The country is becoming increasingly red or blue. This is occurring because the red states are becoming such a better alternative to live in and the blue states are becoming so much more intolerant and intolerable. Just look at the change in electoral votes from the 2000 census. Every single changed vote went from a blue state to a red one. People are moving in droves to red states. But you can't say that about the blue states. Their only influx of residents are from third world countries.

People are voting with their feet and moving into states that better fit their ideology, tax rate preferences and quality of life. Why do you think that Nevada, Colorado, Georgia and Texas are some of the fastest growing states? And why are those states becoming increasingly red? Because the people leaving those blue states can no longer tolerate being treated like an alien in their own communities - often communities which they were born in.

I see this hundreds of times a year with GOP voters who don't want to waste their vote in the Peoples Republic of California (Arnold or not). They don't want to pay for the largess of liberal idiots and they don't wan't a city or county where criminals have more rights than they do.

Just like people self-segregated themselves by race in the past generation in big cities across america, those of us to the right of Dan Rather have more continually segregating ourselves to states that look and sound more like ourselves.
