Wow...Honestly, I don't know where to start with this one. First they say that Democrats being associated with blue is because the MSM doesn't want them to be associated with communism and because the blue shows that America is supposedly very conservative.
?????
Of course, they did show a map of counties with their size determined by population but...they forgot to switch the colors! This is just blatant dishonesty...

I won't attempt to comprehend the post, because I just don't have the mentality required.

(533 posts)Know that the parties got there color randomly when Tim Russert pick them to color the map during the 2000 presidential election. In fact, it had always been random during elections up to that point and had no party symbolism. It was Russert and his board, and his saying blue-state for short reference that became meme during the post election controversy.
All I have to say to the right-wing poster is, "Duh!"

(533 posts)And not knowing that trivia wouldn't make you so. But I suspect that you are smart enough to google it before writing a blog with info pulled from your butt and therefor make an ass out yourself like that guy did.

If I could, I'd like to offer a suggestion to folks who frequent that site. DON'T meet these Conservatives before you die. Just go ahead and die now and meet them in Hell.
Just sayin'...
