CAN WE PLEASE STOP USING THE LIBERAL TERMS “RED” AND “BLUE” FOR CONSERVATIVE/LIBERAL?

It was in Al Gore’s election that they switched- GOP used to always be BLUE. The commie’s were always RED.

Lets stop using their terms. I do not like referring to Conservative states as ‘red states’

The term ‘purple’ (for mixed) is still OK, feel free to continue to use that.

I never liked it either. They’re the reds they should be proud of it. Too late now though. Eric Erickson would have to change the name of his blog.

I agree. How we let this happened, I don't know (I remember seeing this happen in the early 90's); but we should put a stop to us being labeled red by Liberals.
