What political trends you don't like about your state?

[HAnnA MArin County]

I don't like how Missouri is "trending R," as is conventional wisdom on here. We lost our beloved bellwether status in 2008, which I think in large part was attributed to racism in the heavily Dixiecratic Bootheel. Census results indicate that we are losing population in the heavily Democratic areas in and around St. Louis and Kansas City, and that the biggest population booms occurred in the heavily GOP areas: St. Charles County and the Springfield suburbs (Christian and Taney counties).

Another thing I don't like is how the crackers in the rural areas are being blinded by the Republican/Tea Party into voting with their Bibles over their pocketbooks. Most people who live in the rural areas here are more concerned about electing pro-life and anti-gay candidates than they are about electing candidates who will give them some economic security and bring jobs to the area.
