Thanks for posting this info about Federal handouts between various states based on Bush and Kerry loyalties. Again, we see some republicans living in a world of spin with little connection to reality. I am not saying that democrats, or people of any political persuasion, do not also exhibit this tendency to just repeat political spin with no research into the facts. But it seems the republicans as of late have become so ideological, and driven by blind faith, that they are embodying nearly cult like symptoms of detachment from the need to base their opinions on facts.<BR>
