Question for everyone?
When I see bad weather or bad things happening in red states I'm actually cheering inside because I think they deserve it.Also in sports, if it's a red state team against a blue state team,I root for the blue team every time.This makes me a zealot doesn't it?

Try to find the blue in each red heart.

.
in this red state, don't forget to cheer, okay?

Oh, and also make sure you cheer when something great happens to a 'moran' in a blue state.

3. I can see the sports thing
but not the bad weather thing. I wouldn't wish anything bad on anyone's life. That's got to be bad karma or bad for your soul. Not to mention that it's just not very nice.

4. Boooooo
live in a red state... hometown U is a red and white school - but it houses the most liberal bastion of folks in the state and the professional sports team in the capital is in a county that went for Kerry (along with the county that contains the hometown). Your zealotry makes you root against the some of the blue parts of the red states... and the blue parts are what, hopefully in the near future (as bushco begins to decimate the gop), will fuel the flipping of some reds into blues.

6. May I suggest expanding your mind just a tweak!
I'm in a red state and worked very hard in the election!!! In fact I think we worked even harder and we came so close! Many people in blue states voted for Bush and contributed to the popular vote count. Instead of wishing ill will on red states, why not work harder in your blue state and be supportive and encouraging to dems in red states.

7. I vote yes for zealot.
We just got our power back on a bit ago thank-you-very-much.

What's worse than bad weather or a losing team? HOW ABOUT HAVING THE SHRUB AS OUR PRESIDENT? Guess we ***all*** must have been pretty bad if we deserved that. Are you still smirking?
