(21,115 posts)Northern Fla is unreal when it comes to politics....I was shocked (I was married to guy from there). As a resident of N. Fla I know you have it hard too..though you may have found some compatriots in Duvall County but in South Carolina....I was a social pariah! I didn't know anyone that thought like me. I went to Ed Schultz's One Nation rally in DC and cried all day because "I found my people". So I have earned my right to speak my mind here...I will not be silenced and I am sure you feel the same way. I am not one of the "bash all the Democrats" on DU crowd that thinks that is going to work....they have NO idea about the reality that nearly HALF this country has been brainwashed by Republicans. I defy them to go to these places and TRY to suddenly get Teabaggers and rural Republicans to agree to suddenly accept Leftwing policies...they seem to think that they would be easily swayed...I got news for them THAT is not going to happen. Progress is going to happen slowly and incrementally BECAUSE of those people.
