    Default Red vs Blue States

    Perhaps it's time to step back and take a look at the individuals who vote. We frequently hear condemnation of one party or the other forgetting that people, individual decent human beings, make up and vote for these parties so the question is, "Who are those individuals?" Are they "bad" people or just misguided? Following is an example specifically directed to the Democrats why they should consider individuals who live in Red voting states. North Dakota has voted Repub in the last four Federal Elections so let's take a look at the average North Dakotian.

As she states, "Honestly, I had no clue these signs were for us." and this brings us back to what I have been saying which is Repubs tend to not think things through.



    An educated, employed, well-spoken lady not realizing her thinking was skewed. Or, more to the point, not thinking, and therein lies the problem. The same that can be said concerning your "tourist" remark as a person who has lived their entire life in one place is not a tourist in that place anymore than the deer crossing sign was placed there to direct deers.

    You replied to a post dealing with contorted thinking with erring thinking of your own. Very much similar to Republican thinking concerning ObamaCare. Skewed thinking that ObamaCare is going to be unaffordable followed by people thinking that healing the sick will bankrupt the country and it's better to let people die to the tune of 45,000 yearly. I suppose ones twisted thinking could result in them concluding the prevention of 45,000 deaths yearly could have an impact on jobs pertaining to undertakers and funeral directors and assorted others concerned with the death industry.

    As is painfully evident the lady in the video is not a rare exception.

    Thank-you for your post.

    but that would make you a Republican....because you missed the obvious truth that even states that predictably vote Republican need their ignorant minority Democrat bimbos.......

    really? sort of like how libs didn't think things through by making gun free zones assuming nobody with criminal intent would abide by not bringing a gun in to the zone?
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    We need a lot of Republican-Democrat voter crossing signs. Now that's something I may not have a problem with paying taxes on.

    Holy prole... 'i just don't know why Minnesota and North Dakota would allow these deer crossings in such high traffic areas'... seriously? It saddens me that there are this many stupid people in the world.

    Just curious... do you think everyone in a blue state votes Dem and everyone in a red state votes Rep?

    I think some of our Red State friend are still trying to figure this out.


    Just move the sign, right...

    More like preventing atrocities committed by responsible, law-abiding citizens who suddenly snap. Compare the number of mass shootings by known criminals to those committed by "he was just a quiet guy who kept to himself" type individuals.

    Not everyone but it's reasonable to conclude a person is more likely to vote a certain way depending on where they live especially when a state has voted a certain way for the last four elections.

    so you're saying that it's way more important to prevent atrocities committed by responsible, law-abiding citizens who MIGHT snap, than it is to worry about people intent on killing as many people as possible because nobody else would have a gun?
