Speaking for myself only, McCain lost me when he took stay the course mentality avoiding earnest criticism of neo con BS. Palin was the exclaimation point of hell no. Nasty campaign tricks made me rethink every republican on the whole ballot (not just presidential). This last election was the first time in my life I ever considered voting 100% down a party line. I was tempted but didn't.
Lesser of two evils... what's the difference between a fiscal liberal and a fiscal liberal when you're fiscal conservative???! Mark my words, the next election both in 2 party system will be running fiscal conservative programs competing with one another over the same issue. They'll distinguish themselves by who can do the most painless yet deepest cuts of the budgets. Either that or shuffle the shell game around yet again and pass the buck to st elsewhere as per usual.
Wheres your link???or are we suppose to take your word for it? Anyway maybe if the red states paid their fair share in federal taxes the whole country would be in better shape.
I can tell you why Idaho Falls is on the list. The DOE's Idaho National Laboratory. It's responsible for well over half the employment here, and it's well-funded (environmental cleanup and new energy research).
I suspect that's a clue as to why the "red" cities are on the list. Everyone knows that red states get more in federal dollars than they pay in taxes. Definitely true for Idaho in general, and Idaho Falls specifically.
This is showing job loses and guess what? Big cities lose more jobs in recessions just like they gain more jobs when the economy is growing. They simply have more jobs because they have more people so, yes, a smaller town will lose fewer jobs but it will also gain fewer jobs and have less economic opportunities over all.
Dallas and Houston are bigger (and better) than most of the cities on his list so your argument is invalid
you don't understand that? cities with a large minority population always vote for the democrats because they believe that democrats will have more free services. california is viewed as the most liberal state in the US, but because of large opposition by latinos, they passed prop 8.
Give me a break, I can never take you seriously again after such an ignorant post.
