Does any other state besides Massachusetts get trashed by republican politicians?

[graywarrior]

[whathehell]

1. California?...New York?...."northeastern elites"?

[graywarrior]

2. What do they say about those other states

According to republican pols, coming from MA is the scum of the earth.

[Raine]

5. They not only dump on my state (CA) but the individual cities

here like "San Francisco TYPE liberals" said with each word dripping with contempt about anything they want to slam as a bad bad thing. I get so fed up with the kind of crap.

[graywarrior]

6. I hear ya. It's sickening

[EFerrari]

8. The gist is that CA and NY are full of loony elitist liberals.

Like that's bad.

[graywarrior]

9. The majority of people in MA are working class

That's what I don't get.

[EFerrari]

12. Same with CA and NY. It's a way to divide and conquer with bullshit.

[graywarrior]

13. I just watched Newt trash MA on CSPAN

I wanted to reach through the TV and slap him, the ugly little troll.

[EFerrari]

17. I've stopped watching all of that.

It's degrading and life is too short.

If I want to watch terrible theater, I'll go out to the high school. At least, they're sincere.

[graywarrior]

20. The madman I live with loves watching that crap

He analyzes their public speaking techniques. Ugh.

[EFerrari]

22. No one watches Gringrich to analyze his technique.

That's like watching a stripper to evaluate her proficiency in modern dance.

[graywarrior]

24. A guy who teaches public speaking is a different breed.

[itsrobert]

14. How's that different from California and New York

The majority of people in these states are working class. What are you trying to say?

[graywarrior]

16. That Newt Gingrinch pisses me off

[EFerrari]

19. We should call him Peter Newt Gingrich because all he's ever done is fail upward. n/t

[graywarrior]

21. !

[whathehell]

30. Well, you know, you do have to consider the source!

You know.."liberal"..."liberal"..."liberal"....They think that is, in itself, an insult.

[graywarrior]

31. Yeppers

[pangaia]

3. Sure...

New York (where I live) , California...

[11 Bravo]

4. It's not a state, but Chicago has taken quite a beating from the mouth-breathers recently.

[graywarrior]

7. Grrrrr

[surrealAmerican]

23. ... as has Illinois.

Sometime I feel like we're surrounded by a sea of crazy.

[graywarrior]

25. We are!

[LonePirate]

10. Obviously not a state but San Francisco is regularly derided for its values and what not by the Rs

[graywarrior]

11. God forbid we trash Texas because of the loonies that run that state

[Aerows]

15. Look at what runs AZ

Though I have little room to talk since I currently live in MS.

[graywarrior]

18. The entire country is Hotel California

[Sirveri]

26. So because they do it that makes it OK to do?

I'll happily trash the people who run Texas, the people are just people same as anywhere else.

[graywarrior]

27. That's what I'm saying!

MA residents are mostly working class people! Not many elites unless you go to Boston.

[Ineeda]

28. My adopted state

of Florida, with good reason, gets trashed by Dems -- the voters, not so much politicians -- but I'm so proud of my home state of Massachusetts. The contrast is like night and day. I wish I could vote for Elizabeth Warren.

[graywarrior]

29. I lived in Sarasota for five years, so I know what you're saying

[Loudmxr]

32. California! I was on Corrigidor when a guide asked me...

"Sir you don't carry yourself as an American. Where are you from?"

Smartass me I replied

"I am from California... some people in my country don't think California is part of the USA."

Let me quote myself at a recent City Council meeting for the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and also the attack on the Philippines the same day.

"I have stood on those beaches and I have climbed those hills and I have wept. It is a place still littered with the shrapnel dropped by bombers built right here in Burbank."

Corrigidor and Leyte. These are places that I treasure. Cebu, whose hills are just like the Verdugo Hills that surround my home town.

I am a Californian just like my parents whose grave is bordered by granite from the mountains surrounding and protecting our state.

[MrScorpio]

33. Come to Michigan

We're the poster child, baby!
