What are the Differences between Northern and Southern Politicians?

What do you think the differences are and what are the advantages of both when it comes to getting things done in Washington? Is it a different way of lifestyle? What are the advantages of the North and South regions Politically? Does that make a difference?

Bill Clinton is a southern politician & he did a pretty good job at "taxing us to death"
Patrick lehey is a northern politician & all he does is whine, "intellectually lazy"
Stereotyping is just stupid. Geography has nothing to do with ones values nor political mindset.

But during the last 40 years, how many presidents came from northern states?

Intellectually lazy is the last thing that describes Patrick Leahy.

“They have squandered the surpluses ... the public's trust in corporate accountability and in the markets, and the opportunities to use the surpluses to protect and strengthen Medicare and Social Security and homeland defense,”

Patrick Leahy quote

The administration simply designates someone as a terrorist and that is enough to land them in prison indefinitely.
Patrick Leahy

This President and Vice-President are masters at changing the subject. They have attacked John Kerry's distinguished military record, even though neither of them saw combat and many others in the administration used family connections or deferments to avoid military service altogether.
Patrick Leahy

With Enron and WorldCom and others, this is the last time in the world that the Senate should weaken conflict-of-interest standards.
Patrick Leahy

The U.S. government is basically saying to American citizens, if you go abroad, you are on your own...

Patrick Leahy said this in: Senate committee approves Mukasey

If we could get back on topic & try not to make this a testament to Lehey, thanks.

You brought him up by accusing him of being intellectually lazy. Are you saying no one is allowed to contradict you?

Plus, Senator Leahy is a HUGE Batman fan and even appeared in a cameo role in Batman and Robin, which makes alright in my book
