in jest (sort of anyway)

Published Sep. 6, 2008

Since it seems like our national passtime has become detesting the other side of our personal political persuasion, why don't we just acknowledge that we can't stand one another & go ahead and split up?

We'll take the traditionally Democratic states of Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. That's just 17 states.

 

You guys can have the other 33, and we'll all get together and flatten DC before we part ways.

 

Sound like a good idea? :-D

I like this idea. Additionally, all Dems must move to a blue state and all reps must move to a red state. Independents will have to chose, but once they pick a color they must remain with that group for life.

therose2005: Thank you but no thanks. As I stated before, life is all about choices and boy have I made some bad ones. Not been locked up or anything, but I surely do not want all of my skeletons out there for everyone to see. If I drank a beer when I was 17 is surely my business and not the worlds.

Interesting proposal, except that it leaves some unresolved issues. Now, flatten DC; where do I sign up? But, after the seperation, where would Independents like myself go? Sounds to me like-depending on the issue-I'll be doing alot of traveling.

By the way, Johnny M. is most correct: 'Deliverance' was indeed filmed in Georgia along the Chatooga River. I've been down it several times on whitewater rafting trips. It's a great river to ride; I highly recommend it. Luckily, I didn't have to "squeal like a pig"!

And as for getting along, James Carville and Mary Matalin have been married for 20 or so years and they're definitely polar opposites.

Raggedy you got my vote go ahead and run for president, and i`m serious. It`s always been that the working people have to pay more than our share, and forget about getting old and getting help.

"Where did this "Red state ,Blue state" idea come from ? was it not some political pundit ?" - jon4four

I always find it amusing the conservaties use red which everywhere else is the traditional color for socialism and communism.

Can you say "reds under the beds"?!?!?!

Deliverance was filmed entirely on location in Georgia (the state, of course).

That puts it much closer to home than AR - arrggh!

"To some degree we are all conservative and liberal. Maybe 10% of the population will fall into that catagory where they just refuse to see someone elses point of view."

Now he begins to get to the root point of the blog itself ...

Where did this "Red state ,Blue state" idea come from ? was it not some political pundit ?This is just another divisive tactic.To some degree we are all conservative and liberal. Maybe 10% of the population will fall into that catagory where they just refuse to see someone elses point of view.These are the blind leading the blind, whether they call themselves conservatives or liberals is not the point.The point is they are the manority.

Deliverance...oh my...well I won't put that one on my list of places to visit.

danriverboy: See even though we do not agree on anything we have had a very nice intellegent conversation. I wish other people on GOLO could do this more often. I have enjoyed my time with you. I have got to start washing some clothes and mopping the floor. I had promised myself with this one day off I was going to do that and I have sat here talking all day. Have a great one.
