The media does like to focus on the most redneck members in the crowd. I am willing to bet there was a huge democratic majority on those beaches. Hispanics and limp-wristed whites don't make for good liberal tv. I agree on the tattoos. I can only think of a few worse life decisions. For middle class and poor people, voting democrat is the best way to secure a life of economic peril. I was considering temporarily moving back to California, but the taxes suck ass. I am against all progressive taxes and Cali punishes the middle class .
