See, I KNEW there had to have been one. And then you rattled off a bunch I'm only marginally aware of. :hihi:
I'm guessing then that it was the uneducated Republicans that voted for Blanco and then Bush a year later?
I'd respond if I could figure out what the hell you're trying to say. My use of the phrase "educated Democrats" was a shot at those Dems (like my Dad) who are too stupid to realize that, philosphically, they are actually Republicans but continue to vote Democrat just because they always have.
this is why i contribute to this site.......where else can you get the blunt truth and accuracy that only martin can contribute? with that said, Blanco is a horrible leader and there should be a recall of epic proportions in the works immediately.
It's not that hard. You were ostensibly making a blanket statement about voting tendencies in LA, but it was really a thinly vieled attempt to knock people that vote Democrat. And that's fine. Just bear in mind that many of the same Republicans that voted for Bush also voted for Blanco (more than likely not educated ones, because that would mean that they voted for 2 completely incompetent candidates).
SF, you would be better off not responding to that guy. he likes telling people what they meant and taking unnecessary shots at people.
I know a number of not-too-bright republicans and democrats in north Louisiana that I grew up with who voted for Blanco because Jindal was a "foreigner". I explained that the guy was born and raised in Baton Rouge, was sharp as a tack, and was the only republican I was voting for in almost a decade, but it made no differnce to them at all. He "looks foreign" to them. Probably some kind of A-rab.
That is exactly what I was getting at. It's silly to characterize people by the way that they vote. Never has that been more evident than now.
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour got a hug. Gov. Kathleen Blanco was lucky to get a hello. The friction between state and federal officials has been brewing for the past few days and bubbled to the surface with President Bush's visit to Baton Rouge on Monday. In fact, Blanco did not learn Bush was coming to Louisiana for the second time in three days until informed by an Advocate reporter late Sunday night. Well, nice to see Bush is able to rise above and be "the bigger man." What a chump.
