Red State - Blue state reminder


Just in case you've never seen the map of the 2004 presidential race by county.

As you can see, outside of a few isolated blocks in the Southwest, nearly all the country is red except for the various urban counties around the country.

While I don't have hard evidence handy, I believe most reasonable people can agree with the following comparison between the urban blue areas and the suburban/rural red areas.

The blue areas, in general, have higher taxes than the red areas
They have higher unemployment
They have more crime
They have poor quality schools
They have higher homeless populations

Blue areas are predominately governed by Democrats
Red areas are predominately governed by the GOP.

Remind me why we should vote for democratic policies?

Because the Republican Party is controlled by crooks. Why don't you put up the Ohio red/blue counties from the 2006 election?

What? Your non sequitor probably explains why you are a democrat.
