Let's give the Republicans their own country!
Edited on Wed Oct-03-07 07:41 AM by Perry Logan
We can't let the wingers go on living in our fair country, can we? They stole two Presidential elections and have permanently damaged the nation. Once we take over, we obviously can't go back to business as usual, with a bunch of fat traitors sitting on one side of the aisle. It'll only be a matter of time before they game the system and start screwing things up again.

Let's face it: America will never be safe until the Right are driven from our country. Since the political Right in America is a tiny minority of creepy white guys, it's only appropriate for them to move out and for us to stay.

Here's my plan: we clear the cool people out of Texas and put the Republicans there. They could have their own country. Texas has already been totally messed up by conservative/libertarian policies, so the wingers would feel at home there.

Radical as it sounds, this is a win-win proposition.

The IQ of the United States would SKYROCKET. We could stop the war, save the environment, get a healthcare system, start making reparations to the rest of the world. The poverty rate would go down; abortions would be safe and legal; we would have a functioning FEMA.

And so on.

More importantly, the people who invariably screw things up could finally have a country run the way they want. Apparently, this would be along the line of the Great Republican Gross-Out of 2000-2006.

"Wingnutistan" would be a country comprised almost entirely of white males. It would have a closed border, you bet your ass. Taxes would be low, and there would be a whopping big deficit. Abortions would be handled by the mob, and the infant mortality rate would be through the ceiling. There would be no healthcare system, no food safety laws, no workplace safety laws, no environmental regulations, no Meals on Wheels, no National Weather Service, no Medicare, and no liberals to rip off. Homosexuality would be illegal--yet there would be oodles of homosexuals. There would be no people of color, no science, no culture, no art.

They would be dead within weeks. Like I say, it's win-win.

so they can't get out.

7. No. let's give the Republicans, the old confederacy.
We will invite the sane people north to the Mason Dixon line and send the Republicans down South.

The Democratic and Republican parties have switched their constituencies since the Civil war.

Lincoln should have let the confederacy leave after the war got won and after Lincoln freed black people and invited the black people to the North.

Today we could call the Republican's country Fuckupistan.

2. I suggest one of those little islands that is
rapidly being swallowed up by the results of global warming.

8. that would be poetic justice
I'm sure they'll do well with no infrastructure and their private police/fire departments. Everyone knows how well they like to share, I'm sure they'll do just fine.

On second thought, they'd probably just become a big terrorist state and try to take by force everything from everyone else. Not that that would be too different from now.

4. You're assuming we'll have fair elections next time?
And with impeachment off the table tell me again what is there to stop them if they decide not to give up power?

for this suggestion, but it's all yours, Wingnutistan.

Just let our bikers borrow Sturgis once a year.

6. This suggestion is consistent with my long-held opinion that the US is
too damn big to actually function well as a democracy.

Plus, we would be left with such a nice place to live, unplagued by the scum on the right.
