FOR SOUTHERNERS MOVING NORTH...

Don't, the weather's awful.  Also, no offense, but I don't want you guys coming to my state and... voting.

Nixon and Reagan, the two biggest Republicans ever, were both from California.  LBJ...Texas.  Besides, the south is all felons.  We can't vote.

Tallahassee was a fun place to live - state capitol, Florida State University with students from all over the world - 10 miles in any direction, you're in way-South-Georgia crackerland. Just drink lots of beer, you'll fit in anywhere.... Austin was the same way, but you had to drive 15 miles to escape civilization. Now I only have to drive 5 miles, and that's in Maryland... (!) The Eastern Shore wasn't even attached to the continental U.S. till 1954, kinda fun. There are tractors ride by my window, and I live on the main street.

What's the point of these lists?  Are you just listing every prominent Southern politician?  Are you that proud of Huey Long, George Wallace, and Strom Thurmond?

I think it is to demonstrate that not all southerners are gun toatin' Republican hillbillies, as you implied in your comment.
When you make such a generalization, you are really inviting people to do this.

If you don't like being generalized, other people probably don't either.

what's has this become.. brothers we shouldn't fight because some are from the north, some are from the south, and a lucky few are Texan... we should fight over who can make the best guitar from W.

This whole thread verges on being troll provoked.  If you want to feed this nonsense go ahead.

You "think"?  Dude, you're the one who posted the list.  Why did you include all those Republicans if that was your point?  If you don't want to read generalizations you shouldn't go on a thread called "south vs north".

 

[Watershed]

Yea......which ones are the Republicans?

Hay hay hay now, this was just a joke. A little lighthearted humor i got in an email, not a political endevor by any means.  Ya'll chill..... :icon_biggrin:
