An ironic word or two about "RED STATES"
It hasn't been too many years since the rePukes were screaming "BETTER DEAD THAN RED" and were touting the soon to be bankrupt and largely defenseless Soviet Union as "The Evil Empire."

NOW being "RED" is GOOD?? Every time I see one of those RED/BLUE maps, it just cracks my little talking monkey ass up. These people are so fucking clueless; the can't even keep their own enemies straight without a scorecard. Just how in the fuck did these assholes end up ruling the world?

And don't think they won't unless somebody stops them. One World Government means Universal Neocon rePukeism to these demons.

Head for the hills, folks. Maybe your kids will live long enough to overthrow these bastards.

1. I don't think they chose that "red"
designation. I think that was just the way the networks, or the voter service, whatever it was called, mapped it out. I live in a blue state, and most of the conservatives that I talked to about it were peeved.

anyway, it's not the 'color' that they object to, like us it is the ideology and/or philosophy symbolized by the color.

3. And generally
in terms of federal monies red states are receiver (Welfare) states Blue states are the Donor states.

Shame on them for living off the efforts of the liberal states.

4. I live in Nevada, formerly a red state,
However there is so much dissatisfaction with * that at this time it should be considered a purple state and fast becoming Blue. IMHO.
