Now, before anyone goes flying off the handle, I'm well aware that there are lots and lots of Democrats in the red states and lots and lots of Republicans in the blue. And yes, you could pull up an election map from a few or twenty years ago that completely screws this comparison.
But this comparison is only about this year. And for this year, this does mean something. The attitudes that are prevalent among many Bush supporters are, in my opinion, not far off from the attitudes of pro-slavery people back then. The same arguments pop up all the time, when it comes to gay marriage in particular.
And as for the little voices of Democrats crying out from down there, yearning to be heard. I hear ya. But you're way outnumbered.
