ken98k Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I took advantage of early voting today because work may be sending me to the boonies soon. The trouble is the early votes don't get counted until after the election. Many of us here a hoping to rid ourselves of rino lisa murkowski. she was o-holes go-to girl and now she's brandons lover. I'd personally be happy if she was in a plane crash. As much as people claim to hate her this is a socialist state. Various branches of goberment and the university system employ large numbers of the population and they all love her, the rest just aint to bright.

I wonder who decided to label the conservatives red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 It goes back to TV news shows in the 80's or early 90's, if I recall. The networks would paint states on a map a color depending on who won the vote in the presidential election. Different networks used different colors. One of the networks started painting the states red or blue. They chose red for Republicans. My theory is that if they chose red for Dems, it would further the believe that they were all commies. That color combination stuck and they all took it. That's all from my observations, not any sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Republican used to be blue, but somehow it got flipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShooterTom Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 I remember Republicans being blue as well. I think when George W Bush was elected the first time Republicans were blue then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
