The Republican party is master at passing out talking points that convince their base to vote against their own self interests and in favor of wealthy business interests. It has always completely astounded me, the blind following faith of the GOP base.

Of course, that base, the Tea Party - John Bircher - Evangelical wing, has kind of gotten out of control with the loss of the "moderate" Republican to Independence or temporary Democratic affiliation due to the horrors of Bush the Lesser and saying Sarah Palin could be President with a straight face.

But the GOP is trying to reign them in before 2012, as they know they don't have a chance with the cult crazies from Evangelical Land running for office and speaking in public.

The industrialized, highly-populated urban areas of the country are blue, and the rural, agricultural low-population areas are red.

The country is very divided.
