It's not just the values of the South that pose a problem. It is the region's appetite for government. The most solidly red states in the nation tend also to be the most reliant on federal handouts -- farm subsidies, water projects and sundry other earmarks. It's hard to be the party of small government when you represent the communities that benefit most from big government. George W. Bush tried to straddle this divide by pleasing libertarians with tax cuts and traditionalists with spending. The result is a huge deficit.
Of course, Mallaby has to get in a swipe at those nasty leftists, as well.

I am sorry but people here live in fantasy land. the REd states vote Red because republicans pander to them verbally but most important the News station never report any political new unless it is about liberal destruction of family values. The church has taught them to be obedient or end up in the penn like uncle Joe or without a man like Aunt June all the time selling them up the creek. And it really burns them not to have blacks to kick around anymore a fact they blame on liberals
