Rock-stupid hillbilly state may cost Kerry the election
Or so says David Plotz in this article.
“But if the folks I met in Herron’s district are any guide, these issues aren’t translating into support for Kerry. Greg Lamb, who lost his job when the concrete factory shut, doesn’t blame Bush for the bad economy. He likes the president’s Christianity, and he hears that Kerry opposes guns. (When I ask Lamb what he hunts, he jokes, “Liberals.”) Karen Gardiner, a secretary at a Dresden Baptist church, downplays local economic problems. What matters are the war–which as a daughter and mother of soldiers, she supports–and moral issues like abortion and gay marriage, which she opposes.”
Somebody want to tell me, again, what the FUCK I was doing in Tennessee last year?
