I'd like to thank all the right wingers who responded to this thread for proving the premise of the OP.
Thank you, thank you.
You still haven't addressed your false claim that red counties have a high incidence of food stamp dependency.
The poorest counties in the nation (food stamp dependent) are also Democrat strongholds.
Would you like to challege my facts?
Starr County has long been a strongly Democratic county but suffers from low voter turnout with only approximately 20% of its 53,000 residents voting. No Republican has won the county in over a century
Traditionally Democratic, Maverick County was one of the only counties in Texas where George McGovern received a majority of the vote.[26] The last Republican to carry the county was Herbert Hoover in 1928
On November 18, 2008 a Willacy County grand jury indicted a number of political figures, including Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez. Indictments have not yet been made public and a district judge still has to sign the indictments. Two state district judges were also indicted along with State Senator Eddie Lucio, Jr
While the state of Texas went strongly for Republican George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election, Dimmit County, a traditional stronghold of the Democratic Party, supported U.S. Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, with 2,365 votes for Kerry to 1,188 for Bush.
Hidalgo County tends to vote for the Democratic Party. Hidalgo County is represented by Ruben Hinojosa of Texas's 15th congressional district, and Henry Cuellar of Texas's 28th congressional district. In the 2008 presidential election, 69% of the voters voted for Barack Obama while 30% voted for John McCain.
Juan Cornejo of the Teamsters Union and The Political Association of Spanish-Speaking Organizations organized the Hispanic population among cannery workers and farm laborers of Crystal City in 1962–63 and succeeded in electing an all Latino city council. The feat became known as the Crystal City Revolts.[20][21] The Raza Unida Party was established in 1970 in Crystal City and Zavala County to bring greater self-determination among Tejanos.
With its heavy African American population, Madison Parish remains a stronghold of the Democratic Party. In the 2008 presidential election, the Democrat Barack Obama of Illinois received 3,100 votes (58.5 percent) in Madison Parish to 2,152 (40.6 percent) for the Republican nominee, John S. McCain of Arizona.

Yes I did. I posted a map but it was removed by someone. Here's another nice map of diabetes and obesity rates. Poorly educamacated, short lifespan, food stamps, and fat, in other words, talk radio fans. More red country.
As someone stated earlier, you guys will probably blame minorities for this.

You're losing it. You are resorting to "the narrative" and petty insults.

Maybe you know, how does someone remove something from someone else's posts when you are not a mod?
The poster who claimed that could not have been using an excuse for their ineptness now could they?
