way. We have a big bible believing Baptist Church pretty close to me and those guys are just plain mean. And we have a lot of Catopics here North. We have a lot of Catholic churches all around.

But I haven't heard about any trouble so far.
