Mississppi, Alabama...and Kentucky too!

Well...the votes are in! Some Republikkkans in my favorite 3 states believe that Santorum is their guy!   Why am I not surprised?   Some incredibly scary data according to the Public Polling Policy website:





Alabama:

  • Edmund Petus Bridge (Bloody Sunday)
  • Blew up a church (and killed 4 innocent young girls)
  • Governor George Wallace
  • 9th poorest state in America (16.1% poverty rate)
  • 2nd fattest state in America (32.3% are obese)
  • 2nd most religious state in America (86% believe in God with absolute certainty)
  • 9th lowest state with college degrees (31.6%)
  • last state to repeal anti-miscegenation (interracial marriage) law in 2000!   Yes…2000!

Mississippi:

  • Murdered James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner (details)
  • Murdered Emmett Till (details)
  • Poorest state in America (21.3% poverty rate)
  • 3rd Fattest state in America (32.2% are obese)
  • Most religious state in America (91% believe in God with absolute certainty)
  • 5th lowest state with college degrees (29.3%)
Although the citizens of Kentucky have already given Santorum their "blessings", they're right up there with Mississippi and Alabama.

Kentucky:
  • home to Mitch McConnell (Senate Republican leader)…born in ALABAMA!!!
  • home to Rand Paul
  • 8th poorest state in America (17.3% poverty rate)
  • 6th fattest state in America (29.5% of the people are obese
  • 7th most religious state in America (83% believe in God with absolute certainty)
  • 4th lowest state with college degrees (29.2%)
I could never live or retire to any of these beauties!
