7. It's beautiful here. I have forty acres of my own, with only my home...

on my property.

I live here, and I am not moving to live in an apartment in a congested city. Been there, done that.

6. Stop it

The red staters who support us don't need Al Franken's vile.

If he'd wake up and realize that the election was stolen, maybe he wouldn't say stupid shit like this

8. Repubs seem to believe that land actually votes, rather than people.

It makes them feel overconfident, which in a good thing for us in many ways.

Can anybody find one of those maps where the shape and size of states/counties is readjusted for population size? That's what you need whenever a Repub talks about the "sea of red".

9. Do you have no knowledge of why the republic was constituted...

the way that it was?

Jeez, because I live in the beautiful countryside, I am somehow less valuable than Democrats in "blue states." Stupidest argument ever.

votes are less valuable at all. I was condemning the opposite attitude from right wing red staters: that because our votes don't show up as a larger land area of blue states, it's less valuable. Do you understand me now?

Yes, I understand why our republic was constituted to try and balance the power of the states, so that the views of more populated states don't always take precedence over less populated states.

I'm also sick and tired of the arguments about how whole regions of the US should be scorned because they consist of red states.

11. What? You mean the election wasn't decided by acreage?

I could have sworn that's how they worked it. ;)

I'd like to see one of those maps. And show it to lots and lots of others.

12. Why hasn't a Dem cartographer

been hired to show the map with an adjustment of population, so that Cook county can be the 4/5ths size of Texas.

13. Red v. Blue is BULLSHIT

43% of Kerry voters live in the "Red States"

45% of Shithead voters live in "Blue States"

The USA is purple: http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/JAVA/election2004/
