Elections-Elected USA

by Jane Stillwater

Why are the blue states paying for the red states’ crazy spending sprees?

Like uncontrolled pre-teens at a shopping mall, red states with credit cards in hand are running up so much debt on our blue state Mastercard that we both are going under.

Who gave the red states OUR credit card? The Electoral College did it. That’s identity theft!

Isn’t it about time that the Electoral College got sent back to school to take a civics lesson in "Proportional Representation".

Without the blue states, the red states’ bank account would be a joke. Yet it is the teenybopper red states and their bumbling, greedy, blood-thirsty leaders that are dragging us parent blue states around by the ear.

Another sad but true story: The more that blood-thirsty red state leaders orchestrate the massacre of Middle Eastern women and children, the more blue states become endangered. Blue states are fully aware that red state politicians can yell, "Na na ne na ne na" from behind their mother’s skirts all they want but it was the Twin Towers, not the Alamo, that got bombed.

The National Debt Clock: Americans now owe $7,455,244,307,566.87. That’s $25,296.03 each

From the Minneapolis Star Tribune, November 4, 2004: Republicans have proposed that the debt ceiling be raised by $690 billion to $8.074 trillion, an amount that would get the government through next September, when the 2005 budget year ends.

Steal an election once, shame on you. Steal an election twice...

From Yahoo News: Machine error gives Bush extra Ohio votes

More Yahoo: ATLANTA - A national voting rights group said Friday it documented hundreds of voting irregularities affecting poor and minority voters in seven Southern states - from long lines and faulty equipment to deliberate voter intimidation.

Vote with your money: From Michael Ruppert:

From Mike: Make your one voice a growing part of a crowd of voices...all shouting against the deception, fraud, theft and evil doers right here at home first...then just take your vacation to anywhere but in a Red state...buy products made anywhere but a Red state...and maybe even just buy things from France, Canada or New Zealand instead of moving there...

Also from Mike: [Forget about Canada or New Zealand! Move to a red state! Berkeley already has its priorities straight. The red states NEED us!] Move to a soft Red state and change the dynamics of ALL elections in that state as well as the results of future national elections...

  • Does anyone remember history? Perhaps the late 1800s and early 1900s when the political bosses were running the various elections. Does what has happened in the last two presidential races look familiar? Look a lot like those times? I think they do – much too much like those times.

    And now the GOP is gleefully stating that they are preparing to keep the power that they manipulated and stole from the American people. They say they have a ‘political mandate’. How can we just sit at home and let this go on? What can those quiet American’s who don’t like being the next generation of “The Ugly American” do?

    Where do we begin to make a real difference? With our Senate? Our House of Representatives? By ending the electoral college? All those are places that are very hard to actually reach, as hard as reaching common ground with each other. Why are we allowing the “Conservatives” to run this great Nation? Why are we afraid to say, “you don’t have to wear you religion on your sleeve? You are not required to bash others over the head with it”.

    And why are we allowing Bush, the Republicans, and the Evangelical Conservatives to make Liberal a dirty word? Liberal is an adjective meaning given freely; open minded; not prejudiced; and a noun - a person who favors individual liberty. And that scares people? Liberals find others being conservative acceptable, but the opposite is not true – why not? Why is having an open mind frightening? Why do liberals have to fight so hard for common sense laws? For a common sense president? Why do liberals traditionally have to drag the conservative portion of our nation, the so called red states, kicking and screaming, into the next century?

    Conservatives would be welcome to stay in the old century if they wish. But they won’t let those who are ready to move forward do so. They do not want anyone else to have a different opinion, nor a belief other than theirs. Why not? Trying to stomp on other people, trying to keep others from their own life is not a Christian concept. I wonder how many of those who fight to keep the status quo know that. Bush and the Republicans do – but apparently it’s their secret.

    • Fuck the South. Fuck ’em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they’d stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep.

      And now what do we get? We’re the fucking Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really?

      Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons in the glove compartment because you didn’t bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard?

      No, No. Get the fuck out. We’re not letting you visit the Liberty Bell and fucking Plymouth Rock anymore until you get over your real American selves and start respecting those other nine amendments. Who do you think those fucking stripes on the flag are for? Nine are for fucking blue states. And it would be 10 if those Vermonters had gotten their fucking Subarus together and broken off from New York a little earlier. Get it? We started this shit, so don’t get all uppity about how real you are you Johnny-come-lately "Oooooh I’ve been a state for almost a hundred years" dickheads. Fuck off.

      Arrogant? You wanna talk about us Northeasterners being fucking arrogant? What’s more American than arrogance? Hmmm? Maybe horsies? I don’t think so. Arrogance is the fucking cornerstone of what it means to be American. And I wouldn’t be so fucking arrogant if I wasn’t paying for your fucking bridges, bitch.

      All those Federal taxes you love to hate? It all comes from us and goes to you, so shut up and enjoy your fucking Tennessee Valley Authority electricity and your fancy highways that we paid for. And the next time Florida gets hit by a hurricane you can come crying to us if you want to, but you’re the ones who built on a fucking swamp. "Let the Spanish keep it, it’s a shithole," we said, but you had to have your fucking orange juice.

      The next dickwad who says, "It’s your money, not the government’s money" is gonna get their ass kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal fucking dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. That’s right, motherfucker, they’re red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It’s too easy, asshole, they’re blue states. It’s not your money, assholes, it’s fucking our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance? Try this for self reliance: buy your own fucking stop signs, assholes.

      Let’s talk about those values for a fucking minute. You and your Southern values can bite my ass because the blue states got the values over you fucking Real Americans every day of the goddamn week. Which state do you think has the lowest divorce rate you marriage-hyping dickwads? Well? Can you guess? It’s fucking Massachusetts, the fucking center of the gay marriage universe. Yes, that’s right, the state you love to tie around the neck of anyone to the left of Strom Thurmond has the lowest divorce rate in the fucking nation. Think that’s just some aberration? How about this: 9 of the 10 lowest divorce rates are fucking blue states, asshole, and most are in the Northeast, where our values suck so bad. And where are the highest divorce rates? Care to fucking guess? 10 of the top 10 are fucking red-ass we’re-so-fucking-moral states. And while Nevada is the worst, the Bible Belt is doing its fucking part.

      But two guys making out is going to fucking ruin marriage for you? Yeah? Seems like you’re ruining it pretty well on your own, you little bastards. Oh, but that’s ok because you go to church, right? I mean you do, right? Cause we fucking get to hear about it every goddamn year at election time. Yes, we’re fascinated by how you get up every Sunday morning and sing, and then you’re fucking towers of moral superiority. Yeah, that’s a workable formula. Maybe us fucking Northerners don’t talk about religion as much as you because we’re not so busy sinning, hmmm? Ever think of that, you self-righteous assholes? No, you’re too busy erecting giant stone tablets of the Ten Commandments in buildings paid for by the fucking Northeast Liberal Elite. And who has the highest murder rates in the nation? It ain’t us up here in the North, assholes.

      Well this gravy train is fucking over. Take your liberal-bashing, federal-tax-leaching, confederate-flag-waving, holier-than-thou, hypocritical bullshit and shove it up your ass.

      And no, you can’t have your fucking convention in New York next time. Fuck off.
