And most tax revenue comes from blue states, as Six rhetorically said.

So then, what is your point Nuke?

my point? I was hoping to inquire his point.

Most tax revenues come from blue states? What is your point?

What is a blue state?

It's kind of endearing, but nevermind...

Six said "Where do more federal tax revenues come from, red or blue?"

(blue)

As an answer to that, you said "Where did more votes come from?"

(red)

As if the answer to your question would be an answer to Six's.

But it's the complete opposite of any point I should think you would want to make.

(Blue states are carrying the red state's sorry arses, yet the red states get to pick the prez).

So what was your point?

Yeah, red states "get" to pick the prez.... as if no other Americans had a chance to "pick" the Prez.

Sorry Nash, but you be a dumb arse.

No, he merely repeated something I said in the very first post in this thread.

You seemed to want to rebutt that by saying "Well, who cares how much more the blue states pay, because the red states won the election".

Which doesn't add up to a single thing, other than demonstrating that the notion of the divide I'm talking about is sinking in with you. You're only saying "I get it, and here's how."

I'm kind of tired, though, of talking about the ingredients (disputable though they may be)  that make up the divide. Only what the divide portends. But, christ I do know, that it's silly of me.

Nash , you said "Blue states are carrying the red state's sorry arses, yet the red states get to pick the prez"

That makes no sense.

America decides the Presidency and America decided. Live with it.

My point is quite clear Nuke, but it seems you refuse or don't want to see it. If red outnumbers blue by so much, then blue must be producing a hell of alot of tax revenue if it indeed does produce more. Even if it is close to even, it still must produce alot of tax revenue.

But my point goes a little deeper. It goes into this "liberal" media farce. The truth is conservative media is everywhere. The Limbaughs and O'reillys are raking in millions. And through them, the republican or "red" party has gained total control of the "blue" tax base. Not bad huh?

I hear Bush say he has earned poitical capital and he intends to spend it(he likes spending). I hope that spending does not turn into another trillion dollars worth of debt.
