Yes, I'm evil this morning. And disgusted with shrill Republicans.

1. Now that's just silly
Because I live in a Blue State, and I don't want any punishment if * pulls this out.

15. If you live in a Blue State
Your state was well-punished the first time around. Take a look at the map that shows where Federal funds are going. In a word, South.

3. We don't
They're fellow Americans with their own beliefs, that's all.

4. Kill them with kindness.
Make their lives better, and make clear it only got better because there's a Liberal in the White House.

They'll kill themselves.

6. hehe ...
I agree that we continue to extend our fellowship as Americans ... but ...

My idea is that we do a Hitchhiker's Guide on them:

We tell them that scientists have agreed that the World is going to end soon. Make up any catastrophe you want. Then, build one huge, space ark.

Tell them, because they are brave and very important, they get to go first and the rest of the World will follow in various arks. We can say we will meet up with them on some other planet out in deep space.

Launch them and wave!

8. Thanks, General Sherman.
I don't want my relatives burned out of their homes just because all they have time to do is watch maybe 2 or 3 hours of network television a week.

Most people down here are good, honorable, decent folks. They just have no clue as to what's being done in their name, using the values that they use every day to success in their small, closed communities.

I know you're joking, but most of my neighbors think Kerry is going to come and take their bibles and guns away, and force them all to have abortions, right after they have to have a same-sex marriage.

If you talk to them about what they want out of programs, they want health care, veteran's benefits, head start, good schools, roads, water, sewer, all payed for by the Feds. Moore is right....we're socialist, but we dare not speak it by name.

Personal issues are King down here, and I'm not sure how to fight it.

12. Have President Kerry let it be known that any lobbyist that employs...
A Republican, even as receptionist, will have no chance to brief a single democrat, much less have any effect. Zero access.

That will pummel the welfare-queen red states.
