Let's break away with what we can
There are states in this country that are so far out of step with the rest of the nation that elected that miserable bastard today, I say that we get to work on that, on pulling places like the West Coast and the Northeast out of this country with the intent of preserving our ways of life.

I'll do what I can in California, who is with me?

2. With almost all of the food and energy production
coming out of those red states, I think we'd be better off looking for a different strategy.

5. Not so on the West Coast
If we were a seperate nation, we produce enough petroleum to supply ourselves, not to metnion the San Juoqiun valley producing so much agriculture that we export a good chunk of it to the rest of the nation. We can do it here.

4. Interesting idea.
But California threw out a Dem and put a woman-groping, in-bed-with-Enron Repub in his place. And the numbers there were far closer than they should have been, barely a 10-point lead for Kerry. Do you really think the state would have the guts to secede?

8. It can be given them
We have two years until the next election, I know that at the very least I'll do what I can to stir up enough trouble to make it happen.

6. I don't want to break the country but I too feel like i need shelter.
I feel like moving out of Michigan to the northeast, I understand the culture in the blue states so much more, the people that I’m surrounded by are totally screwed up.

11. We can do it
So what if the GOP won the federal government, we will give them no peace for the next 4 years! They will have unending headaches coming from California if nothing else.
