That's an excellent tool for understanding a lot about what our country is all about. You can quickly see the counties won by Bush in '04, to McCain in '08, to Romney in '12, and there isn't a whole lot of change in counties won.Originally Posted by mjg407
The voices in our major cities make all the difference, yet they encompass just a fraction of our land area. If you only look at the land area that the GOP dominates. they would win in a landslide.
...well, I'm red and live in blue, blue, blue Chicago, Illinois. You know what? My votes haven't amounted to ****.
besides that, what this Nation needs is Politicians who actually give a damn about WE THE PEOPLE and not the almighty dollars...but yeah, that will never happen.

I've suggested a well placed nuclear weapon in D.C. while they are in session... and let's start all over again. Totally clean house. It's our only hope.
Then again, when you truly think hard about the intelligence of the people, it's awfully depressing.
History repeats itself. Our fall is inevitable, and it's been at the hands of our incompetent, narcissistic (deadly combination of traits) a-holes, that ignoramus' keep empowering.
Phew, a mouthful.
Ha... I think a lot like you Zim we need a house cleaning....Hell of it is our law makers are the well off of this country.. I find it hard to believe they are going to do anything that is not in THEIR best interest......like raise taxes on themselves or businesses that they are invested in....etc.....Pretty sad but that's the way I see it... these same people hand pick our choices every 4 years someone who's aligned with their thinking or soe pretty boy....not necessarily someone who cares about getting things right for all Americans.....I see it like this... there are a lot things that can be done to fix whats wrong.. but the will to do so has to be there...# 1 they need to work together and I believe over time it would all come together.......jmho......ah well ...sorry for the rant
Right, B... somewhere along the line they need to work together, for the country's good. They've got enough for themselves... retirement for life after 1 term, primo med benefits that the common man can't get. Junket vacations for free. When will they be satisfied and work for us? These days they automatically oppose anything proposed by the other party. It's ludicrous.
The fact is, ole Mitt was right when he said 47%, and that number will continue to grow, and I don't see how a Red candidate can win. Everyone wants a free ride no matter what the consequences.

Well getting back on "topic," all we can do is our best to provide for our Families, raise our children with ethics and morals as we know them to be AND not teach them to pander to every special-interest group that comes along.

a grounded bird is prey for our Enemies.
the People have "chosen," we must move forward for our Families sakes...
