/p> p> Having grown up in a western Pennsylvania small town, I don't think that many of my friends and neighbors were bitter except when the government in Harrisburg took more of their money for the infrastructures of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and let our roads continue to decay. And yes I'm sure that there may be more guns than people in that town. And yes, most everyone attends a church on Sunday. But they are churches that fly an American flag on the altar.

Just Jesse Jackson with a Harvard Law degree. br> -- Tom McGonnell br> Alexandria, Virginia /p>

It is interesting to note that both Democrats speak with great compassion to us about the tough economic times. That we the people work so hard and yet fall further behind in each year of a Republican administration. They tell us we can't afford gas; housing, medical care and education for our children.

It is time for all Americans to wake up to the threat of elite out of touch Democrats. br> -- Howard Lohmuller
