Could we Southern DU'ers please get some recognition?
Edited on Tue Apr-28-09 12:57 PM by dem629
The Repubs are pretty much just a Southern party, so those of us living down here in this stronghold of mouth-breathing ditto-heads, are putting up with them so those of you outside of this region don't have to.

You're welcome.

;)

4. Thank you for your valuable service!
Now, if you could just start to herd them to a small island off the coast of South Carolina, we'd appreciate it. :hi:

5. Hang in there, and remember
that VA, NC, and FL all went blue--and Georgia's trending the right way. There's hope yet!

6. Don't feel left out. The next big push in on YOUR turf.
I am sure it will be a struggle of historic proportions.

9. Personally, I think its time to send some reinforcements and serious money down there
Maybe we can reduce the Repubs to a ***rural** regional party.

11. Send us money and workers
Here in Texas, we'd like to see what we could do if 1/5 of our political contributions stayed in state, just out of curiosity

14. I'm here(south) too, BUT
I don't feel anyone should feel sorry for us, ashamed maybe, but not sorry. When we start fielding VIABLE candidates and not twirly-eyed whackos and using politically correct surnames as qualifications for office...then and ONLY then will some inroads be made into the piney woods.

15. Florida went blue, our county did and we pushed a couple of adjoining counties to blue!
But it was a hard push. And I just have to drive a few miles north to find hard core red Georgia, or east & west to find hard core red Florida counties, so there is still a lot of work left to be done around here.

This region bashing in other threads sucks and comes across as a Freeper type attitude. I don't care what region people are from, we're all in this together. :grouphug:

16. They would be overrun and drowned out up here and they
know it. That's why they have a stronghold on the south, imo.

21. I see enough Texas Dems on DU to know I'm not alone down here.
It's amazing how many fellow Democrats want to kick me out of the country too.

25. Right On, thank you!
NC here :hi: (VA for now but NC forever!)

We get extra points for growing up with mostly idiot knuckle-draggers but turning out alright anyway :headbang:
