    Mr. King appears to regard humans the same as he does dogs - not worth the time of day. He feels states have the right to ban contraception; he voted to restrict the Violence Against Women Act; consistently votes against acts requiring equal pay for equal work.

    You know how they say if someone is an animal abuser, the next thing you know that person will be abusing children/people? Seems to me that Mr. King is an equal abuser of everyone.

    I can't believe that this moron is actually an "elected" official.

    I was reading some of the comments people had posted on this article, and it made reference to southern states and those below the Mason-Dixon Line - and implied that those people had the mentality to condone dog fighting. How incredibly unfair to try to label people that way because of their geographic location. And yes - I live about 3 miles south of the Mason-Dixon Line..............

    It's bad enough that there are lots of morons out there who think that way, but one who is very public with these views who has been elected.. and RE-ELECTED.. to office? Shocking and discouraging.

    My problem with this is he thinks it's hypocritical that we allow people to fight yet not animals. THOSE PEOPLE MAKE A LIVING OUT OF IT AND DO IT WILLINGLY YOU IDIOT. I am assuming he is talking about wrestling or boxing. The animals do not have a say in it. Disgusting for sure.

    Pom, unfortunately, that is a popular stereotype. I have heard it before, and I to think it is really unfair to paint all people with the same brush based on their geography. Don't worry, WE know not all people think like that.

    I'm an "import" to Delaware - I was born and raised a Yankee in Rhode Island. But it's so true that people are stereotyped by their geographic location. Just like I list my location as (S)lower Delaware - and that is a Delaware stereotype. Anyone living south of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal is classed as this. You could take it 2 ways I suppose - slower in intelligence, or slower in the more relaxed lifestyle.
