I give him a pat on the back for trying to figure out Red America.

But at the end of the story one thing missing from his analysis is the recognition of the total absurdity and falsehoods the Democrats try to put forth.

We all rememeber Algore and his nonsense. Kerry flip-flopping. Those in the Democratic party have no credibility.

I believe THAT is what drives many of us to vote Red.

You're right about the end of the article:

But I knew that if we set off and kept going, we'd meet up eventually with Blue America. In a tangible sense, even after this bitter election, something connected this land to that one, something more durable than fear and loathing, though it was beyond my view. An industry has been set up to convince us otherwise, but I'm here to tell you that a person can get from there to here, and here to there. Maybe next time, the Democrats might give it a try.

In that light, I looked again, and the world seemed to float off in every direction toward new beginnings and fresh possibilities.

"...new beginnings and fresh possibilities." He's talking here like a scout for the Rats.

THAT and lying cheating bubba getting it on with monica in the Oval Office. I voted for Clinton twice, which is why I'll never vote for another Dem and why I'm here to stay.
