Major City - Bush
Isn't it odd that most of the votes here for Bush are from major cities and the votes for Kerry are from suburbs?
The reason is that although cities are heavily liberal, most of the population in major cities are ignorant of politics, and the ones who are not ignorant are conservative. How could so many people in the Bay Area keep Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Lee, and Gavin Newsom in power? Becuase they're ignorant.
Uhm, no. There are just as many ignorant conservatives and suburbanites as there are liberals and city dwellers. I've talked to people in the suburbs who couldn't point Iraq out on a map. They pointed to Poland...And people who didn't know whether Bush was a democrat or a republican. One republican didn't even know how the president is elected. He was like "If Gore got more votes then why is Bush president, YEAH youre stupid" *sigh* Also someone, who suppored the Iraq war, didn't even know why we attacked it. But I can't blame them, its hard to lose track when our "reason" keeps changing from protecting us from terrorists and WMDs, then when there were no WMDs it turned into removing an evil dictator, now its bringing "democracy" to the Middle East.
The fact that suburbanites are sheltered can contribute to their ignorance.
Someone who is pro-gay marriage, etc just has a different opinion than you. That doesn't make them ignorant. If you think that then you're the ignorant one.
I hate extremist right and left people. They're so annoying.
