Newly-elected right-wing Republican Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt [said] that to find Democrats in Missouri, "You have to go to places where nobody wants to live anymore."

this really does go beyond the concept of not respecting the full range of your constituents and the interests of the democratic areas of the state. it goes beyond not representing your full state. and it goes beyond being a total jerk. this is part of an elaborate, continued message-play and power-play by the republicans to make their party seem full of energy and moving forward, while the democratic party is made to seem old fashioned, lifeless, and abandoned. it's actually quite cunning and devious. nobody said they weren't smart in their evil ways. i hate them all
