Is this the political map of the future?

I agree that the colors should be switched. Throughout most of the world, blue represents the right and red represents the left.

It used to be the other way around. I think it changed with the first Clinton election. But, I don't know why.

Most people think it was a news network that did it and everyone else just followed along.

True. I could live with that.

In my defense, I did say "if we find ourselves at war".

I am not eager to go to war with them, but if they won't leave us alone, or if THEY start it...

Sure does give new meaning to the word “spike”...

All the major urban areas of Texas are still trending liberal...They were trying hard to turn the whole state “blue”...

Spent a ton of money...Glad it failed, and they wasted that cashola...

Just wait till the amnesty thing gets thru...That will tip the balance for sure...

You’ll never see another conservative president in the WH after that...

Yes, the major TV networks changed the colors on cue for either the 1996 or the 2000 election, iirc. It's not a big point from a practical standpoint, but the political implications are huge:

• MSM are players and are "on team"
• Symbolism of the colors shows sensitivity (and mens rea) among MSM bonzes w/r/t descriptors like "Red" and "Pink" being used about their favorite Marxist-Leninist party
• Colors reveal both team play and Journolisting.

What kills me is Rush and other radio people screaming (it's true) that "this is the BALL GAME!!" ...... and the MSM sitting on their faces on the issue and laughing up their sleeves.

If by any chance a conservative gets into the White House, I want him to get out his "now that's a knoife!" knife -- I incline toward Arkansas toothpick, myself, since it was Slick's State that he bamboozled for years while dishonoring their women -- and just go after the MSM's licenses, finances, taxes, and everything, and just rip them up the middle like a meatpacker in a dressing race, and tell everybody what he's doing and why ....... "Got a prollem wid dat?"

Let's see how they like sauce for the gander.

I want to see Katie "Choo Choo" Couric living in a box.
