Reading this makes me wonder if Joe has ever actually lived outside his concrete dominated world, where things grow and people live.

I kind of doubt it, given his assertion that my entire life is nothing more than a myth...

It may not be where the numbers are, but it is where our country's heart and soul lie.

Joe seems to have missed that most of the folks in the battleground states do live in those small towns and suburbs.

And Joe don't expect another apology from John McCain or an invite to the White House. It's one thing to have your doubts, but it's something else entirely to act like a rude bastard doing it.

In the words of Bugs Bunny, "Joe Klein....what a maroon".

Sent to Time an email requesting that they ask Mr Joe Klein what he is smoking as he is certainly not in the same world that the rest of us live in. HeH! I will bet that he says the same 'drek' about his fellow city dwellers when he is alone with his fellow 'elite' peers. Obama did just that and got caught at it once...........

The Easily-Fooled Knuckle-Dragging Rubes Liberation Front announces that to open our campaign against our oppressors we are going to leave a flaming bag of dog duty at Joe Klein's front door, ring the doorbell and run away.

Why are you so offended at what Joe Klein is saying? There is a lot of truth in what he said. You have to admit that there the Republicans are romanticizing the idea of living in a small town.

A lot of small towns are facing hard times as more and more people leave them for other places. Small towns have a lot to offer and I've enjoyed the years I've spent in them, but you have to realize that small towns are not what American is anymore.

80% of the population is living in cities and suburbs and probably have never lived in a small town. Time have changed (and I wish they didn't) but we have to face the facts.

It's not true that most people in battleground states live in small towns either. Klein isn't casting aspersions on anyone who lives in small town, he's just stating facts.

Heh. As someone who moved from a small town (Leavenworth, KS) to 80 acres in the out and beyond, I just wanna know this: WHEN DO I GET MY BIG CORPORATE SHILL CHECK?

Heh. I've been giving SWWBO money like it was water going over the falls (there's a little one where the creek in the back tumbles over the edge of the hanging valley into the big creek...) to get her chicken/goat/truck farm established.

All I've got are schedule F deductions which so far exceed the income to show for it thus far!

Fun, though. Beats living in a small town. Really beats living in anything bigger than a small town.

Joe Kline is out pushing his new book, he is going to save the environment one small town at a time, yeah sure. I was born
and raised in California many years ago and have seen it go
In the tank!!! I traded it for small town Idaho and have never looked back, Joe!!

The bigotry and prejudice on the left is not surprising anymore

mj and Joe Klein wouldn't know a small town if it bit them on the ass. Posting right now from a town of less than 1,000 in southwest Iowa, over an hour from the closest metro (Omaha), I'm wishing that all these idealistic liberals would just go practice their disfunctional medicine on themselves and leave the rest of us alone. Your groceries depend on it.

Corporate farming, wtf? Many of my best friends are row crop farmers and we grow a high density organic crop used for food additives. Nobody is corporate owned. One of my friends farms nearly 10,000 acres of beans and corn, yet it's a fourth-generation family operation. And while we're on the topic, not all of us receive subsidies. In fact, I was pleased to piss off our local farm agency by yanking our land out of CRP and letting it stay idle until I was ready to use it. No farm welfare!

Some small towns are struggling, but an equal amount here are growing. Some people figured out that the suburban real estate boom was an unsustainable bubble and moved out instead of paying inflated prices. The result? A more enjoyable lifestyle in a community where you actually belong, not a housing development with a Wal-Mart and convenience store as your neighbors.

Don't get me wrong - we still have our issues with irresponsible people, but at least here, we don't have to go through endless government red tape to fix things. I sure hope to see the mainstream media die soon. It's become nothing more than an endless source of fiction for the lazy progressives to absorb.

"mj and Joe Klein wouldn't know a small town if it bit them on the ass"

Thanks for assuming you know me, but I have actually lived in a small town. I liked living in small town but I'm not going to romanticize it.

"Corporate farming, wtf? Many of my best friends are row crop farmers and we grow a high density organic crop used for food additives."

Well clearly since you and your friends aren't corporate farmers, then it must not be true.

"In fact, I was pleased to piss off our local farm agency by yanking our land out of CRP and letting it stay idle until I was ready to use it. No farm welfare!"

Congratulations on your modesty. I wish all farmers were as humble as you are. You'll also be getting a medal from the Republican Party in their appreciation of your hatred of big government

MJ,

Understand how corporate farming works. Where I live we all grow chickens for Tyson or Pilgrams pride (Con Agra). They do not own the farm (land is expensive), the houses (even more expensive) or any of the liability. They sell us the chickens, we grow them with feed they sell us on our own farm. At some time, they come out and catch them an pay us a set price for the chickens. The point of all this is Tyson and Pilgrams Pride do not own farms. Its expensive and has a lot of risk. Farmers own farms. Tyson, Monsanto, Con Agra, Pigrams Pride sub contract their "growing operations" to farmers then buy and process the results.

Remember back in 1992, Bill Clinton ran as the "Man from Hope." A small town boy proving that "anyone can grow up to be President."

What was once a positive for democrats is now a reason to attack.

If Sarah Palin was from a big city, the democrats would be attacking her for that and stressing BO's "Kansas values."

Mark replied: "If Sarah Palin was from a big city, the democrats would be attacking her for that and stressing BO's 'Kansas values.'"

Damn, I had something to add but the truth of that statement makes everything sorta pointless.

Well, someone said small towns have problems donchaknow, and I'll be damned if I can think of a big city that doesn't have any problems, so ... what was the point?
