Well I've done a search of the posts here at FreeRepublic to see if this has been posted already and I found nothing, so I want to put it up for everyone to see.
Take a look at the map of the U.S. showing which counties returned a majority for Bush this past Tuesday:
I think this puts a real exclamation point on the Bush victory. There is more to the Bush margin than votes alone, not that the 51% - 48% split is insignificant by any means. There is also geography. What does this map show? It looks to me like Bush carried counties whose total geographical area accounts for 85% or more of the total land mass of the continental United States.
I always liked geography.
Thanks
Have you found any that are by Congressional districts?
Can someone explain to me two areas:
1. Blue part of Northern Arizona.
2. The Blue streak across Alabama into Miss.
They have other reasons --- but filling this country up with cities the size of Mexico cities with government dependent types isn't going to have happy consequences. We're already on the edge of having complete government takeover of healthcare --- especially with irresponsible foreigners moving in who don't buy their own health insurance but instead expect the government to do it all for them.
The blue streak of Alabama is the old "black belt," essentially a large rural ghetto.
Right, if you compare this map with map of 2000 election however current map shows cancer is in remission.
These map are very misleading, because its not square miles that vote but PEOPLE. What these maps do show is that our problems are in the cities, its like a bunch of Fallujahs all over America. Like Tumors. Take out Detriot and we win Michigan. Take out Philly and we win Pa......
Thanks, Jeff; I read it while looking around your page here at FR. Time to take back the country, eh?! Put those envirowhackos out of their misery.
Actually rural states recieve the most in government subsidies. Blue states tend to give back more than they recieve in federal taxes, mostly because of higher incomes. http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxingspending.html (a conservative, anti-tax org)
If we are going to maintain a lasting majority we need to build our claims on facts, not conjecture.
Thanks for the ping!
The Rats continue to try and say this country is split right down the middle...lookin' at this map tells a completely different story. And I might add, when you own the WH, Senate, House and almost every governorship throughout America...that's NO split.
However, if the dems want to continue to be delusional, I say LET THEM. That delusional thinking will cost them dearly...like NEVER winning a major election AGAIN. ;o)
