Looking at the voting map on the news I wondered. Why do the states that are most expensive to live in and has way more rich people, usually go for a democrat, like NY, NJ, CT, and CA for example. While the poorer states (usually in the south or in the middle) go republican. I mean the richest states need a republican more than the poorer states need a democrat (well you will think when taxes is suppose to be the issue). But they still go democrat. Why does the red states like to be so red then. Is it about race? Religion beliefs?
Rich liberals have a guilty complex and poor ethic people believe the rich white people should feel guilty so they vote for someone who will give them hope and change.
All the while nothing changes, but they feel better about it.
That summons up the democrat party these days.

That summons up your world view. I don't know why you all think that liberals feel guilty. Guilty about what?
I love how mateo45 just makes up stuff as he goes along and then expects us to believe it somehow.
Isn't that the case. Then when you call him out on it, no response until he makes up some other ridiculous statement. Guess the truth shuts him up, so hopefully he will be pretty quite.
For that matter, Mary Phagan (coincidentally the name of the young woman raped and murdered in Georgia in 1912 in the Leo Frank case, which revived the KKK) seems to have not read the 9/11 Commission Report.
Any culpability Clinton has for 9/11 is indirect, by appointing Louis Freeh to head the FBI. No government agency failed more to prevent 9/11 than the FBI did. Freeh, after being appointed by Clinton, directed a massive amount of the FBI's resources into trying to get evidence to impeach the man who appointed him, money that could have been better spent going after terrorists. FBI headquarters also ignored reports of Islamist extremist activity and reports of the actual hijackers coming in from FBI field office. Instead of blaming Clinton she should be blaming Freeh, who - as I stated - was hardly a loyal servant of his boss.
Keep in mind that Mary Phagan is probably just another incarnation of someone who was booted from this site. They joined in the end of April and their first post was in a thread about supporting the Confederacy and later about how they wish that the South would secede again. They are nothing but a KKK supporter pretending to be here to debate. THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!
The arguments would just have more credibility if Mary Phagan could actually formulate and punctuate a sentence, but unfortunately for the KKK, Mary Phagan seems to have flunked 4th grade English.
I stand corrected on the U.S.S Cole it was 2000,I got ahead of myself.I meant to stand trial for the first WTC attack which was Al Qaeda,yes Bin Laden had a hand in that.During the years 1996 -1998 Sudan was in talks with Clinton national security advisor Sandy Berger.Sudan offerded his arrest and extradiction to U.S but was turned down.During this time frame the U.S Embassy in Tanzania,the Embassy in Kenya was attacked by Al Qaeda,wounding 4,500.These attacks did happen prior and during these talks
The people involved in the 1993 Plot were caputred and tried within 5 years. Most of them within 1.
Quote:
The attack was planned by a group of conspirators including Ramzi Yousef, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Abdul Rahman Yasin and Ahmad Ajaj. They received financing from Khaled Shaikh Mohammed, Yousef's uncle. In March 1994, four men were convicted of carrying out the bombing: Abouhalima, Ajaj, Ayyad and Salameh. The charges included conspiracy, explosive destruction of property and interstate transportation of explosives. In November 1997, two more were convicted: Yousef, the mastermind behind the bombings, and Eyad Ismoil, who drove the truck carrying the bomb.

You have no idea do you.The mastermind of the 1993 attack Kahalid Sheikh Mohammed went on and planned the WTC attack 2 and then went on and beheaded Daniel Pearl before the Bush admin. captured him.But with all the time you spend worrying about the south I can see how you easliy missed it.As far as the other statements you made.I won't even respond to your elementary mindset.You can take the "low" road.Your not the only one with a fascination about the south,but man it is eating you up.Do you hate us more than the actual terrorist
I think the point is, and what the GOP has found, pertains to the fact that if you appeal to the typical white Southerner then you're gonna lose most of the rest of the country.
Democrats prefer living where they are dependent on others. Republicans prefer living where they are independent of others.
That's kind of a chicken and egg statement, I think. It could easily be the other way around...the environment (urban vs. rural) you live in influences your politics.
Maybe the poorer states have a lack of good education and that's why they voted Bush twice and then thought McCain would be a good pres.
I'm in Boston and nobody here voted for McCain or Palin and this is a very educated, sophisticated part of the country.
or could it be that the red states put more energy into living a good life, spending time with family and working hard, and not on wealth, popularity standing, and other superficial stuff?

I believe the environment does strongly influence one's political decisions, and vice versa.
