Yeah, I live in a Blue state, but it was blue only because 4 counties went overwhelmingly blue (basically Lansing, Detroit and Ann Arbor). The rest of the state is slightly more conservative than the Bush family reunion.

It's another article where a East- or West- coaster believes we're herding sheep on an indian reservation, living in abandoned U-haul trailers and having children as a product of a sexual relationship with our parents. Once again we're all snake-handling religious idiots who refuse modern medicine in favor of treatment based on a mistranslation of the Book of the Dead, or the Bible (which are all the same thing after all). Our version of fine arts consists of monster truck races, tractor pulls and box luncheon auctions. We have sex with our animals, which we raise as pets and then eat for supper one night. We don't like Howard Stern, or even Don Imus, meaning that we have no sense of humor. Worse yet, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannidy have us all in their hypnotic grip. Our idea of "diversity" basically means that we extend credit to people who we aren't related to (everone is related in the Red states). We are all grossly obese, have no sun tan, and lack any fashion sense. There are no good Mexican restaraunts in Red states.

Not like those enlightened blue states, whose cities include Oakland, East St. Louis and Detroit. The political leaders from the Blue states number people like Bob Packwood, B-1 Bob, Ronald Reagan, Grey Davis, and Hillary, Barbara Lee,.... Blue states now have 24-hour electrical service, 365 days a year, now that Arnold is the Goverernator. Of course, no strange or "kookie" ideas ever come from California that are soon discreditied. Blue states should be proud of their businesses, like the Washington State Power System (aka "WSPS" pronouced "Whoops"), Tyco, Martha Stewart, Computer Associates, Adelphia, ImClone, Qwest, Rite-Aid.... And we all know that those dot-coms were all honorable failures. And, the key to a happy marriage (and fewer divorces) is that people don't get married in the first place.

Now, if you'll excuse me, my sheep dog wants a date.

Not so fast there Cali - you can take the Blue Precincts, not the entire state.

[peyton randolph]

So you get Texas

As a Texas resident, they can have the lesser 49. The Lone Star State is the way things ought to be.

[Mamzelle]

They keep promising, but they keep staying! Can we get them on breach of promise?

[NordP]

San Diego is a RED COUNTY!

[Always A Marine]

Hey, California... We'll all have a good laugh when your new "representatives" are forced to convene in Mexico City. Don't ask us for a damned thing! Buh-bye...

[Bombardier]

Somebody needs to tell those whiny libs that some of the most cutting edge cancer and organ transplant work is done at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the finest vertebrate paleontology in the world takes place at the University of Wyoming, and you'll never find better geologists than at the Colorado School of Mines. Yep....us red-staters are so far behind those enlightened blue staters.

I just hope none of them need a kidney transplant or cancer treatment. If any of them do, maybe they can find good medicine at the Vatterott College in Pakoima......

The Republic of California better find a cure for AIDS quick. It's going to spread through their new republic like wildfire.

They better find some businesses, too. Intel and Microsoft aren't going to hang around in a country that thinks that their whole reason for being is to provide capitol for "state-sponsorered elections," "Hillary-care," free government day care, etc.

[RetroWarrior]

California 'left' a long time ago. Now it's starting to 'right.'

[sassbox]

just another example of how stunningly elitist liberals are. And as the other poster pointed out, there aren't really any blue states - just blue cities.

[Altamira]

Hey, good luck, Californians!

But keep in mind that we red states will be requiring lengthy citizenship applications and waiting periods when you all want to bail out of your socialist hellhole!

[Not A Snowbird]

Washington is NOT a blue state! California can take King County, but the rest is BUSH COUNTRY!!!

[ElkGroveDan]

Yeah, I live in a Blue state, but it was blue only because 4 counties went overwhelmingly blue (basically Lansing, Detroit and Ann Arbor). The rest of the state is slightly more conservative than the Bush family reunion.

You just described California too. So why don't you re-write this article to fit your state?

Without the greater San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles, California would be redder than Texas. If you can get rid of Lansing and Ann Arbor and Detroit, we can get rid of our liberals too.

[Churchillspirit]

California also gets Free Republic!!!

[Dog Gone]

I'm sure the author of this diatribe has considered the impact when the Red States cut off the oil and gas pipelines, and sever the electricity lines.

Or maybe not. The writer is more concerned about wine.

[Polybius]

California will now be its own country. And we're taking all the Blue States with us. In case you are not aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and all of the North East.

Well, after the extremely short war, the Reconstruction will be a lot of fun. :-)

[socal_parrot]

I didn't even know Boxer could type.


Orange County voted 60% for President Bush. I love living in Orange Conty.

[vetvetdoug]

Damn, I cannot wait for this to happen. Does this mean that the blue state voting block that is in the red states have to move to California? Good riddance to the Memphis and Jackson, Ms deadbeats!!

[Junior]

You get all the technological innovation in Alabama.

You mean, like the Marshall Space Flight Center and all the defense industries in and around Huntsville?

[gitmo]

Just so we're clear, the country of California will be pro-choice and anti-war.

Then we win by default. Either through attrition or conquest.

This asswipe must have a mouse in her pocket. Liberals are deluded about their numbers...they think media hegemony translates into apostles.
