Oh but you give them too much credit IMO, they'll blame it on the Clintons, Hugo Chavez, world socialism, lack of free trade and unions. They never learn.
Jeez, I can't believe I have sunken so low to have to respond to this garbage. Dddooo, I know we have discussed this before, but there is no such thing as a red or blue state. In 1984, Reagan carried 49 out of the 50 states. That made the entire country Red no? And William Jefferson Clinton I believe carried 45 of the 50 states in the 1996. That made 90% of the country blue no? In 2008, it's very possible that John McCain will carry 47 to 49 states making the entire country red again. What the hell is the point to this childish exercise except demonstrating your shortcomings of a byproduct of our lousy public school system?
Red staters are still trying to people what fine clothes GW is wearing...... <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=988147>
Actually you do have a point, Bush's job approval rating is below 50% in 43 states, including his native Texas: http://www.surveyusa.com/50State2006/50StateBushApproval060216Net.htm
Mav, why is there a need to call his comments "childish?" Are you really playing adult here? I thought you were above unprovoked flaming.....
So why then do you keep going with this BS charade about blue and red states? We live in a purple country with different shades of blue and red and they change every election year. I swear to God, of all the arguments I hear from the left, this state color bs really takes the cake. Stop drinking the Kool Aid!
Why is me calling his comments childish flaming? I really don't think it is. Any comment that leans on color coding in my opinion is pretty childish. There are plenty of smart people on this forum that should be able to make a comment without getting out a map and filling in the state colors with red and blue crayons. Yeah, I believe it's childish, not flaming.
Yes Mav, it is flaming and unnecessary ad hominem. You know that..... If your position is "smarter" there is no need to call his position "childish." You know that too..... I only bring this up because you have claimed in the chat room that you don't flame unless provoked....or something to that effect.
I still don't understand how a guy whose primary argument centers around color coding is not childish? Isn't this how we use to make arguments in Kindergarden? I stand by what I said, his comments were childish. Dddooo is smarter then that and he is capable of articulating himself better then having to revert to I'm Blue and you're red. Like John Stossel says, give me a break!
