Top Ten Ohio Unemployment Counties and the 04 Vote

[FullCountNotRecount]

If accurate people didn't vote for a better economic future. Kerry, like Gore only one one county. Bush improved in 6 of ten counties despite the economy.

I wonder how this squares with other American counties.

1. and yet we're elitist if we call these people "fucking morons"

Now I want to go out and by that book ...something like "What the HELL is wrong with Kansas?"

[lovedems]

3. No kidding. That book is on my Christmas list.

I agree, what morons. They vote against their own best interest. Idiots. I hope they enjoy their wal-mart jobs without health insurance.

[Gman]

5. Calling us elitist doesn't change the fact one iota that they

really are fucking morons.

7. They are not "fucking morons" they are Good Germans

Intelligence has nothing to do with it.

2. How are these people surviving?

16% unemployment? What is going on in these counties?

[Nexus7]

4. They got Jesus? N/T

[GRLMGC]

6. That's idiotic

Banning gay people from getting married isn't going to feed your fucking children.

10. The ruined economy

is part of the strategy.

You've noticed the market's doing pretty good, but the job market stinks, right? The right people are doing fine.

The more desperate people are, the more likely they are to turn to sky-daddy to help solve their problems.

They're ripe for the picking!

8. Bush lied!

They lied about everything. That is why we lost. That and rove's dirty tricks.

9. many weren't convinced Kerry would do anything

he voted for NAFTA and there were many analysis that tax credits
wouldn't do anything to stop the hemorrhage of jobs.

He never talked about trade.

I personally think either there was fraud here, these people are idiots
and so on...

but I tried LIKE HELL to get detailed papers out to Ohio people on the streets, on plans to tweak
policy, which really needed to be looked at in total...

and I feel the Kerry campaign, especially by stopping the "Benedict Arnold CEO" rhetoric just tried to play both sides way too much
and hence didn't convince anybody he would be any different.

That was the consensus, right or wrong, that there wasn't any difference between the two candidates, both were perceived as going to screw the worker.
