Life in a Blue State
That's a great title, with more than one meaning. I am proud I live in what became a blue state, and I did my part in making sure my county was a blue one as well. However, I had an easier time being in a major city (King County is where Seattle is), a lot of Washington state was very red. Going into the election I was sure we would have a sane president again after 4 years. I guess I am still in a bit of shock that 51% of this country are such idiots. That may not be fair to say, but I don't know how else to explain it. How does it make sense that so many people voted for the guy who has gotten almost 2000 Americans killed in Iraq, is a threat to our environment laws, wants to take away our cival rights, and has caused the majority of the rest of the world to not trust our government? It shouldn't make sense.
The republicans have made the democrats evil. Seriously. Whenever you hear a republican talking politics, they refer to a democrat as a "liberal" with venom in their voice. You rarely hear a democrat do the same. So unless you are active in politics, you get bombarded with this "liberal" threat that aims to destroy our way of life. It is hard to think that anyone would be quite so impressionable, but this is the country where people think watching an idiot like Paris Hilton each week is entertainment. We democrats need to start using the same tactics if we plan to take back this country and start earning some respect in the world. We tried to take the high road and it doesn't work. So here is what I propose:
REPUBLICANS EAT BABIES!
Now spread that around. Make it a talking point. Make flyers, stickers, tv ads, radio ads, and get the message out. They eat fucking babies, how could you vote for any of them? What is worse, some couple you don't even know living together and maybe both being the same gender, or the fact that your president eats babies? I know which one I would choose. Maybe we can convince dense hicks in all those red areas that a democrat is a better choice by employing the same bullshit the republicans use.
Anyway, I think it can all be summed up with this quote:
"If you voted for Bush, didn't vote, or voted no on gay marriage, I hope you get drafted. I hope they stick you in my unit, and you go with me to Iraq when my unit goes back in September. I will laugh when you see what soldiers in that country face on a daily basis. I hope you work with gay soldiers too. I did. One of them saved my life. Think he shouldn't have the right to get married? Fuck you. He fought just as hard as I did and on most days, did his job better than me. Don't tell me gays don't have the same rights you do. Think the war in Iraq is a good thing? I'll donate my M-16 to you and you can go in my place."
If (when) there is a draft, I say all the republican voters can go, since they wanted this war enough to vote Bush.

Why do you live in a county that is completly paved over and built on if your worried about the enviroment? Go live on a farm or in the mountains, Oh, thats right you cant! You want to tell the rest of the state how and when they can use the land they own. You probably support the taxes that are collected state wide to pay for your counties screwed up road system and stadiums too. It seems being a seattlite Dem is working well for you
