Yes, but the reporter was much safer in the most anti-Obama district than he would be if he traveled to the most anti-Romney district.

Ah, but that would simply be lost on said reporter.

King country, with the “town” of Guthrie as county seat, is in MY area of TX, although approx. 70-80 mi from me. But in TX, trust me, that’s not very far.

It is ranching and oil country. Period. With a few government workers thrown in. People leave there and don’t go back, when they’ve done with the local schools. It is remote, isolated, pretty in a rough-hewn way. The population trend is inexhorably downward and one day, unless a new energy boom or the like occurs there, it will be a ghost county/town.

People there still hold to timeless American values, but they are dying. It used to be Democrat, way back when, such as when Rick Perry’s dad was a Democrat county commissioner in Haskell county, east of there. But the Democrat party left them, they didn’t leave it. And they finally recognized it and now vote accordingly.

I have been there once or twice, but truly unless you have some reason to go there or go through there, you are always better off taking a different route, whereever you’re going. Once we went through there on our way to another remote small town, Paducah, for a religious service held by a preacher we knew. Another time we took our Tennesee relatives on a tour of this area and went through it.

Imagine mile upon mile upon mile of rolling, occasionally hilly but mostly rolling, reddish landscape with mostly scrub cedar, with an occasional “regular” type tree thrown in. Ranch headquarters so far off the road you don’t even see people. Some oil pumps and natural gas tanks. Very few vehicles on the roads. Vultures circling endlessly, etc. But it is quiet and natural and it is “God’s Country”.

But “the children” can’t wait to leave for the wider world...

Wyoming was the highest percent Romney state at 69.3%. In 13 Counties(of 23) he got over 75% of the vote. Similarly, Obama got the lowest % there. The three most North East counties got over 84% of the vote to Romney.

Sounds great. But where is the story about the most anti-Romney places where Obamugabe won 100% of the vote?

>> And Obama still won 5 votes... Doesn’t anybody else find that strange?

Not really. Nowhere in Texas is very far from Mejico. And those federal benefits consultants, why, they’ll drive around until they find ya. It’s their job and they take it seriously.

If I were a resident of that town I would join Angie’s List and report the inferior quality and “workmanship” of the Obama administration...On second thought, maybe I’ll do it anyway!

...but my grandson is too young to vote and my son-in-law hasn’t gotten his U.S. citizenship yet.

Since when has that ever stopped anybody from voting?............

The area where I live (SW VA) was VERY anti-0bama. Has to be one of the more anti-liberal areas in the entire country. In virtually every county around here, 0bama lost by about 75 points. Without us, VA wouldn’t have been close. Just wish we had more voters. Well, I wish we could have the additional voters without having the people. (the dems manage to do this in many places with mastery)

Murderers choose president – three biggest murder cities in the country were hugely biased toward Obama. Data below.

We have already seen that Philadelphia was one of the most Pro-Obama citieis in the country, with Romney receiving
zero votes in 59 voting districts.
http://www.latinospost.com/articles/6855/20121113/final-presidential-election-2012-results-votes-breakdown.htm
94% black http://articles.philly.com/2012-11-13/news/35069785_1_romney-supporters-mitt-romney-voter-id-law/2
“Nationally, 93 percent of African Americans voted for Obama”

It is no surprise to learn then that Philadelphia is the homicide capital of the country.
http://www.thedp.com/index.php/article/2012/01/philadelphia_saw_nations_highest_homicide_rate

Chicago and the District of Columbia follow closely behind as homicide captials

Chicago of course had 37 precincts - where Romney received zero votes

15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
