hey, coleman-i see u've been dealing with the bigotry issue everywhere.
here's my take...they-(r and r)- were displaying their bigotry, and dh was bowing to and defending them... and it is true that the same states that supported the confederacy/slavery seem to be the ones supporting repugs today-especially the more bigoted ones-overt or covert.
The South is a generally conservative region so it votes Republican. What's supposed to be remarkable about that?
is that what u call it these days? 
You think it's unfair to call the South "a generally conservative region"???
