Well, the certainly explains why some people vote the way they do!
Funny, I don't watch any of those shows. (Do you know anyone as conservative as me?)
ReplyDelete"Real Housewives" and "Honey Boo Boo" are two shows I would chew a leg off to get away from.
I tried watching Duck Dynasty twice. I was not impressed.
Deadliest Catch is the one on that list I've seen the most. I really have to respect their work ethic. Still, I don't try to find it. I couldn't even tell you when it's on.

ReplyDeleteSeveral but I think the quality of TV and what people watch is not a left-right issue.
And I'd chew off both of my legs:)
