That said, I live in a Blue state..

Exactly! This along with the thread about liberals being more educated just demonstrates how uppity many liberals are. What ever happened to tolerating diversity: Not everyone is going to have the same body shape as you, the same levels of education or the same political beliefs. Liberals need to get off their high horse and learn to get along with folks who differ from them.
