I live in Austin and Dethanos has pretty much expressed my feelings. Today I went to Zilker park and, along with other Obama supporters, made phone calls to North Carolina. I decided if I can't rely on my own state, at least I'll call North Carolina and hope they bring this election home for OBAMA. Austin is about the only cool place to live in Texas, and of course we are all for OBAMA here! Where are Molly and the ya ya Sisters when we need them?

Here we not only know Obama is a Christian, he will win both cities by double-digits on Tuesday. Both Dallas and Austin voted for Kerry in 04 so we'll definitely vote Obama this year. I already did along with most of my Dallas (Oak Cliff) neighbors. And yes it does get tiring putting up with the hard-core rightwing Bush Lovers. They're clueless and apparently always will be...

We are strong Democratic Obama supporters. Even though the rest of rural and backward Texas cities (Dallas, Houston) seem to be stuck in the middle ages. It will take the next generation to turn it around, as long as they don't "sell out" like the baby boomers did.

See? I knew it. I knew they were going to go after him. OK. We have the race card, the gender card, make way for the "Jew card." I think McCain has played his entire hand now. Crazy old bastard.

I live in Dallas, and I've put up with much conservative malarky during this election. It was actually very empowering when I went to my Dallas primaries and saw so many Democrats in my district, who waited around and voted in the caucases. There are liberals in Texas, you just have to look hard. We're the ones that go to Spiral Diner and shop at Whole Foods and Green Living, and dare to ride our bicycles for transportation. And Austin is actually quite liberal, as are a large part of the big cities. Please don't hate on all Texans – not all of us are igoramuses.

My mother went to visit her sisters in rural east Texas last week. While she was there, she challenged someone's statement that Obama was a muslim. She received a rude and aggressive response, and became so upset that she chose to leave the room. I really wish I had been there at the time, and I'm getting pretty pissed just writing about it. I'm done defending these people. Frankly, they can take their racist, ignorant, macho, liberal-hating attitude and shove up straight up their ass. We've got a fucking con-man for a governor, a complete asshole about to be re-elected to the Senate, and a state school board packed with homophobic creationists, and I'm absolutely fucking sick of it. The entire country is laughing at us, and I don't blame them. We have to stop living in the dark ages, and the first step is to vote out some of these asshat conservatives.

Yes, there are a LOT of your right wing bible beaters, mostly in north Texas, but you really shouldn't generalize things so much. If you think about it you're doing the same thing that McCain and Palin are with the "real" and "fake" Americas. The thing is, there are individuals who are ignorant. Not the entire population.
