utter contempt for the president of the United States.

I think this has so much to do with a deep racism that is so ingrained in some of these people that they are not making rational decisions...

Having a black man as president is just too much for them to take.

They think they are saving the country from the black man and nothing, nothing is stronger than the hatred they feel for the "uppity" man in the White House...

I knew a whole bunch of racists growing up and this is how they look at the world.

2. Many Confederate flags flying here in rural northwestern PA
There are quite a few militia groups as well (I know this via the county sheriff).

The tea baggers need soundly defeated and put an end to this idiocy.

9. Rural PA is a hotbed of hate
My dad had an uncle by marriage in North-Central PA who was in the klan. Creepy.

Too many people think this nonsense is limited to the South - totally wrong.

4. Bad joo-joo
We are fighting the civil war again, and again and again.

One step forward and two steps back. Sad state of affairs and those in denial and unreccing need to own up to their feelings.

6. They were funding these fringe candidates in order to get Boehner
as their Speaker.

I don't think they ever expected this.

They were playing around with fire by backing these people who are filled with hate.

10. Sadly true. They are so dug in that it is pathetic. Pathetic for our country, and especially for
the struggling Americans that need a sane government, not this bull crap.
