Alrighty, when you mix Red & Blue you get the color PURPLE. Purple is a very beautiful lush color, however, purple is also associated with royalty, the very thing our forefathers ran from to make a more perfect union a more red & blue union. But we do have purple mountains majesty, purple hazes and our own sort of purple royalty. So what I'm saying is that the color Red is pink without the white, and blue is the color of balls that have poor circulation. Mix these and you get purple, the color of the alcoholic's nose. Are ya following me here? Okay, let me clear it up for ya, red states and blue states make us what we are as a country, we are purple.
Also note that "there's not a liberal America and a conservative America-there's the United States of America." and mix all the colors that make us what we are, we are purple, E Pluribus Unum.
