I wonder why Republican areas are generally the poorest areas of the country.

Orange County, a prosperous county has been increasing turning blue since the defeat of Bob Dornan. Orange County would be a blue county if it weren’t for the 1/2 million Vietnamese immigrants who are largely poor, on welfare, but vote Republican out of anti-communism.

In 2008, Orange County was about 38,000 votes short of turning blue.

Funny…I don’t think most fly over states are ‘poor’, just ‘hard working’. I’ll take country folk any day over the inner city.

Only in Amerika do ‘poor people’ have flat screen tv’s and SUV’s and are so over fed that there is an obesity crisis.
