Mississippi

[Person Man]

Mississippi 18-29 whites voted 18% Obama in '08, which was better than 11% among all whites, but not exactly something to call home about.

Lol. That's a bit sad. Generation after generation after generation seems to be trapped in the same mindset. Still. After all these decades. 160 years after slavery officially ended in the south.

What mindset are you talking about? There's nothing wrong with having a conservative approach to things. The idea they're still into segregation is a stereotype.

                                                                                                                                                   Indeed.  Ms voters support limited govt, lower taxes, and judeo
 Christian values.  They are not racist, just intelligent

You fellows must be confused or never met a Southerner.

However, the average MS voter's opinions on the size of government, tax policy, regulations, and energy would do far more good for the economy

So, 'the economy' means the rich, cheesepizza?  Perhaps you are 'smart', not many people understand that.

A lot of poor ordinary Mississippians vote republican simply because they prefer a smaller government and less taxes. The republican party isn't owned by rich businessmen like a lot of people assume.

That's right, they vote to benefit the rich, guy.

No they don't vote to benefit the rich guy. They vote to limit government from interfering with their financial privacy. Just because they aren't wealthy doesn't mean they want the government taking someone else's money and giving it to them. Believe it or not there are still economic ethics where people believe in hard work and sacrifice over government redistribution of the wealth.

Because people have the right to be poor.
