I'm sure they'd be ok with it too. Of course, once the tax figures started to come in, tunes might be changed...

Livestock ? Prairie dogs? Irrelevantit may be somewhat of an oversimplification, but for the most part, the blue counties are the ones where lots of PEOPLE live. the red counties are ones where lots of livestock live.... or just prairie dogs.
clearly, if elections were won by how many square miles you had instead of electoral votes, McCain would have won by a landslide!
Livestock and prairie dogs don't vote....the folks that reside in those counties voted FOR McCain....just not enough of them to compete with the city ghettos where "under the bridge" dwellers vote for Dims...

the point is: there is a lot of livestock and prairie dogs and not a whole hell of a lot of people. As stated, if the election were won by square miles instead of electoral votes, McCain would have won by a landslide. As it was, using electoral votes, Obama whipped his ass. Sorry. but not really.
an interesting demographic point: Obama won the college educated/post graduate educated voters by a significant margin. and last I checked, most of them did not live under the bridge.

That is Rev Virgil's way of showing respect to folks who do not live in the liberal meccas of America

it is my way of explaining that total area is not as important as total vote count. Your guy lost... and in the electoral college, he lost big!
Say...who did YOU vote for for President, RSR?

Yet another attempt to disguise the overwhelming mandate that Obama received from the American public.
A much larger mandate than Herr Bush received in 2000 or 2004, by the way.

Mandate?
Do you mean Barney Frank?

Read the statement I posted and then reply. Perhaps it will prove that you are not a brain-dead moron after all.

I did honey. The only mandate I know if good ol' Barney Frank

It always happens like this, but still, I think you would have more respect for the people who live in those red countys, many of whom, I am sure you served with and whom served under you and quite possibly one or two who served over you.it may be somewhat of an oversimplification, but for the most part, the blue counties are the ones where lots of PEOPLE live. the red counties are ones where lots of livestock live.... or just prairie dogs.

Not a huge amount of support for libs? Upon what do you base this statement square mileage? The fact that Senator Obama won the areas of mass population should tell conservatives and Republicans something. It should tell them that they are not getting there message to the inner cities and that it is time for a new approach.
Good point.
My county was Blue?Do you think that maybe it had something to do with the fact that I voted for Bob Barr rather than John McCain?

I don't really see the point behind this thread, obama had the majority of the collage votes, and the greater popular vote. It may look uneven on a map but that is due to population density. So unless the conservitives are claiming that the system is unfair then I know not what can be debated.
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
