1. Afraid of what? I only ask because you need a hook for . . .

an idea like this.

3. Goes great with another DU'ers idea

"I'm not scared enough to vote Republican"

[ClassWarrior]

4. Everything. They're so afraid of ter'rists, they're willing to...

...give up our rights as Americans!

NGU.

9. Exactly!! I've told my kids to picture republicans as crouching in the

corner of a closet pissing themsevles, and while they're at it they're pissing on the Constitution and The Bill of Rights.

2. Nice. I'm in.

NGU.

5. As a resident of blue county in a "red state,"

I plead with you to reconsider.

Besides, my state is becoming more "red with anger at the Republicans" of late. I think.

[ClassWarrior]

8. That's fair.

Mea culpa.

NGU.

6. Yellow pissin states it is!

"I'd NEVER be scared enough to vote repig!"

[nuxvomica]

7. "I vote blue, not yellow"

My first thought for a cryptic bumpersticker. I like your idea.

10. Actually I think it's fitting that the Consoviet states are red

(We "may not be allowed" to make Hitler comparisons, but STALIN'S FAIR GAME!!!)

11. My thoughts precisely

In fact, I made this very suggestion on my blog a short while ago. Forgive a bit of self-quotation...

"I propose a hue re-assignment. From now on, color that party yellow -- in honor of the military records established by their leaders. Not to mention their preferred brand of journalism."
