    no i didnt say anyone who wears that is a redneck. however there are rednecks that live in pittsburgh. saying rednecks only live in the south is terrible. There are people that live in NY that have redneck tendencies. see i can play that weak game too.

    Yeah there's soo many rednecks because Pittsburgh is just filled with farms huh? Yeah maybe 2 hours out of the city, you can't just generalize it and say that's Pittsburgh.

    Possibly because people around the world are also effected by what happens in the U.S. Espiecally Canada. What you said would be like if some off the wall country was to bring in a leader who said from day one i'm going to rule the world. Wouldnt we here in the US be worried, concerned..and following it?

    wow, really guys? This is what you are getting caught up on? I'm actually pretty. . . I don't even know what to say. One guy didn't get what I said at all so another guy sees what he said and continues the downward spiral. Okay, let me try to explain what was going on here. Steel implied that I said anyone who owns/owned one of stupid Obama shirts was a redneck. When in reality if you read closely, I said the rednecks that do own them. For all I know, Joe Billionaire that works at Exxon and who will probably bring home a huge bonus this year, could own one of the shirts. See, I wasn't talking about him. I was talking about an overwhelming amount of the people that own the shirt. Racists and/or rednecks. NOW since I knowwwww you will go here, next since you seem to not actually read the point of what one is saying. Nooooooooo, not all rednecks are racists.

    So like I said before. The redneck comment that got you started about the north and all was really not the point. Although, I still hold firm to the fact that anyone, anywhere, at anytime can be a redneck or have redneck tendencies.

    edit: Some more categories of people that might own the shirt. Extreme McCain supporters, people that got them for a joke, people that got them as a funny gift, and, well. . . Thats all I would like to believe own it because I still find it terrible that an idiot would make a shirt like that about a guy that is trying to help the country. But hey, the world isn't puppy dogs and fairy tales.

    Does anyone actually believe if some other guy was president, the terrorists wouldn't have been able to fly planes into the towers?


    I honestly ignore every word that comes out of the mouth of any vice president or would be vice president. They're pretty much the most useless person in the white house. Dan Quayle? Al Gore? **** (lol can't put Di ck) Chainey? Morons, the lot of them so she'd fit right in. Gotta love the job of staying alive in case the president gets shot. Chainey did it, how hard could it be?

    Edit: Really, the running mate just has to be in line with the party but be different enough from the presidential candidate that they can capture the maximum votes. The republican VP was always going to be a woman because they could steal all Hillary's votes (as the voters swore they wouldn't vote for Obama if Hillary lost) and they knew the Democrats couldn't go with a woman for VP without it being Hillary but with all the slamming she did of Obama, that was never gonna happen. Politics are garbage cause they do things for entirely the wrong reasons which is why I don't vote. As soon as they stop being idiots and start caring about actual issues instead of slamming their opponent with every fistful of mud they can get their hands on, then maybe I'll give a **** too.

    My gripe is that if Obama wins I can kiss my annual raise goodbye. If McCain wins I will probably get deployed a lot more. I am still very undecided on who I want to vote for....

    Obama predicted to carry PA and OH. It looks very very grim for the GOP
