1. Serve Their Stupid Bush-Voting Asses Right If They Did!!
you think they are intelligent enough THEN to put two and two together and come up with four?

Shit, I forgot, they can only count to three, because that is how many TEETH they have!!!

4. If you don't have a home (as in an address)
you can't vote. I'll bet they won't think of that.

11. And you'd think with three teeth they'd be easier to clean. Wrong.

20. I really hate the "teeth" analogy
I have an IQ in the 130's own my own business and I'm an adept video producer I also have only about 3 teeth in my head. Not because of any geographical location or checkered upbringing but because I'm one of the many in this country that despite working hard has slipped through the cracks of healthcare and never been able to afford good healthcare or dental. I also probably have cancer but I can't afford to go find out and get treatment. Sweeping generalizations suck in other words.

3. Well, I would not wish
for anyone to lose their house, but if they must, let it be because they voted for Bush.

10. I'm a realist. I have no problem screwing over Bush voters.
If you are a right winger, you have no right to property, so you'll rent it from "Mitterand and Me". :D If the redneck mafia can't hold on to property, then I should own it because I as a liberal Blue State Democrat, I know how to handle money. I'll charge them high rents for worthless tenements. I think that is just punishment for their support of *.

9. Keep yer hands off my house...
"The Red State Real Estate!"

I did my best to keep my state from turning
red. But, my house is blue.

If on your shopping spree you get thirsty and
need a drink... By all means, stop by and say
Howdy.

12. Well, you see, you're a Democrat and you know how to handle...
your money properly so you will NOT loose your house. As a matter of fact, I MAY consider you as a partner.

14. There was a story
about two brothers in Germany.

One worked hard and saved his money.

The other drank wine and threw the empty bottles in the back yard.

Then along came the 1920's and hyper inflation.

The brother who worked hard and saved his money was wiped out.

People who could not afford to buy wine and made their own needed
empty bottles.

I don't know if that a true story, but thanks for reminding me of it.

13. Make it all Bush voters, not just Red states
There were plenty of Red Staters that voted for Kerry, and Blue Staters that voted for Bush. They all got sucked into the propaganda and they'll be paying for it when the economy finally collapses. I'll take no joy in their suffering -- the whole thing is very sad for our country.

17. I'LL Take Joy In The Suffering Of Bush Voters!!
They are taking joy right now in my having to go back home to Mommy at age 34, a loser at life.

Fuck them.

They caused me to have to go back home to mommy and admit I'm a loser at life. When it is THEIR turn I will fucking laugh at them.

18. Bankruptcy is awful. The trouble is this and this trouble is outright evil
1. Banks still over-hype credit cards and still using the same glossy polish of "have it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

2. No job is certain anymore. No matter how they try to coo you, they will find a way to get rid of you when the time is right. Unless they outsource you first, but then they'd have to pay unemployment fees and they don't want to do that.

3. As people lucky enough to find a job get one that's typically much lower in pay, some or many will need the damn things for even the essentials.

4. The laws are being re-written in an obvious attempt to slant the game in favor of the banks. This is the most evil aspect of it all. They lure you in and swallow you with one large lump.

I hope college kids out there don't fall for the same trap many of us in the ealr 1990s had. I hope they revolt. We need a new breed of flower children. One that can tell the difference between dreaming and reality and then turn the dream into reality by sticking to it. (BTW: Never try to change a system by using the system. It won't work unless you're in charge of the system.)

19. Got my lines ready
"If you couldn't handle your bills, why did you rack up the debt?"

"Why should society have to pay for your irresponsibility?"

"Why can't you take personal responsibility for your actions?"

"If you didn't have any money, why did you get sick or old?"

21. When you think about it, Bush has and is royally screwing
his red state base of poor, stupid people. I wonder if they realize it? He's given up the gay marriage amendment thing, forgotten the anti-abortion amendment he had them jacked up on and now he's arranging to have the double wide hauled out from under them, too. Will they wake up in 2008?

As long as they don't try and sleep there.
