The blue states are less dependant on the Federal Government.

I wonder how many of the conservative media sheep even know the truth?

The way they talk and act you would think the blue states are the only ones getting help from the federal government.

So the next time you hear a GOP official or supporter blast the Federal government.

They should be ask this question.

If they dislike the Feds so much why take the hand outs or help from Federal government? LOL

They are a bunch of frauds.

Gullible fools are media tools

I've said this before, I'll repeat for you...........................

I don't believe in the Red State,Blue State divide, other than it's a simplistic way to show results on election night, the Bluest Fairy or Reddest Red Neck state is actually a variation of purple.

Red state Blue state comparisons are one more way the Media strives to divide us by color.
Statistics are often used to manipulate reality.

IMO Disadvantaged people of every color and political flavor deserve a helping hand to survive.

Take a red crayon and a blue crayon, cut them appropriately to fit the percentage election results of any State below. Approximation is OK, no matter how you slice your crayon you will end up with a predominate purple State .

A few of the States below don't add up to 100% though they are close enough for crayon lessons.
When you finish reading the election results below, keep in mind most of us here on P&R are members of the United States of America,
United we stand divided we fall.

And, here's a red media outlet using the red conservatives as a tool! ;)

I know plenty of conservatives and Republicans that take great pride in being from a Red state, and have great contempt for those in Blue states!

Those conservatives are as partisan as you.

I'm moving hundreds of miles per hour where I am, standing still, if I take off and land in Canada I'll slow down . If I go to Texas I'll be moving faster standing still.
Does that mean all Canadians are slow and all Texans are fast ? Not necessarily so.

Circular logic works because logic that is circular never ends, depending on your frame of reference, therefore there is a fallacy often found in circular logic.

Tell me something new.
I already knew the Earth is spinning to the right,or left, depending where you're standing when you're looking up or down .

The point I was making to the OP, IMO we are a Purple Nation unless you're a partisan with blinders on and colored straws.

I'll be back tomorrow to give you another lesson, time to tune in my Britain news to see if they are turning more red or blue like you.

I'm betting they continue with their Purple trend.

For those prefer their data collated and colorized. . . .

Even the extremes aren't close to blue or red

I'm glad you and Quad found each other!

Perhaps your parents can set up a play-date for both of you to get together. Hopefully, you both can get past parallel play to interactive play!

Thank you Professor! A picture is worth a thousand words !

Since I have never been trained in the art of teaching those who don't listen or have difficulties understanding reason, I often have a problem with slow students.

Perhaps the OP can relate to colors in front of his face ?

I suspect if your collated and colorized data is copied into their coloring books, with their own crayons, the OP and other dyed in blue partisans, like matt, or red, like nuguy, will continue to draw a bright red and vivid blue divide.

Perhaps you and Ed can get someone to kick in and...

purchase a big box of crayons. You both have to promise to share, and not fight over them.

This color issue you both bring up it is just a way to deflect from the point regarding the hypocrisy many conservatives demonstrate when it comes to government handouts vs. pulling your own weight!
