West Virginia had not voted for a non-incumbent Republican for president since Herbert Hoover. It even voted for Michael Dukakis in 1988.
Then came 2000, when George W. Bush surprised everyone by winning West Virginia. How did he do it? With social issues, such as abortion, gays and -- most important -- guns, in a state where more than 70 percent of the voters have a gun in their households.
hmmmmmmm, let me see if I get this right, he won their votes by talking about prejudices, people who are different from them, guns and religious issues such as abortion.....NAW....there is no way that you would describe those voters as bitter clinging to guns, religion and people who are different......
Hypocrisy is very much alive and well and it is spell with an A.
