Why there could be a silver lining in a failed climate treaty.
From John Edwards to Mark Sanford, the decade's memorable affairs.
This article was very fascinating. I especially like your comments about how little thought people give to the area where they want to live. They sometimes just go there wherever they choose with very little thought as to whether it is a good place for their career.
Yeah we were lied to hard. Not just the social issues, but the rising tide lifts all boats thing, it just drowned most of us. I voted for Reagan twice. I haven't voted for an R since and never liked the Bushes. I did vote for Perot before becoming a Democrat like my mom. I agree that I was fooled.
I do not believe Arkansas will go red this time no matter who the D is.
The irony in all of this is that the red state voters want lower taxes- voting Republican- when, in fact, higher taxes help them because of the net transfers of tax dollars from blue to red states. If we voted soley on economics, blue states would vote Republican, and red states Democratic. So the Republicans have really pulleda a coup in getting red state voters to vote against their pocket book by focusing on social vs. economic issues.
