Over at TheHill, there's an article about how the dimrats want to woo the rural voters, after sneering at them for decades.  Just look at the DUmmies and what they say about rural people.

Senate Democrats see farm bill, rural voters as key to 2014 election

By Alexander Bolton - 06/04/13 05:00 AM ET

  Senate Democrats hope to pass a five-year farm bill this week and bolster their appeal with rural voters, who they see as crucial to retaining their majority in 2014.

Democrats have stepped up their outreach to rural constituencies this year as they head into a daunting midterm election year with a slew of seats in conservative-leaning rural states to defend.


The quest to keep their Senate majority became more complicated Monday with the death of Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.). New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) is expected to appoint a Republican, which means Democrats will likely have to battle a GOP incumbent to regain the seat. 

Agriculture is a major industry in Montana, South Dakota, Arkansas and North Carolina, four states that are huge GOP targets next year. Montana and South Dakota are open seats following the announced retirements of Sens. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Tim Johnson (D-S.D.). Meanwhile, Sens. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) and Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) are two of the chamber’s most vulnerable incumbents.

It also included this sentence,

Democrats want to change the perception that they are primarily the party of big cities and the East and West Coasts.


which made me laugh. 

Comments (except for the lone lib troll) were along of the lines of:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA  *snort* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, 'cause rural voters love gun grabbers.

Good luck with that, losers!

That Farm Bill is nothing but food stamps.

The chances of that happening here in the Missouri Ozarks would have to go through months of intense effort to get to zero.

Yeah, that's gonna work.  Not even. 

Granted, the unsustainable Food Stamp program does expand the market for crops which benefits farmers in the short term.  But every crop producer I know, and I work with many on ag issues, is willing and eager to trim that hog down for the good of the whole country.

Looks like a good year coming up for corn. Pity the poor city folks who would rather eat it than pour it in their gas tanks........
