McCain vs Obama and email

Tweet

I have written several articles on the upcoming election discussing the smear campaign by the McCain Palin camp against Obama pointing out that the "radicals" Obama is supposed to be "in with" was back in the 1960's when I think we all knew some radicals. I also have written about Palin being responsible for the machine gunning of wolves from the air, the attempts to ban books without having ever read them and the attempt to fire a librarian who stood up to her. The idea of Republicans winning this election is scarier than ever as more and more comes to light about the candidates. (like McCain's service buddies coming forward to discount his claims of being a war hero) So today in my email this came, and I found a bit of humor to ease the nerves and wanted to share it with you all. Dear Red States:If you manage to steal this election, too, we've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the North East. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California. To sum up briefly: you get Texas, Oklahoma and the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get Worldcom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85% of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and htey don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq,and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire. With the Blue states in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nations fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines, 90% of all the cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and soybeans. (thanks Iowa!), most of the u.s. low sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Cal Tech, UCLA, Berkeley and MIT. With the Red states, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92% of all u.s. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Souther Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Cemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you. Additonally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy bas***ds believe you are people with higher morals than we lefties. Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico. Peace out, Blue States end of that email. For obvious reasons I had to*** some of the letters in one word above, but wanted you to know what the email said when I got it. It poses an interesting idea should the Republicans manage to win the day. The Republicans have a concerted effort to disenfranchise voters (mostly democrats and blacks through the systematic passage of laws about "exact matches" of identification for the purported purpose of "ballot security" which has caused retaliatory responses like "stealbackyourvote.com" where there is some good information if you happen to live in a state with a Republican controlled legislature (it does not affect those of us who do not have that although it is not made clear in their presentation.) Over all I think this coming election is going to be a very interesting one, but full of hardships for those of us who are volunteer poll workers. I think it will be a very very long day indeed.
