If you'd paid attention to what I've written over the years, I've said MANY times that while red states DO generally have higher rates of divorce, poverty, teenage pregnancy, welfare, food stamps, homicides, and violent crimes...and while they DO have generally have lower rates of educational attainment and health care coverage and life expectancy, I've ALSO said many times that this is not due to red/blue governance.
Think on that - red states are worse off on SO many metrics...but I'm saying it's not the conservatives' fault. If I were as "ultra-partisan" as you want so badly to believe, why would I say that? Care to answer?
you cannot.. i repeat.. you cannot.. delineate red and blue states and then states "it's not because of red/blue governance"
your very delineation is inherently about red/ blue governance.
it's like delineating between states run by men and women.. and then trying to pretend you're not talking about gender when called on it.
I don't want to believe you are an ultrapartisan... it's just a matter of objective reality... you very much are.
in any event, your "argument" was debunked by facts...so, carry on
