Pick 25 States out to give to the Republicans for their Territory

[VoteDemocratic2004]

We will have to put a wall up around their territory to keep them from shooting at us.

I say lets give them Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, VA??

I am not sure of which states have the most right wingers in it but we need to give them back the South and pull our Southerners out and let them make a new start in life without Bubba the right winger next door.

[David Dunham]

1. Don't conced VA. We may be able to win that.

[drhilarius]

29. Northern VA. isn't all that bad.

we should keep Arlington and Alexandria.

[JohnKleeb]

34. what about falls church?

You wanna leave hickory hill in their hands? :)
I passed by it the other day on the way to my eye appointment, its a beautiful house. The part of NoVa where I live is more conservative, I have Frank Wolf for congressman but our populace is pretty tolerant at least of other cultures, and our school paper is quite liberal, so as more and more different kinds of people move to this district, you could see it becoming like how the wealthy suburbs are up north, becoming democratic.

[NV Whino]

2. You forgot

Florida.

[VoteDemocratic2004]

11. Florida is ours

Jeb stole Florida last time around.

[Bombtrack]

3. Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Montana, North Dakota

[porkrind]

32. Hey! I live in Utah!

Can I come live with you guys? Pretty Please??? :) :)

[Doosh]

Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota...might as well merge with S.D

just fence them in, throw in a bunch of guns and bibles, let them figure it out.

we'll check back in 10 years to see them eating there own feces.

[antigone382]

5. No, not those states either.

I'd hate to see what they'd do to those beautiful mountains. they'd just decimate the wildlife out there.

Why do we have to give them some place in America? Antarctica still isn't claimed, as far as I know.

[Zen Democrat]

7. We'll have mountains in Colorado.

[VoteDemocratic2004]

14. They would blow the tops off of the mountains

It would be a disaster.

[Zen Democrat]

6. We're keeping S. Dakota for the Native Americans n/t

[VoteDemocratic2004]

25. Native Americans get their pick

:hi:

[antigone382]

4. Uh-uh!!

I live in Tennessee, and the repugs can't have it! lol

But seriously, you'd be surprised how Democratic a lot of the smaller communities are.

[struggle4progress]

8. Let 'em have Mars: just pack 'em in styro peanuts and blast 'em off.

[antigone382]

17. best suggestion yet!

Mars is perfect...it's already a desolate barren wasteland, which is pretty much what they want to make the United States.

[PoliticsSportsMusic]

9. Lets boot them the out of here altogether....HELL sounds like a

good place for them...sorry have no compassion for Nazi's or Nazi sympathizers.

[VoteDemocratic2004]

15. They bought Hell as their place to retire

:evilgrin:

[beyurslf]

10. Why don't we just send them to Iraq? They can straighten out that

mess and then keep the country.

[Jack Rabbit]

12. As a proud descendant of the Boones, I will not concede Kentucky

Picture credit: City College of New York

[VoteDemocratic2004]

18. Sorry

Then we will have to run the varmints out of Kentucky.

[OnionPatch]

13. Definitely Texas

but not Virginia! It's awesome. I vote for Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and maybe Arkansas. I hate to give up Florida but it would end up detached from the rest of our territory. Maybe we could build a tunnel.

[enki23]

16. hell. texans always bragging about the size of their real estate

let's just give 'em texas. surely texas is BIG enough to handle it. and i've no doubt we'd be able to enlist mexico to build a very large portion of the fence.

all kidding aside. i'm pretty much ready to concede all fifty of the states, more or less, and head for the provinces up yonder.

[VoteDemocratic2004]

We could give Texas back to the Mexicans

We could let the Mexicans fight it out with the wingers in Texas and it would be a sure bet that the Mexicans would win their territory back.

[antigone382]

20. Actually, Texas could count as five states by itself.

Texas is the only state in the union that already has a plan in place to split into five separate states if necessary...at least that's what they taught me in school :)

[Zen Democrat]

23. Yes, it's in the state constitution of Texas

But I say keep Texas. Texas and California have so many natural resources. Besides, Hispanics will be the majority in Texas inside of 10 years and they are proud Democrats. The Oil Monopoly Republican days are numbered in Texas.

And Texas does have a proud Democratic heritage -- up until Reagan. Remember Texas went Democratic for Jimmy Carter, LBJ and JFK. And Ann Richards!!! And Jim Hightower!!!!

Let's wait for Texas and Tennessee and Georgia. They're coming.

[antigone382]

28. I'm thinking:

I really love all fifty states. Each one contribures some unique and irreplaceable thread to the fabric of our nation. Wouldn't it be better just to boot the repugs out? After all, Democrats were here first.

I still think they should be sent to Antarctica. That's where the ozone hole is, and since they have no problem with pollution they shouldn't mind suffering its consequences. Besides, the cold weather is a perfect fit for their cold hearts.

I just pray for the penguins.

[politicat]

19. Please don't give them access to the oceans.

And not VA. There are important historical and archeological sites relating to early Euro. settlement in the area that are not yet fully excavated.

And if we give them access to the oceans, they'll pipe all of their crap and their sludge into it and ruin them for everyone.

22. Texas-but gov.was dem once:Dakotas-were LW in past?

I heard one of the dakotas had a state-owned bank(s), till recently, maybe still.

Were the dakotas once LW? settled by all those Norweigans? What happened?

Texas had gov. , a dem gov. recently.. ann something... and had Hightower as aggie commish. How bad is the bush margin there now? why not still dem?

Mercury needs colony of Republicans. It rotates oddly, so they will have a cool season, every year or so. Cheaper to fly toward the suns gravity, than fight it all the way to mars. Be careful, Igor, not to send the ship on a near miss.. might hit the Sun.

[JohnKleeb]

35. Yeah the dakotas were once economically very left

Theres a party up there called the NPL. non partisan league. The dakotas like many states in the midwest was settled by Germans and Scandavians making it a pretty lutheran place and lutherans mostly are conservative.

[VoteDemocratic2004]

26. I was thinking of the in-between states

No states touching any part of the ocean or water ways.

[troublemaker]

21. It's impossible to do contiguously

The key states are TX, OK, AL, and SC, but they can't be contigous without including GA or TN and Arkansas, and all three have something worth saving in them.

[Zen Democrat]

24. Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Idaho

This would be contiguous, land-locked, and we'd have them surrounded.

(edited for sp.)

[guitar man]

27. Oklahoma

OK is already so full of repugs and DINO's we might as well let them have it. I'm ready to move the hell out of here anyway.

[DemBones DemBones]

30. But Wyoming and Idaho have amazing wilderness,

which THEY would pave, and put up a parking lot. Or sell to the highest bidder.

[fishwax]

39. Agreed!

We can't let them have Yellowstone!

[RummyTheDummy]

31. New Jersey, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Delaware, Connecticut

Maine,Vermont, Maryland, New York, Penn., Utah., Bama, Miss.,Georgia and of course Texas.

[Blue-Jay]

36. Ohio!?!?!

<grumblegrumble>

[JohnKleeb]

38. plenty of other states that shocked me

Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maine, and Vermont, New York. We shouldnt let the GOP have 25 states because conservatism wont disappear and even if it did, the moderates now would become conservatives, the liberals would become moderates, the somewhat far left would become liberals, and etc and on fourth. I say we try to make republicans the minority party by showing the people of this country how much better democrats like John Kerry and John Edwards will do for our country.

[JohnKleeb]

33. You know we dems in republican or republican leaning states

are just as loyal to the party as you guys in dem states. Virginia may go for Kerry which astounds me knowing that only one dem has won here in the last 50 years and that was LBJ in '64 and it was close but I see people with Kerry gear on their cars all the time here in NoVA and plenty more, Virginia may go for Kerry, the rural voters in the southwest of the state will admire his wartime service because southwest Va is the home of Bedford, the home of many who served on D-Day and they will like Edwards too.

[Bridget Burke]

37. None.

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

Chorus (2x)

40. I say

that they should all be assimilated, and give Grover Norquist what he wants--a one party country. Except that that one party WILL BE the Democratic Party and those that refuse to be assimilated will be sent to an uncharted island in the Pacific, big enough to hold about 50,000 people, and as people begin accusing us of being traitors, they will be shipped off to the island, where Cheney, Bush and whatever other despots they can handle there can rule to their hearts content.

Once these traitors to the true American democracy are dealt with, the REAL America can get back on its feet again, and re-associate itself with the rest of the world.

As for the island, On Gilligan's Island, they survived for many a year on the rations provided for a "3 hour tour." On Bush Island, without the Professor and other sources of intelligence, they'll be lucky to survive a couple of months, because they're complete incompetents.

[NoPasaran]

41. The Republicans can have Hell

I want ALL of my country back!

[Catfight]

42. TEXAS, or should it be TAXES, Bush can be little emperor of his

oil fields and the rest of the world will move forward with alternative fuel sources.

[Mr.Green93]

43. give them a plane ticket out

[Moderator]

44. Locking.....

This is flamebait.
