Obama's Mandate

The actual context...absolutely. Obama thinking he (or the government) had anything to do with someone getting up every single day, going to work, using all of their own money (and sometimes borrowing more) to try and build a dream is not someone else building it for them.

You are cracking me up, jb.

This is the context.

You probably should have stopped with the map that looked mainly blue.

There is such a thing as being too clever for your own good.

oh wait, you are a socialist therefore have no intelligence

I'm not trying to be clever.

These are just different ways of looking at the information. I find it interesting. That's it.

I've long wondered why the Seante now and then manage to elect Independents, but the House haven't in at least a long time.

It just occurred to me that gerrymandering is probably the reason. Every district too skewed to a particular party.

"Independents" are just Democrats that don't like to be called that.

her daughter helped get that libertarian bullshit started, so fuck her.

She wouldn't have acted like that had she spent some time on the prairie like her ma.

I am starting to like you LillyO

As all my friends say to know me is to tolerate me.

He did say that no one created a business on their own.

He was talking about how things like interstates and public schools make business possible. You just took the lying Sean Hannity version as gospel without bothering to consider context. Go read the transcript.

That's really pretty...

It's what happens when the tent is so big that some start to wonder if the people on the other edge of it is even the same spieces.

And here's one that shows shades of red and blue based on how many people voted for each.

But, on that map, you can see the real picture clearly: The geographical-political divide in America today is not North vs. South, nor East vs. West, nor Coasts vs. Flyover; it is Countryside (Pub) vs. City (Dem). The map shades from red for the least-populous counties, through purple for the suburbs/exurbs, to blue for the dense urban areas.

And whenever a conflict comes down to Countryside vs. City, the Countryside usually loses and usually deserves to lose.

Borscht isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

This is the real picture as opposed to just showing red and blue.
