I feel like I'm missing out on something
Every day I read about a DUer's encounter with a freeper or a fundie out in their every day business. Maybe it's an old lady in the supermarket or a crazy SUV driver that tries to run you off the road because you have a Kerry sticker on your car. Well I live in a heavily democratic area and I rarely see any pro-Bush stickers on the road (Kerry outnumbers them 3-1). Aside from an occasional scrape with a family member I never have any interesting stories to tell. I want to defend my honor and the honor of my candidate DAMMIT!! What the hell is up with all of these people agreeing with my point of view? I'm in a fightin mood and I got no one to pick on! :P

2. Damn
it sucks to be you.

Looks like you need to move down here, Dallas area. We can have some fun together fucking with freepers!

I wore my "Like Father Like Son One Term Only" shirt to Don Pablos the other night and I swear I think my meal was spit in. Spat in? Spat upon?

Anyway, it is fun living on the edge.

4. Volunteer for the Boy Scouts
Or a protestant church group. Or better yet, become a precinct captain and knock on the door of a "decline to state" voter that has a flag pole in their front yard.

9. Hey not a bad idea...
Ok here it goes...
I was driving down the highway in a hybrid car with a ton of anti-Bush stickers on the bumper when out of nowhere a giant hummer pulls up behind me and starts riding my tail. I look in my rear view mirror and its some redneck with a shot gun and a giant cowboy hat on. He tries shooting out one of my wheels but I just activate my bullet proof force field around my car (I was able to afford it with all the money I saved on gas). So then I tossed out some tire spikes and I was like "take that motherfucker!!!" and the dude lost control of his car and it slammed into the motorcade which coincidently belonged to Dick Cheney. Sore one for the liberal!

Then I got to the grocery store to pick up some soy based products when all of a sudden a pack of klansmen walked in and started hassling the casher, and I was like "pick on someone your own size" and they were like "this doesn't concern you bitch". and I was like "oh no you didn't" and they were like "oh yeah we did". So I had no choice to single handedly kick their asses with my super cool ninja skills. The casher was so grateful that she let me have my tofurkey for free *and* she agreed to vote for Kerry.

Just another day in my life for this bad asssssssss liberal crime fighting machine!

14. Are you a libertarian/green by any chance?
I don't mean to offend, but you managed to make fun of both sides so well. I was laughing out loud when I read "soy based products" and the "pack of klansmen" was great, too. I'm still chuckling...

7. You're living in a more reasonable part of the US -- lucky!
Even here, in liberal pinko lefty communistic Southern California, I seem to be surrounded by Bush freaks -- at least if incidence of bumper stickers is any guide. I didn't know that this part of LA was particularly right-leaning, as is much of Orange County, but it is a generally affluent part of the county. Even though part of it's like an annex to Beverly Hills and half the people here seem to be engaged in the famously liberal pinko lefty communistic entertainment industry (henceforth to be referred to simply as 'The Industry'), I guess it could still be a bit of a Freeper enclave through sheer fiscal self-interest or, alternately (and this fits many hereabouts), complete and utter ignorance and, like, omigod, like, totally grody-to-the-max airheadedness.

11. I live in a town...
In central NJ, just outside of Trenton. Trenton's mayor and city council is all dem. Our mayor and town council is all dem (these are the two largest voting blocks in the county). That allows for a democratic county executive and freeholders. This coupled with two democratic senators and governor, I'd say my area is pretty blue. It's been getting more democratic as the years pass, because I'd say that 15 years ago all of the local offices were all inhabited by Republicans, it's an interesting shift.

However one thing that has always baffled me was our congressman. The man is as far right and pro-life as you can get, but every time he wins in a landslide.

16. I just took a job in a school district near here
The town is very agricultural and has a high hispanic population. I hope its Democratic because I plan to move there and nix the commute. I'm thinking, maybe my boss will even be a Democrat. But then I see my principal drive up in a Mercedes ML500 SUV. Doesn't look good does it?
