I guess Scarborough won't be reading my email...
He had some Alabama politician on, and they both gushed at how the south was the new hub of manufacturing in our country, and this was because of the low tax rates and "right to work."

A quick check of the unemployment rates show that my state (South Carolina, one mentioned several times) has 47th worst unemployment rate in the nation (12.1%). That politician's great home state of Alabama is 40th, with 10.9%.

Hell, half the 10 worst unemployment rates come from those same states that Scarborough and that Alabama guy were fawining over. Where are people to call them on their bullshit?

1. Check out the quality of life issues in those states. Ranks near
very bottom. The list goes on.

While I am glad people anywhere in this country have jobs,
I maintain my observation made years ago, still holds true.
The Gop Governors in the South epitomize
GOP CONSERVATIVE ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALISM
producing a society of very rich, masses
of poor and a diminishing middle class.

Scarborough said the good paying jobs. Recently when the
story came out about Boeing relocating to S.C., the
jobs will pay around 20K a year and some 30K.
I am not criticizing 20K: this beats minimum wage.
I am saying we are heading to average salaries
of 20K. 40 K will be considered upper income.

Sure you can scream Union Busting and you will be correct.
The more serious result I would say is the lowering
of our standard of living.

3. Being honest has never been one of Joey Scabs qualities
He comes off as a kinder gentler conservative, until it is pointed out he's full of shit.

5. Those "Mourning Joe" slubs NEVER read emails...
For a while, I was emailing them daily, hourly
refuting some of the crap they espouse.
They don't care-
the operate on the "Sarah Palin" philosphy...
"What I believe it true.. "

7. I just skip thru the channels and if they have some one
outrageous on I listen for a few minutes to see what they are spewing now. I am watching a program on History Channel. It is all about the rise and fall of the KKK in America. And I came to one conclusion, the Tag Bags are just another chapter of the KKK. Look at what the KKK believes in, so does the Tea Bags. They are pushing the same old beliefs as the KKK it is just disguised by another name. I am going to spread this observation over the net. Maybe people will begin to believe it. Racism is one of their main objectives. They hate our president mainly because he is black. The hate the democrats because they push public policy that includes all races and creeds. And that is exactly the main beliefs of the Tea Bags.
