- This is simple economics. Red states, low unemployment, lower taxes and conservative control.
Blue states, higher unemployment, higher taxes, liberal control.

1) Most (if not all) red states benefit from welfare. Tax dollars are taken from the more successful economies of the blue states and funneled to the red in the form of federal spending.
2) Generally, the blue states have been more populace so it would stand to reason they would have more people unemployed.
3) the majority of large business is centered in Blue states, and when those businesses suffer or offshore it is going to impact the blue state to a greater extent. - Reply to this comment

- How did conservative states become red and liberal states become blue. Traditionally red has been the color of the left e.g. Red China, Communist Russia and the UK labor party; while blue is traditionally conservative e.g. the British conservative party etc.

- If the republicans love this country as mush as they claim, they would not resort to smear tactics like this which is highly combustible. This shows that the McCain motto, "Country First" means nothing. He is trying to win an election in the most unhonorable way which is number one, dangerous, and number 2, divisive as the democratic party will not take this laying down. Then we would have partisan politics again and ultimately, nothing would get done to benefit the people because the tone of Washington would remain the same.

Sure. If anyone at an Obama rally called for Killing McCain, I think we''d have heard about it ad nauseum.

- daniellemom is RIGHT ON!
What do Ohio, Penn, Mich have in common? Devestated economies, plunging housing market, and Democrat Governors. What do Texas, Florida, Louisianna (after they dumped Gov. Blanco), and the south have in common? Booming economies, low unemployment, and Republican Governors.
Basically the Republican controlled states give tax breaks to big businesses and corporations...which then locate there and HIRE THE CITIZENS OF THE STATE!!
My friend in Texas sold his 200sq.ft. house this summer for $160K...and turned a PROFIT! I lived there for 25 years as a teacher. I have 3 kids. I owned a house. My wife was a stay-at-home mom. Now I live in the north and can barely survive. That same home up here would cost $300K and wind up as a second home for some rich NYCity slicker.
Anyone who can''t see these statements as FACTS can''t smell the Sh*t their sittin in.... - Reply to this comment
- Hey gingersnap19, I like your idea. I think Palin should sue Obama and the DBC for not stopping their supporters from waliking around with their vile and obscene t-shirts about her. Wake up, both sides are preaching hate!
