I'm tired of living in Red states. |
|
I grew up in Utah, moved to Nebraska for grad school and now live in Kentucky. Just once I would like my vote for a Democratic candidate to count. We did almost put Mongiardo into the Senate this year but that crazy fuck Bunning somehow got ahead.

We have a few states that are only light blue and could use some more dem. voters.

5. I agree ... I think we should have a movement to take over red states |
|
Texas has a lot of electoral votes ... We need a movement to the red to take back those states.

8. Nah, move to the blue states |
|
And bump up their EV totals. Let's get Washington and Oregon up around 20 each.

7. If you think Redleg means "artilleryman" you might be correct. |
|
I am a bit rusty though. Been out for a while.

That's what I did.
I was born in Missouri and lived there when it was still more blue than red, then my family moved to the bible belt when I was in my teens.
But finally, when I decided to go to law school I escaped to California.
I never plan on living in a Red State again.

12. Wait a minute here! You moved from Missouri TO the Bible belt? |
|
Missouri has been in the Bible belt as long as there has been a Bible belt.

Then when they all wake up in the morning they'll think it was all a dream.

I felt bad too but now NH is a blue state! Give us our due respect!
Its a real shame that the Democratic Senatorial campaign didn't see that Bunning was crazy. We need to keep joining groups like Democracy for America to see these openings before they happen.

17. Come on up to Illinois |
|
The "republican" party, which is such a misnomer so I'll say what passes for the "r" party in IL is dying. We have the gov mansion, house and senate, kicked Keyes ASS, booted out Crane, and have film, print, and still pictures of Hastert and Manzucko waddling around for Crane and Keyes. The Chicago Tribune has another good article on the pathetic state of the r's and Keyes is thinking about staying here to help "re-energize" the party. I say STAY and keep running your mouth. Another r-thorn, Hyde, only won by 26K votes. If anyone has a suggestion for a candidate to run against Manzullo by all means speak up.
capitolfax.com - What a moron, if it wasn't for Chicago and Cook County, there'd be no state at all - we'd be part of the surrounding states:
.....As this map clearly shows, if it wasn't for Chicago and suburban Cook County, Illinois would be a very red state indeed. ... poll results for Illinois. posted by Rich Miller @ 11/2/2004

The Idiot Son of an Asshole has a 20% approval rating here and the City went for Kerry about 83-17.
