Why do bigoted people like you care where people move to? Are you afraid?

I bring many skills to the workforce, and my recent move has benefited the state that I moved to.
Exactly !! yet he wants to act like he wasn't being bigoted or rude with this question.

typical leftist tactic. they can't answer the question, or they don't like the answer. so they swarm the thread and hijack it in an attempted to get it closed. silence the opposition. silence those who question.

Charlotte, I fear, will be another NY/NJ bedroom community in 10 years with the mindset of how people are voting now.
A few years ago one could have a 3500sf house for $2K in taxes, now that is $4K in taxes.
Soon that will be $10K in taxes, just like the area they fled...
Thank-You...

jamarquise - Umm moving to red states helps their economy. Red states also have the highest illiteracy rates - Alabama, Miss, Lou, and Texas - and its not a coincidence that the less education one has the more likely you are to vote GOP.

Look at the Gallup polls from the last and this election. If you didn't graduate from high school you were 2-1 for Bush and so far 3-2 for McCain.

Perhaps you'd like it if the Blacks were still slaves and couldn't vote.

I dismissed you many, many posts ago. You can't even answer a simple question. I didn't ask about VA, SC, GA. I don't know anyone moving to those states. I ASKED WHY YOU THINK NC IS RED. Simple question

you would think they would be smart enough to vote libertarian or other 3rd party. as for the rest of your race baiting post:

Yeah! Damn them lib'rals! They keep telling us to get off the thread and that we are dismissed! How dare they try to silence us like that!

There's an amateur here, to be sure, and I think he is projecting what he dislikes in himself onto others.

Are you that frightened that Obama will win? Are you that bigoted? Are you that stupid? All valid questions.
The Democrats holding higher office in NC are not exactly Pelosi, Reid, and the like. They tend to be blue dog conservative Democrats.
