My new mantra: I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

[MallRat]

Starting today, and effective until January 20, 2009, every time something bad happens to a red city in a red state-- something which a John Kerry Presidency might have prevented-- my response will be this:

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

Massive layoffs in Wichita? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

Skyrocketing gas prices in Birmingham? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

Seniors unable to pay for prescription drugs in Salt Lake City? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

Young men and women from Omaha, Knoxville, and Jefferson City getting drafted and killed in preemptive wars based on cherry-picked fake intelligence? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

Outsourced jobs in Tulsa? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

Record bankruptcies in Pensacola? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

National Guardsmen from Fort Wayne being held over in Iraq due to a reserve system stretched thin? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ANYMORE. If you feel so strongly that this President's supposed "values" trump everything that he's done wrong, then fine. Last time I checked, opposing gay marriage didn't create jobs, and banning abortion didn't get us out of a quagmire in Iraq.

You've made your priorities clear. Now I have mine. And Red America, you're not one of them anymore.

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

1. You're just mad

The liberal in your heart will make you care again, when you're feeling better.

We did get 48%,you know. That ain't terrible.

[MallRat]

5. And those 48% will have my deepest, heartfelt sympathy.

When some kid from Harlem gets killed in the streets of Baghdad, I'LL GIVE A FUCK.

When a widow in Philadelphia freezes to death in her apartment because she had to spend her money on prescription drugs instead of fuel oil, I'LL GIVE A FUCK.

When 3,000 people die in yet ANOTHER terrorist attack in a major American city on the East Coast, then believe me, I WILL DEFINITELY GIVE A FUCK.

I only have so much compassion to go around. I'm saving it up for Blue America.

-MR

[Atlant]

8. Just say "Who'd ya vote for?"

Just say "Who'd ya vote for?"

If they say "Bush", then fall back to "Well, in that case, I don't
give a fuck that you're getting exactly what you voted for!"

And if they say Kerry, then say "Well I'm terribly sorry for you."

Atlant

[Pirate Smile]

25. I was looking at everyone with suspicion today when I picked up my kids

from school. Who voted for Bush?

Because I plan on blaming them for every thing that goes wrong, and we sure as hell know catastrophes are coming during the next four years.

Last time, he didn't even win and people could have (wrongly) actually bought into the whole "compassionate conservative" BS. Not this time. THEY OWN IT. They are responsible for all of it.

This is really making life interesting in my relationship with family members who voted for Bush.

35. God, I am doing the same thing - especially with white,

straight-seeming men in business suits. I think I need to lay low this weekend or I might hurt somebody.

[Sabriel]

42. I wish the yard signs would stay out

so I can tell who's a friend and who's an enemy of democracy. Ditto for bumperstickers.

[wildeyed]

64. I was giving a woman the dirty eye ball today while I was walking

aimlessly around my neighborhood in the rain. She was getting out of an expensive car in front of a house with Bush signs. I was practically growling at her. She look concerned, then crossed the street and knocked on the door of the house where the lovely democratic gay couple lives. Ooops.

[OnionPatch]

115. I think we need some sort of code

a small car sticker, a bracelet, etc. We need to be able to recognize each other for the reasons mentioned.....I will no longer lift a finger to help or even be friendly to any * voters.
Divided? Damn straight. As of Tuesday, these people are no longer the "loyal opposition." They are the enemy as far as I'm concerned, and I'll have nothing to do with them.

[ignatius 2]

65. Me too..a guy in my office has put out a picture of Bush with the

firefighters after 9-11 looking all resolute or something. I said that looks just like the blue steel look from zoolander. I got into an argument with 2 in my office yesterday who backed off because they knew I was right.

I read a wonderful essay today by a young grad student who basically said with all the facts, the busted economy, an unnecessary war that has killed thousands,with the prison torture scandals and the loss of respect by the rest of the world, 51% still voted for him.

Not one fucking complaint are they allowed, not one. When they bitch about gas prices, expensive heating bills, high prescription drug costs, or a relative dying in Afghanistan or Iraq, I am going to say suck it up you girlie men. You had all the facts about his incompetency and you still voted for him so shut the fuck up.

[Politicub]

75. Be careful!

I look like that much of the time at work. Then I open my mouth and yards of chiffon stream out. :)

[smirkymonkey]

88. LOL! Fortunately, I am relatively well behaved...

I won't pounce without a damn good reason! :)

[July]

100. Don't judge them all by their clothes.

I know some liberal executives.

[Donkeyboy75]

125. I know many white men

who wear business suits and vote Democrat. What a silly post.

Wanna beat up the elderly too? They favored Bush as well. :eyes:

[yorkiemommie1]

128. same here

it's like in Orwell's "1984" when Winston, the main character, keeps looking for signs in others that they are like spirits.

As for my relations w/ my family, they're shot. I am furious w/ my husband for censoring my daughter's thoughts on her website, (she's a full grown woman living independently) and for him telling me that 'worldview' means letting the UN run our lives, and that the SWift Boat Liars had it right! Daughter tells me to cool it, but how can I when I have to live w/ this ignorance?

I am sure he will be glued to the screen watching the action in Iraq.

[Skittles]

2. see, that's the thing MallRat

it would be so easy if we acted like republicans and only thought of ourselves - if we just didn't give a f*** about anything else. But as much as you say it, deep down you know you can't believe it - because you care. I care. That's what makes us Democrats.

[July]

107. But our agenda is one that would actually help people.

And they voted against it. We can keep caring in a general way, but we don't have to prop up their delusions.

Let them try to get by with George and "Jesus" (the fake one). It might just make them take another look at what our side is offering.

[Stuckinthebush]

3. Yep, I was saying that yesterday

and damn it if I wasn't back trying to help poor HIV positive people get housing today.

Let's face it, we can't just not give a fuck. It's not in us to do it for long.

[Shredr]

4. I felt that way at about 7:30 Wednesday morning...

"Look, I'm a white man, I was raised Christian, I make 6 figures a year, I'm just going to become one of them. Fuck it." That lasted about 3 minutes. But I just can't give in to that. I was angry and disillusioned. But that's just not me. You'll feel the same...

[PatriotGames]

6. I think I had a similar thought yesterday.

[info being]

11. No, not one of them.

You mean well, you want to help. The lesson is that you can't help someone who doesn't want your help. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

We shouldn't change our positions / political philosophy, but we need to drop the "poor poor souls in Witchita lost their jobs" attitude. We need to take a tuff love approach: "It wouldn't happen if you listen to our side."

[xultar]

7. Mine is FUCK'EM

14. That would make a decent punk song. n/t

[hatrack]

37. Seriously, I can definitely imagine punk rock to fit those words

DKs, Fugazi, Dead Milkmen, maybe even Green Day.

Sheesh, I'm really dating myself.

[bread_and_roses]

9. I am with you

I will no longer take one step to avert or ameliorate the consequences of the actions of this administration. That includes donating even 1$ to a charity and thereby subsidizing the Right agenda of shrinking the government and abolishing all social programs.

The American people have decided that keeping two people of the same sex out of the same bed and forced child-bearing are more important than jobs, health care, or the lives of any children in the world who do not happen to be born to the ruling Oligarchs.

So be it.

[Union Thug]

46. I think you're on to something there.

Any fucking privatization plans must be met by refusing to participate.

[info being]

10. That's where I'm at exactly.

You can say I'm just mad, but if you say that I won't give a fuck.

[maxsolomon]

12. i've been saying that for 4 years

already.

when a red state loses MORE manufacturing jobs, GOOD.

i just hope that al queda has the decency to leave the blue states alone. houston, dallas, & atlanta have plenty of tall buildings.

[Maiden England]

13. This bleeding heart liberals heart has bled dry

I think for a very long time my attitude is going to be - You are upset about XYZ? Who did you vote for? Bush/Didn't vote? Well then you've only got your fucking self to blame, go cry me a river, I supported Kerry.

[Midlodemocrat]

108. Already started

asked the kid who delivered pizza the other night who he voted for. He said "didn't vote, but wouldn't have voted Kerry". I said "Wrong answer, dude, here's fifty center, if you had voted for Kerry, it would have been five bucks". Simple, small protest, but I felt better. And I let me dog poop on the repugs lawn next door and didn't clean it up.

[MazeRat7]

15. From one Rat to another....

I could not have said it better. This being my first post since black Tuesday and having had ample time to reflect I think simply this:

Fuck 'em

They wanted control, now they have control. As for the "little people" or what is left of the "middle class".....Don't come crying to me when civil liberties erode, when states are ask to pick up a larger burden of costs and end up raising taxes, when someone feels "taken advantage of" by the system, when you cant treat your children because you dont have health care, when your sons and daughters are killed in an unnecessary war, or when any of a hundred other things the mindless seem to think GW can "protect" them from become realities in their life.

Next time a corporate charity ask for my $$$ I am going to direct their request to the white house. Next time I hear someone complain about not getting a job, I will direct them to the white house, next time I hear someone bitch about high consumer prices and inflation, I will direct them to the white house, and so on and so on.

If we are going to play this every-man-for-himself-game, I am ready, I have plenty of money, and I have a really pissed off attitude that is not going to go away anytime soon....

So to your point Rat.... hear hear.... FUCK 'EM ALL Red States, you made this bed, now get comfortable in it.

I am done for now.

[mainer]

106. So .. how do we get rid of farm and ranch subsidies?

Let's cut red state welfare once and for all.

[bicentennial_baby]

16. Word up

Fuck 'em. Fuck the Red states and all puke voters. I will enjoy my schaudenfreude (sp?) very much, thanks.

[redstateblues]

17. In my red state as I have tried to resume living my life

It is all I can do not to start screaming at total strangers or store clerks and say"How the fuck can you live with yourself for voting for that phony, lying motherfucker" I am disgusted and heartbroken at the ignorance and willingness to be duped that exists in this state- I can barely restrain myself from rear ending every car with a goddamn BC04 sticker. The pain is unbearable.

21. Do you live in South Dakota by any chance?

lips of all these "self-sufficiant" conservatives were pulled from the teet of Blue state money, they'd turn liberal quicker than you can possibly imagine.

[Arkana]

18. Hear hear

Chimp enablers can wallow in the fiery pit they've created.

To the 48% that saw the light: I'm really, really sorry, and always remember it's not your fault--you voted for Kerry.

[retread]

19. The people who live in those places and are on the margins and

had nothing to do with this, will be the ones hurt first and hardest. However, when my fundie co-worker who is living way above his base salary(huge mortgage, private christian school, etc) thanks to overtime loses that overtime, I will remind him that at least gays can't get married!

[dean_dem]

20. Similar to what I've been telling freeper co-workers:

"I'll make you an agreement: if you don't rub it in that your guy won, then when social security is bankrupt, a draft is put in place, our economy tanks thanks to a record deficit, when you can't afford health insurance, and another major preventable terrorist attack happens on our soil...I won't say 'I told you so.'"

No one taking me up on it as of yet.

[RevCheesehead]

45. Well, then...

when all those things happen, you can ask them "And WHO did you vote for?"

I'm leaving my Kerry stickers on my car.

[Catherine Vincent]

22. I have to laugh at your post. That's the attitude I took after

* stole the election again.

[guitar man]

23. here here!

I came to that same conclusion this morning. Of all the nerve someone could have, two days after the election one of my RW in-laws calls up this morning wanting to hit me up for a "loan". Now in the past I have been everybody's "favorite uncle" or brother-in-law or whatever and have been pretty good about handing out a few bucks here and there to help feed the babies etc.

Well, today is a different day. So after he hits me up, I ask him,"who did you vote for?". His answer "you know I voted for Bu$h"
I promptly told him I had no help for him , that he might try his church or perhaps call the local Repuke party headquarters to see if they had any help for him, because I certainly didn't. After he expressed his disappointment at my attitude, I told him "buck up, you're a rugged individual, you'll come up with something. Grab those 'ol bootstraps and pull as hard as you can." He hangs up.

Ten minutes later, his fat-ass super-fundie bitch of a wife calls me up ragging about what a "mean old bastard" I am. " My kids might go hungry and you're making an issue of who we voted for." My answer was: " No, your kids possibly going hungry is precisely WHAT YOU VOTED FOR. You and your husband spent the entire run-up to the election spitting in the face of everything I believe then two days after the election have the nerve to ASK ME FOR MONEY? A mean old bastard? You bet! It's a mean country and you voted to make it that way, now live with it. And by the way, if your lard ass would stop eating so fucking much, there might be something around for your kids to eat."

She slammed the phone down and that was that. I've spent the rest of the day thinking about what I did and if it was right or not and I've come to a conclusion.......DAMN THAT FELT GOOD!!!!!!

<edit typo>

[Pirate Smile]

28. LOL. I agree. I'm blaming the Bush voters. There are no excuses this

time.

[hatrack]

38. Man, what I would have given to be you for those two minutes!

I'm having trouble not busting a gut here at work! :yourock:

[guitar man]

47. My wife just called from work

she is still laughing about it, and these are HER relation. She always got on me because I am such an old softie about helping people out, even when it hurts us a little. I think it surprised her to see me turn ugly on their ass so quick.

[XanaDUer]

40. That is a GREAT FUCKING STORY!

I tend to have more money than some other relatives. Only one RW relative has a lot of money. I don't have much, but I used to share what I had.

No more. Need money for the kids' prescription?

FUCK YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS!

[Flaxbee]

91. I'm sorry, but that's just sick and completely beneath what we

as liberals should stand for and do.

You can point out that these idiots voted for Bush, and it will only get worse, but why make the kids suffer? You sure as hell aren't gonna convert anyone that way. I'm not saying open your wallets so they can be raided, or stand there to get pissed on, but jesus, what the hell are you saying? Let the kids die because their parents voted for Bush? You're telling them karma's a bitch, so be prepared for the shit to hit your fan someday.

[July]

101. You're putting the kids' possible deaths on him?

If they believe in Bush, they should be accountable for caring for their kids. They should be able to find a job, "because anyone who wants to work in America can, or they're just lazy." They should go to churches and other faith-based groups that are supposed to pick up the slack for cuts in social programs. They can get food and clothing from charities.

Or maybe they're just hypocrites who don't mind hitting up relatives for money rather than following the precepts their own party teaches.

[XanaDUer]

43. PS-I wonder what the conversation was between him and his wife

In the ten minutes it took the wife to call you.

I am also sick of these people using their kids like a guilt stick over your head.

[guitar man]

48. I bet she was fuming

..she's probably beaten his little ass by now for being a wimp or something.

[XanaDUer]

49. LOL!

Or, "remind him of the children!"

Yup, the liberal-largesse gravy train has just screeched to a halt in many quarters.

[guitar man]

52. I agree

These RW asshats have been going around for too long spouting mantra like "no one is starving to death in Amerika" and "the poor have it better here than any country on earth" NOT ONCE do you ever hear them give credit to the "bleeding heart liberals" whom they so deeply despise for attemptimg to make those pipe dreams come true for them. I say we let our hearts scab over for a while and let them feel the sting of what they have created. Only this way can we effect change.

[XanaDUer]

53. As I posed on another thread yesterday, until we stop

enabling them, they will continue in their stupidity.

I say, you can "vote your values" as much as you want, but, as the party of "personal responsibility", you should also be able to live with the consequences of their actions.

[guitar man]

54. let them try

...some actual "rugged individualism" for a change. If their gonna talk it, make 'em walk it.

[Nicholas_J]

44. Yup

Let the values that they share with George W. Bush keep them warm and dry, and keep their bellies filled. This is a great story. Let their churches that rant against homosexuality and abortion practice a little of the social gospel and provide them a little lucre.

This is about the only thing that wil work against their hero. If they start to personally be hurt by their decision, they may thing twoice before making it again.

I hope you stick to your guns on this and never give to them again. You owe their kids a good lesson on this as well.

I guarantee you have been financing their ability to live a little more comfortably while they praise the guy who is the reason that the need your assistance to begin with.

We can all do this in lot of ways. I used to give money to a local church that helps the homeless. I didnt like it but they are the only game in town.

I just too the latest envelope they sent me and wrote a note stateing that I could not give anything to them again, as their position on who should be president was something I felt detrimental to the wellbeing of the nation that I will never contribute to them again.
I told them to ask the president to make up the shortfall.

We can do this with everything. Though it may hurt in the short run, it will have a dramatic effect in the long run. Look closely at any organizations that you contribute to and make absolutely certain that they had no part in supporting Bush.

This gives me a very strong sense that it is likely that many such organizations that may be charitable in nature have in ways supported the Bush Administration, but get a good deal of financing from due to the good will of people who give to them because of the services they provide, ewithout thinking of the candidate they support. Nothing to any organization tha remotely supports the right wing system of "values"

[guitar man]

50. I meant what I said

and I'll stick to it.


My wife was heavily involved with a "mission church" here that runs a kitchen for the homeless etc. I'm not a church guy myself, but she attended every Sunday. She came home one Sunday and told me about the Pastor singing the praises of GW. "How dare he" was my reaction. She thought a minute and realized I was right and hasn't been back since. I'm waiting for them to call and ask why and I hope I am the one who answers the phone.

[Nicholas_J]

58. What is most hypocritical about the so called value voters

Is that their entire value system, based on opposing homosexuality or abortion is has the most minimal scriptural basis. Out of the entire bible there are only THREE statements about homosexuality, and one is a big stretch because it seem to be talking more anbout men dressing like wonem and women dressing like men. There are zero statements about abortion and it requires the interpretation of six old testement quotations dealing with the sanctity of the person in the womb. and most of these do not directly refer to everyopne being sanctified in the womb, but were psalms where David is speaking to God as havinf sanctified HIM in the womd, that is to say he was chosen by God in the womb to be the King of Israel. There are absolutely NO direct statements in the bible which define abortion as incorrect or sinful. None whatsoever.

This is what they base their entire system of values on:

Homosexuality

"And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." - Romans 1:27

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it abomination." - Leviticus 18:22

"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so abomination unto the Lord thy God." - Deuteronomy 22:5

Abortion


"By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise continually of thee." - Psalms 71:6

"Lo, children an heritage of the Lord: the fruit of the womb reward." - Psalms 127:3

"For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb." - Psalms 139:13

"Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?" - Job 31:15

"Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen." - Isaiah 44:2

"Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength." - Isaiah 49:1, 5

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." - Jeremiah 1:5

This is the whole show, the entire scriptural basis of the supporters of George W. Bush for their ENTIRE value system.

I am rather disappointed in my Catholic Co-Religionists. There is not\ excuse for the massive failure they have shown in completely ignoring social justice while focusing on these petty scriptural side issues. Given that before Pope John Paul II ever commented on aboprtion or homosexuality, the first words he spoke ever in the United States were in his homily in the mass he gave at Yankee Stadium:

That voice has not been limited to exhortations. In three great social encyclicals, John Paul II expounded in detail the Christian ethical concepts of economic justice and a fully human development for all peoples. The spirit breathing through these documents was felt in a passage of the homily the pope gave on Oct. 2, 1979, at a Mass for 80,000 people in New York City’s Yankee Stadium: “The poor of the United States and of the world are your brothers and sisters in Christ. You must never be content to leave them just the crumbs from the feast. You must take of your substance, and not just of your abundance, in order to help them.”

The leader of the Catholic Church did not decide to take issue with abortion or homosexuality in his first words to the American peopleafter his ascnension to the throne of Peter. His first words had to do with social justice and the social gospel, not individual behavior.

I will not bother to try to give even a comprehensive sample of scripture on social justice and the requirements to give everything you have to assist the poor. It would eat up all of DU's band width.

Bush supporters values systems as as shallow as most of their intellects.

[Alleycat]

71. I love it!!!

Next time they ask if they do just remind them that God will provide.

121. Good!

24. Feels good don't it?

It's like when you finally end that disasterous relationship, and you get that feeling inside, that feeling of liberation. When you realize: I don't have to put up with this shit anymore. I'm leaving you. I'm done. It's over.

[Hatalles]

30. It does feel like liberation.

We know, in our heart of hearts, that HE is NOT our president. The blue states have seceded from the union -- it may not be a physical separation but it's already happened.

[snacker]

26. I have said the phrase

"Who cares?" more in the last two days than I have for the last 50 years.

[MidwestMomma]

27. Sounds like my new mantra

Only mine is more of a FUCK THEM ALL

I told a Bush supporter at work today that I don't care anymore. This country can go to hell, they think Bush is so great, they can live with what they picked.

I told him all Dems have ever wanted and fought for was to make this country a better place and all we ever do is get shit on for it. I told him from now on it's about me and mine. That I was going to make sure that me and my family were fine but I DON'T CARE what happens to everyone else.

He was like "Well that's not a very nice attitude"

I told him "Well it's my attitude, like it or leave it."

Shortly afterwards I saw the article about layoffs in Wichita and I laughed and said to myself, FUCK THEM ALL. I know Wichita was heavy for the Bush.

Thanks for listening. I'm in a very black place right now.

[robbedvoter]

31. Why jan 20 2009? Are they bringing back elections then?

And how about my loss of Social security? Kids drafted etc....
This was not a hobby for me - it was survival.

[RT Atlanta]

32. I agree with you... and I'm in GA

Like some of the others have posted above, my thoughts are if they voted for Kerry, I consider them a brother/sister in arms, if they voted for Bush - fuck 'em - they deserve, and will most surely get sooner or later, every bad piece of karma and mojo that is associated with those vile gangsters. Fucking republican ass-monkey pigs... all of 'em.

My heart has bled dry - and I am sick and tired of their faux morals and anything else having to do with them.

I'm also a blue voter from a red state, "Don't blame me I voted for Kerry" is better, because it includes all Kerry voters.

[ArkDem]

55. I hate everyone I disagree with too.

[July]

103. That's good, because they sure hate you (and the rest of us). nt

[NightOwwl]

56. Feels so good to say it.

Last night I was talking to my friend about another 4 years.

I told her a lot of people are going to suffer, but the people who will suffer the most are the people who voted for him. And guess what? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

Your son got shipped off to Iraq because Bush reinstated the draft and he couldn't get a deferment like Cheney? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

You just found out he died in Bush's war for oil? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

You're out on the street begging because your job was outsourced to India? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

Your baby is diagnosed with a deadly disease and there is no cure in sight because a frozen embryo is worth more than a living, breathing human being? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

Your best friend commits suicide because he couldn't bear the "stigma" of being gay in a town full of homophobes? Oh, and you didn't even have a clue he was gay because he seemed so "normal". I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

You suffer in pain every day because you can't afford the prescription drugs that will give you the relief you so desperately crave? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

You voted for Bush and you are getting screwed? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

Ah, I feel much better now.

[Crunchy Frog]

120. That would make a good bumpersticker.

Voted for Bush and are Getting Screwed?
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

[progdonkey]

59. Yeah, Fuck 'Em

I also had absolutely no pity for any of the Republicans affected by the hurricanes in ways that could have been helped through Federal help. You think you don't need the Federal Government and its programs? Fine, learn to swim, fucker.

[Puglover]

61. A women that I work with

proudly informed me today that she had voted for Bush....my response.."great Joann, when your brats get drafted and shipped off to some god forsaken place to go fight Bushes wars, don't come crying to me. That's what you voted for"
She was shocked and frankly so was I.
And honest to God, I would'nt give a fucking shit.

[skooooo]

63. Exactly what they need to hear.

Good job.

[skooooo]

62. I second that sentiment.

And I challenge the idea that this is somehow "apathy" that will wear off.

[Puglover]

69. I agree Skooooo

I'm finished with the nice guy routine. ANYONE who voted for this murderous bastard and his buddies are fair game as far as I'm concerned. My partner and I are DINKS. I will never see any of my money go to anything that is connected in the slightest way to this cabal or anyone that help put them in our WH. I'm done. Period. And you can take that to the bank.

[TexasSissy]

66. I hear ya. And I agree.

[AuntPatsy]

67. I hear you, I always thought I was a nice person, I don't feel so nice

lately...

[wildeyed]

68. When my sitter tells me, my daughter is losing her house because her son

fell and broke his arm in three places and they have no health insurance, and they can't afford to pay for the doctor bills, I will say, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. You guys voted for him and this is what you get. Nothing! How you like them values?

[JSG]

70. I am with you 100%

As someone said upthread, my bleeding heart has bled dry.

I will no longer stand up for those who worked against us or stood idly by as we fought for their future. Let them fight for their own goddamn future now.

[tedzbear]

72. They will be sorry that in a fit of bigotry in the private voting booth...

...they picked the chimp when they knew the right thing to do was pick Kerry. I'm talking about those undecideds who surrendered to their selfish, baser instincts instead of voting with their conscience. They sided with the warmongers and bigots and they knew better.

Fuck 'em.


:mad:

[LVdem]

73. I LIKE YOUR 'TUDE, DUDE...

Better dead than red!!!!

[July]

105. Oh, love it, "better dead than red"! nt

[sleepyhead]

74. Bed. Made. Lie.

I am with you too. It feels damn good.

[derbstyron]

76. I sent MY mandate. I voted for Kerry.

I hope my fellow Floridians (especially the ones in the backward Panhandle) enjoy the next four years.

[yorgatron]

77. FUCK'EM!

no more reaching across the aisle to ther bastards that won't even give a reach-around.no more blue state dollars funneled to red states.no more of our national gaurd or reserves sent to die.we don't give them jackshit anymore :mad::mad::mad:

[Eloriel]

78. Observation

This is a really interesting thread. What occurs to me as I read through it all is that what so many of you are doing, in reality, is opting out -- opting out of supporting a sick and sinking system. Call it political Tough Love.

I approve, heartily. I think I'll join you. And it certainly is liberating, isn't it?

[Blue_Tires]

98. political tough love

is a good description

[riverwalker]

79. they bought it, they own it

I officially announce I no longer give a fuck as well.

[bling bling]

81. Yep, I'm done too. Seriously.

I know longer give a fuck about anyone that supported Bush. Don't turn to me when you feel betrayed by the men you bolstered to power, as surely will happen. You betrayed half of the country and 95% of the world when we begged you to help us get these corrupt leaders out of office. It's simply unforgivable what you've done.

[yorgatron]

82. kick

:kick:

[ejcastellanos]

83. Waiting for the first "I need" call

Already told the wife that when her Bush loving brother calls I am saying no.

I also feel a kinship with all those who supported Kerry. We need to find a way to build upon this sensen of community. Let's face it, our side is generally better educated and more creative. We should consider creating communities, business and social that support each other. I'd love to live in the Bay Area in California but it is not really an option. I'm stuck for now in a red state cringing at all the W paraphenalia.

I've read posts about moving to swing states. After the initial panic and research on moving to Canada I came to realize that this is MY country and I am going to fight for it. Perhaps we should colonize those swing states. Send our best and brightest and forge a better tomorrow.

[NuttyFluffers]

90. If you do want to colonize, might i suggest Delaware

It is the state with the greatest (and rising percentage) of companies filing for bankrupcies. its laws seem to be quite favorable and a sort of loophole. it is small, provides 2 senators, still on the east coast (near some blue), and at least 1 congressmen. it has something less than a million people; i think 600,000 or so (smaller than SF proper...).

if you do conquer it please help change the state's laws to remove the bankrupcy leniency. it'll be a great way to leave many bastards out high and dry.

colonize delaware!

[Azure]

84. This is becoming a movement...

Check it out... we can make this happen. The repukes will be the first ones on board, if we do it right. There is an real opportunity to turn this into a lesson that will not soon be forgotten:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/11/3/151749/966

[drhilarius]

85. This is the revolution...

I will protect my fellow blue staters, work for them. We have the power and money to win a cold civil war.

[tedzbear]

86. Maybe we should pay extra local and state tax so we can...

...write it off on our federal tax!

Or is that implausable????

[SOS]

111. If that is possible

you may have just hit upon the best idea of the year.

[Carolina]

92. I totally agree

and worse than "I don't give a fuck," I actually get gleeful with their misery. No jobs --what good news, ha, ha but you still have your god and your guns! No food, ha, ha, eat shit, toxic waste and die so I can dance on your grave.

OK, that's a tad harsh but I am still mad as hell and in the vengeful bitch mode.

[Wols]

94. Brilliant

I am inclined to agree with you.

[Darranar]

95. So because a geographical area voted for Bush...

everyone in that area deserves what they get? Even the Kerry voters?

[JPace]

96. Tantrums are so theraputic.....

there now...don't you feel better already?

Get a big glass of milk and some chocolate cookies
and go to bed with a good book. No news for the rest
of the night. We expect you back here tomorrow rested
and ready for duty.

[gordianot]

97. I have replaced all cursing with two words "Republican" and "Bush"

My mantra.

[Senator Lamb]

99. so i guess its true

about the human emotion of revenge. i certainly feel it. the more misery for these people the better.

[Bunny]

102. I agree.

I have three draft-age nephews, and I would guess that two of them proudly voted for Bush. The third one doesn't vote. I can only wonder what they'll think when they are called up for service.

[mainer]

104. God, it's so nice to hear someone else say this

I'm making out like a bandit with these tax cuts, while the poorest people in my area (the ones living in the trailers) are the ones who had Bush-Cheney signs planted in their messy front yards.

[Midlodemocrat]

110. Right there with you

...I can't wait for my next tax cut and my neighbors without jobs voted for Bush. How stupid could they be? Well, at least they're not gay or having an abortion. THAT would be truly horrible. Dumb fucks.

[progressivebydesign]

109. I'm not at the "I DON"T GIVE A FUCK" stage yet...

.. I'm in a wierd, detached mode now. I feel badly for our troops who are being attacked in Iraq. But I really feel such a detachment to all of this right now. Before, when I read of everything going wrong here and abroad, I was moved to anger and sadness, but I felt great thinking that Bush was going to be gone after the election. Obviously, the dick is still going to be in the White House.

[marlakay]

113. I told my mom if anyone complains about air quality

they can just choke on it! I am moving up to Washington in 9 months to retire where the air is nice and clear and I did my part to have the whole country be that way but will I feel sorry for the rest? NO

They can choke on the air they voted for! And sorry if you are a dem in a red state but if you care about the environment the way I do you will have to move to or change your area.

[IndianaGreen]

114. Indianapolis voted for Kerry-Edwards!

The problem is the Electoral College and the winner-take-all system that disenfranchises everyone that did not vote for the winner.

Indianapolis votes:

BUSH/CHENEY (REP) 155,843 48.68%
KERRY/EDWARDS (DEM) 161,957 50.58%

http://www2.indygov.org/elections/Gen2004/SummaryReport.html

[OnionPatch]

117. On board with you

From now on, all the efforts I formerly put into this election will now be pointed toward the cold civil war. I'm going to spend as much time as possible researching where every cent of our money goes. (And we make pretty good money, too.) Not a cent goes anywhere that supports the right wing in any way.
Another thing we should all be doing: Making a laughing stock out of people who pay no attention to government and politics. 99% of the Bush voters I know are so woefully uninformed it's not even funny. They know more about Nascar than the way our government functions. From now on, anyone I encounter that knows nothing about the way their country functions will be on object of derision and humor.

[natrat]

118. I DONT GIVE A FUCK

but i do feel for some who will be killed in iraq, and people here who cant help themselves and the women who will get back alley abortions and all the forests the muricans are going to rape

[Ramsey]

119. Let them eat cake

We all know that the Republicans fiscal policies are disastrous for all those lower and middle class fundies who just voted them into 4 more disastrous years. They want to dismantle federal programs, I say let them.

The blue states subsidize the red states. We pay the taxes and they are given to the Republican states. So let them privitize Social Security, get rid of Medicare and Medicaid, end welfare, as long as they also end farm subsidies and corporate handouts.

People will suffer, but the red states will suffer much less, because WE'VE GOT MORE MONEY. Let the states take care of their own citizens. This should be the most efficient way to get the Republicans out of power. People eventually will vote their pocketbooks, or at least many will. The extremist evangelicals are a lost cause, these are the same people that give to Jerry Falwell even though they can't pay for food or clothing. But the average person will eventually see the light, after the Repugs take away all those programs that they depend on much more heaivly in the red states.

[JCMach1]

123. Don't count on it when W gets rid of the 22nd Am.

grounds... why you can't change presidents during war... didn't you know that!

[LiberalPersona]

124. That offends me

I live right outside of Wichita and one of the layoffs could be in my family.

Are you forgetting that millions of us live in red states?

[Connie_Corleone]

127. Uh, You do realize that Kerry voters live in red states too??

It's nice to know you and others don't give a fuck about us Kerry voters who live in "red" states.

:eyes:

If you're going to "not give a fuck" anymore, try "not giving a fuck" towards Bush supporters only, NOT every single person who happens to live in a "red" state.

[Terran]

129. I happen to live in Jefferson City

and I fucking resent your stupid self-centered attitude. We Dems here worked our asses off trying to make a difference. The worst thing any Dem can possibly do is see everything in terms of stark red and blue, because you are kicking progressives who live in "red" staes in the teeth. What were the percentages for Bush in California and New York? The so-called blue states have millions of people who support repug ideology.

[Stephanie]

130. I'm with you. If REDS are too LAZY to learn the FACTS.

If they are too GREEDY and IGNORANT to think of the common good, I WRITE THEM OFF. If you voted RED you are dead to me. I won't listen to you, I have nothing to say to you, I don't care what happens to you, I don't know you.

[GOPBasher]

131. I'm with you.
