Why are the REPUBLICAN states the "RED
STATES"? Nobody remembers when the
Republicans chanted "Better dead than red!"?
Very off-topic I know but this has always puzzelled me? Here in New Zealand
our main conservative party is associated with BLUE and our more left wing
Labour party with RED. Same in the UK I believe. In the US it seems to be
the other way around. Socialism is often associated with red in a political
sense so how an earth did RED get associated with the American Republican
party??
