You've been voting for Republicans for 30 years; what do you have to show for it? -Howard Dean South Carolina May 3, 2003

Please read the rest of the speech also.
I am very glad that Dean is actually actively campaigning in the south, trying to bring the south back to being competitive and actually represent them unlike how most Democrats have been most of the last 30 years where we say Who the hell cares? about the south.
But the South is the most economically and socially depressed part of our country. And it hasn't been getting any better. They stand for the Republicans who stand for cutting taxes and social programs but these same southern states actually pull in more Federal money than goes out in taxes. Much of this is pork projects.
So anyway. Discuss.
