Careful here. If this sort of thing continues, the government may decide that "rednecks" are a seperate race and to make fun of them like this is racial discrimination, then we will all be in trouble. CR4 splashed all over TV and ridiculed by the media.

Depending on the which numbers you look at...... Unemployment is now down somewhere between 7% to 25% all due to the competence of Government advisors to the president's intuitive of putting people to work.

Thats why we put him back in there?
