1. Living in Mississippi, the ultimate "gimme" state, I can attest that this is true

The willingness of the more affluent northeastern and far-western states to support the snarling, ignorant conservatives in the south has always amazed me. But it does no good to try to point this out to southerners. They just give you a blank stare (at best) or become angry and defensive (at worst).

2. As it turns out, in the North, we actually lost the Civil War.

To the victor goes the baggage.

3. everyone knows

all red states are debtor states. Yes we have to make this an issue. They have been a drag and parasites for far too long.

4. Their hero Ronald Wilson Reagan expanded the federal government, not shrank it.

It had over 200,000 more workers than the current POTUS. Remind them of that FIRST. And that was in the 80s! The GOP is for big government when they are in office, just remind them of GWB and his huge expansion of the Feds.

IOW the GOP lying is like checking to see if water is wet.

5. Yeah, I'd really like to know.
