"I don't understand why poor people (aka middle class people from Ohio) constantly vote republican".

We're not poor, just middle class. Maybe they should come for a visit and find out what makes us they way we are. The things we value, our children, our families, our freedom. I live in Hilliard (the west side of Columbus). I can get in my car, drive fifteen minutes and be in the center of Columbus, enjoy all the trappings of urbania. I can walk out my back door and in ten minutes, I am standing in the middle of a corn field. I can drive 50 mile to the south and enjoy a full day of mountainbiking. I can drive two hours to the north and enjoy a week's vacation on Lake Erie. The best part of all of this is that, I can do all of this with my wife and daughter and feel safe and welcomed when I do any of it. It's not about the money. The money is nice and it can get you lots of stuff. But, as they say, it can't buy you love. My family, friends neighbors and community, I love them all.

We vote to protect what we love!

What a wonderful morning. I walked into my liberal office today, saying, "Ya know, the sun is brighter, the air is fresher, and even gravity seems lighter as I walk."
