But you live in a red state...

Oh yes it is true. Get an education and look at the election map. All states are purple. No state is blue or red. Take for instance New Hampshire it was 52.2% Obama and 46,4 Romney hardly all blue. Connecticut 58.4% Obama and 40.4% Romney, again hardly all blue. Maine 56.0 Obama and 40.9 Romney need I go on??????

Maybe it's just me.

But over the past week and a half, I haven't seen many happy smiling right wing posts.

Ah, so when you wrote, "Keep talking," you were actually telling the board to keep talking to "make your point?"

Did you happen to read a past statement of mine about right-wingers being pathologically incapable of being "candid?"

Come back and talk to me when you reach maturity. It is impossible to have an adult conversation with a minor.

Wait, are you addressing this to the entire forum again, or is this one addressed specifically to me?

I imagine road trips are a nightmare for liberals.
It's not "scary", but it's clearly something that I dread. Oddly, I don't feel that way about Texas since they are "my people". But I wouldn't feel the same way about driving through the Deep south.

You're problem is you're bad at math. You start from a very low base and then even small increases look big as a percentage but the absolute numbers remain small.

You need to go back to school, son, because you're talking without understanding.

These are the same fools who are uneducated because their masters wanted them dumbed down.
They come from the same fools that claim their economic strategy is Gods word and yet their red states are the largest welfare recipients.
