Another whining rant from a gay metrosexual that demonstrates the paradigm shift that the RATs must accomplish before they can begin winning national elections.

Sorry if already posted, but it didn't show up in the search I did.

Add to that, Carole Simpson of ABC news staff, and a wholly disinterested voice, comparing the Confederate States of America with the Michael Moore Jesusland map, and how they surprisingly broke almost the same as the US red-blue map.

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
Which states are red, and which are blue is decided by alternating the color of the incumbant's party every 4 years. Because of the way elections went, it just so happened that Republicans were blue (last time they were red was Ford vs. Carter), until the last two elections. In four years, Republicans should be blue again.

That is unless the media has so entrenched "red states" vs. "blue states". I suspect they will keep the tradition of switching.

Not only is this loser a militant sodomite, but he's the same guy who signed up as a volunteer with the Bauer campaign in Iowa in 2000 and spent his spare time licking doorknobs, phones and keyboards at the headquarters trying to spread the case of flu he came down with.

This by his own admission.

Citizens of the Urban Archipelago reject heartland "values" like xenophobia, sexism, racism, and homophobia, as well as the more intolerant strains of Christianity that have taken root in this country.

Nothing warms my heart like the tolerant left. The way they embrace diversity is inspiring.

"not blue states. They are blue cities."

I'd like to see a breakdown as to which of these cities are, (A) run by democrats, and (B) are in financial crisis.

We live on islands of sanity, liberalism, and compassion

Crack dealing, whores, and homicides.

Why it's a veritable Utopia!

Haha, what a rant! These losers are melting down faster than Chernobyl!

First off, the rather liberal use of the "F*** off" phrase tells me all I need to know about their basic spiritual values.

Second, it would be fantastic if urban whiners would shut up and quit trying to meddle in the environment.

Pollution? Big cities are swimming in it, and big cities are the primary generators of it. They need to take a look in the mirror.

Power? From where? I imagine a big wrestler holding some weenie's arm behind their back, twisting it near off, making the person confess. "SAY IT! SAY IT! OIL!!!!", well, that is, unless they want to go nuclear... They want urban, they can park that reactor right in the middle of their big ol' cities.

The urban slum, piled up with bodies of people who complain about "the man", crime-ridden stinking fetid pools of humanity, is an environment of the liberal's making!

The reds and blues, by county, presents a very interesting view.

You all keep the cities; we'll start digging the moats.

The blue urban islands of his archipelago get all of their food, water, and energy from red areas.

Oh, they could import food from overseas, Canada, Cuba, Brazil, but the cost would be terrible.

If he really feels that it is OK for a red state kid to blow his brains out so he won't vote wrong, his feelings may change if the food trucks stopped rolling into his island of perfection, or if the rural people took their water back.

John Kerry won every city with a population above 500,000.

Every Republican who values this country had better know that the environmental laws that are driving landowners off their property and back into cities play a key role in consolidating the power of the left.

"F.. the mountains in West Virginia--send us the power generated by cleanly burned coal, you rubes, and be sure to wear lifejackets to bed."
But why send them anything? By turning that guy's argument on him, let them stew in their own juices.

To the extent that a loony bird like this should even be answered, it would not seem to make much demographic sense to build a party based on urban centers. Most of them have declining populations, and if the Dems actually were foolish enough to embrace such an approach, they would be sentencing themselves to perpetual minority status. But it is pleasant to reflect that they have been driven to such extremes, and that unstable people like Savage have been sitting in their attics for two weeks now, curled up into balls, trying to make sense of it all.

Those maps show Christian Conservatives live in the South and tend to vote for conservative politicians. That's it.

The Left tried the racist/slavery angle in 2004 and it didn't stick.

We will pass laws mandating a living wage for full-time work, upping the minimum wage for part-time work, and requiring large corporations to either offer health benefits or pay into state- or city-run funds to provide health care for uninsured workers.

Great, we look forward to all the over-taxed businesses moving to those red states, leaving sick sorry @holes like this one without a job. Oh, btw dumb @ss, you don't want to do business with us, then starve, since we control the food supply - eat concrete dust.

Liberals are so pathologically self-righteous that it is abjectly, stupefyingly obtuse to hear about it one more time.
