Red Blue Road Trip - Frisco, CO - Oct 25 - Part 8

Back


Frisco is a resort community an hour outside of Denver filled with enormous vacation homes and a transient community of young people drawn to the area by the hiking, snowboarding and skiing available in the surrounding mountains. Secondary residences make up two-thirds of the housing stock, keeping affordable housing out of reach for much of the local community. This includes much of the rapidly expanding Mexican immigrant population employed to construct the mansions. Registrations are split closely between Democrats and Republicans, but the largest percentage of voters are unaffiliated.

I like the last guy, "the survival of mankind", AND "I know he is".

The last guy is 'my kind of people'.

These videos from Aljazeera are great. Looking at a lot of the US coverage, you'd be forgiven for thinking all voters are either slack jawed, racist, foetus lovin' Palinites, or robotic Obama supporting drones.

The truth is, most people are pretty measured, pretty thoughtful, and philosophical.

(BTW isn't Aljazeera the TV company Bush almost bombed? Lol!)

I would love to believe you, but I am an american. I know better. we are an impetuous, ignorant, clueless population (the previous generalization encompasses 88% of the american population.... i know, I've spoken with every single one :)

Thanks Al Jazeera, I really like your "Red Blue Road Trip" videos! All the time you see politicians or other experts talking about politics, so this is a really nice change to see what people have to say about their reasons to vote for either one of the candidates.

"Women are more emotional than men." LMAO. It's true to some extent biologically but WTF? The reason Palin would make a crap president is her lack of experience and crap policies, not her gender. o.0

And: The survival of mankind. AWESOME. xD
