Another way to tell if the next terrorist attack is a MIHOP

[genius]

If it's in a blue state, it is. Foreign terrorists would never attack a blue state as we are not their enemy. Most foreigners blame the red states for Bush. They would go for a red state.

I don't belive any state will be attacked by foreigners. However, the only ones with a motive to attack a blue state are Bush and his gang of criminals. If it happenes in a blue state, that's proof enough next time, and it will be time to arrest the Bush gang.

1. Well maybe....but...

New York is a blue state.

6. I believe that was Bush, too.

2. I don't know about that

there are more strategic targets in blue states.. 3 largest cities (NY, LA, Chicago) are in blue states,...

9. Not if they hit

The big oil targets. There are a number of targets in Texas that would hurt the U.S. financially. This would affect our primary means of transportation, and could hurt interstate trade, creating economic instability across the board. Unemployment of truckers, non-distribution of goods, etc.

Though to be honest, I don't think that terrorists will make a distinction in targets based on voting geography. If they decide to hit, it'll be the juiciest target regardless of how many voted for who.

isn't it ?

5. They probably

got a couple more pro-war European countries on their list before they get back to the States. Plus don't forget those kind US marines who are acting as "flypaper" in Iraq.

7. It would be good to send a message to Bush.

"Touch the blue, we know it's you."

8. blue states drive the economy and support the red states. I don't think

bush can allow a blue state terrorist attack, just because of the blow to the economy with 2006 midterms coming up.

On the other hand, an attack in a red state would whip up the bushbase - 'religious' wingnut flavor fervor. That would help 2006 midterm outcome by driving his base out to vote.

10. You're kidding, right

You really think that terrorists draw those kinds of distinctions? Wow! So how come London was attacked? Didn't East London elect Galloway? Maybe the terrorists are studying precinct and ward maps and results....

Sheesh....tinfoil getting tight around here...
