Sorry, most have only three tines. A few have four. No pitchforks that will repeat six tines. (Sorry, couldn't resist it.)>>>>>>>>>>

Florida: Land of the Stupid Voter Need we say any more?Yes! Your "Supid Voter" comment should refer to those voters in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. But, as you know, being from NY and all, W won this state twice. How many times did he win NY State? Talk about stupid voters!

Apparently, I stepped on a raw nerve.
Actually, I have a county-by-county map of the '04 election framed on my wall and I am very aware of how the country voted last election. New York would be much better off without Chucky and Hillary and their liberal henchmen... but I should be grateful because I get to put a 'Run Hillary, Run!' bumper sticker on the front of my car... you can't do that with Jeb.

We have a lopsided share of this countries idiots because idiots believe sunshine will make their wallets grow even if they're empty, food will taste better in 100% humidity, mental health issues will dissolve in 96 degree heat if cooked long enough, and fresh air is wonderful.
The reality is we have zero income tax, air conditioned windowless homes, best CCW & personal protection law in the country, a Sunshine law to keep our politicians (in state) in check, homestead tax exemptions, live alligators to threaten your wife, kids neighbors dog and the mail person with, one and a half seasons of clothing is all we need, our Spanish illegal residents hail from a true dictatorship, we recipricate anyones driver's license without question and 'old sparky' has been replaced with a well used needle.
We also have a saying: WE DON'T CARE HOW YOU DID IT UP NORTH.
And the invasion continues.
To: RedBeaconNY
Apparently, I stepped on a raw nerve.Well, you sure did. I'll defend my state and I accept your explanation. Liberalism is a disease and, unfortunately, NY is in the midst of an epidemic.
If only Jeb would run for the Senate.

I can back you up. Your words are all true...there is *Florida* and then there is *South* Florida. And when strange things are happening in Florida, it's usually south of the mouse ears.
To: manwiththehands
Florida ... oh, jeez, the land of hurricanes, hanging chads, recount after recount, an even 50-50 'Rat/Repubic split, and stupid and careless voters causing a presidential election crises. They can be smug. Wow, Ohio, you sure do have room to talk.
Yes we can be smug.... our State 'blew it' less recently than yours.

To: GreenEggsNHam
I'm sorry, but Ohio's
votes won Bush's reelection. By just over 100,000 votes. And our (soon to be the next Governor) (true Republican) Secretary of State Ken Blackwell made sure that the lunacy that took over Florida wasn't going to happen here. Even Kerry conceded Ohio when he knew he didn't have the
votes.
So Ohio "blew it"? Why do you say that? Is that what this article is supposed to be saying? Ohio "blew it " because George Soros and moveon.org and a bunch of moonbat whining Kerry sore losers say our "system is broken"?
Your problems in Florida are worse than I thought.

A few years ago, there was the case of the brave little dachshund, swallowed whole by an alligator, she chewed her way through his hide, killing him in the process. The family had seen her swallowed whole and thought she was a goner, but a short while later there she was on the back doorstep, with barely a scratch. The vet credited that incredible dachshund digging instinct for saving her life. Punta Gorda is where this happened. Well, we all know dachsies rule!

Actually Those stupid voters you speak of are in fact sun baked liberals PAID to complain by the DNC.
Real Floridians never complain about anything, afterall we live in Florida.

Liberals don't have to be paid to complain. It's their nature. Your bunch (which was once my bunch) is a group of media whores who thrive on the spotlight and since they have no good ideas, complaining's the only feasible way to get any air time.

They are also very good at sniffing out cottontails, could they be trained to sniff out lying politicians? Yep. Had a friend who did just that. He took the dog to a church dinner (fundraiser type, all the local politicians were out pressing the flesh), and the poor critter looked like it was chasing its tail, just trying to point.

They get paid to complain all the time, you just never understood that complaining is most Liberal's jobs.
Take for instance, those that ride around on Buses to where ever Jesse Jackson needs a crowd, they are paid well enough to make an "honest" living as a port-a-crowd. And then there are the anti-war/anarchists/trilaterial protesters again well funded and able to show up and camp out where ever needed to cause a ruckus, they too are paid protesters. Or in the case of those "union" marchers protesting Wal-Mart they were actually paid less then you average Wal-Mart associate gets to protest the low wages there.
Liberals rallying in the streets are paided to be there, which is why you really can't match them with any sort of a counter-protest, conservatives have real jobs.
Liberals do have to be paid to complain, afterall they can't find real jobs.

I can see you have absolutely no clue about the meaning of the term 'redneck'. A 'redneck' is a person usually of Scotch/Irish extraction who is fair complected and works outdoors. These people immigrated to the southern US and a lot of them became farmers. They don't tan well and instead their necks remain sunburned and red all the time. They tend to have lots of skin cancers in later life. Sheesh! You are as ignorant as most CA people I have met, including the relatives of my (redneck) husband who immigrated to CA.

I am sorry you had to make such an ignorant statement:
You are as ignorant as most CA people I have met, including the relatives of my (redneck) husband who immigrated to CA.
FYI, I lived 3 years in Florida, smack in the middle of the Panhandle (Panama City, the Redneck Riviera. Unlike your academic discussion of the term "redneck" (which I will not dispute,) my dissertation on what makes a redneck comes from the practical side. I have lived among real rednecks...I have met real rednecks...and even though I have left Florida, I am still living among rednecks, only now in California. I define redneck (in the practical terms,) as someone who does things such as
without thinking there's anything wrong with it. By the way, here are a few more examples of the things rednecks do. Trust me, I have seen them done in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and....yeeeeaaaaah!!
