The BIG PICTURE: Either we vote for Blue or we vote for Red
Edited on Fri Sep-29-06 12:45 PM by opihimoimoi
What the Hell has the GOP Given America???

Never mind all the buzz words and the BS...what have they REALLY given America? Answer, they have given us a huge National Debt/deficit, they have given us a dufus president...more like the last 3, and they have given us a philosophy of The Ends justify the Means...(Torture is good).

If we wish to return to Good Days of Reason And Sanity...VOTE BLUE

The record is CLEAR...The GOP has Fucked Up America

Thanks to Bush, the GOP will now be known forever as the TORTURE PARTY....yikes/shit/crikey/fuck/etc....

4. The GOP is the Party of PAIN... They are into PAIN SO MUCH, they wish
to share it....Is the GOP masochistic??? They love the Pain of watching coffins come home needlessly?? of watching for months on end of a missing girl in Arruba?

What is it about the hard core Pubs?? They love pain so much they legalize TORTURE??? WTF is going on in their BRAINS???

Vote BLUE and reject this GOP CRAP....

11. Coffins? What coffins?
Edited on Fri Sep-29-06 12:56 PM by Jackpine Radical
What torture? Fraternity pranks, maybe. OK, maybe firm interrogation procedures. But whaddarya ennyway, some kinda islamofascist socialist wacko?

And yes, I do take your point, Opi. I'll vote for those enabling bastards. Herb Kohl in my case. (my Rep, Dave Obey, is a thoroughly solid progressive, but Kohl is often pretty questionable).

But Goddamit, I'm gonna make some noise and let them know I'm pretty unhappy with them even while I'm voting for them.

12. Thanks for the Blue Support....I always did say the Dem Party
should be very careful of who runs under the DEM NAME....guys like Joe/Zell should never have been allowed in...

We need a filter....

2. Some people are so busy looking through the microscope
Edited on Fri Sep-29-06 12:26 PM by bowens43
that they can't see the big picture. Are they really willing to have 2 more years of total republican control just to punish a few Democrats who voted badly?

3. On a complete tangent, that's somewhat related to your post:

I just looked at an election 2004 map again, and was struck by the regionalism - it's just so stark: Three blue regions (plus Hawaii) of the country, with a continuous connected geography within each:

The Northeast from D.C. up to Maine.
The four connected Upper Great Lakes states - Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota.
The West Coast from Washington down to California.

Is it in the Water?

Their schooling?

The soil/dust/air ???

It has to be something???

Why does a CANCER GROW? Answer that and we explain the GOP
