The idea isn't just a joke; one top Democrat says, "The segment of the country that pays for the federal government is now being governed by the people who don't pay for the federal government."

LOL - talk about having it backwards.

Even though I am a "Yankee" I would fight like hell on behalf of the red states as would 30-45% of the people who the people reside in blue states but are conservative.

I can't take the story too seriously because O'Donnell is the same arse that repeatedly screamed at and accused John O'Neill of being a liar on Pat Buchanan's show. It seems as if a certian segement of the liberal left has become unhinged and there is no better example then O'Donnell.

Let me get this straight. The blue states who created the welfare system, are now complaining that blue states are paying a greater expediture than red states, and now they want to cut those states loose?

But those inner cities are full of poor and minorities, the very backbone of the democrats vote.

I have been on two ultra-liberal websites over the past week, and trust me when I say this: this subject is being talked to death on those boards. Ad Infinitum. That and the typical demands for a recount and Kerry sucks for being a quitter.

Does this mean we will not have to export to them the supplies they don't produce?

This goes on up here in the Green Mountains all the time. Here is a snippet from this past Sunday's evening newscast:

<<Some say Vermont should become its own country. A conference in Middlebury this weekend -- focused on the idea of Vermont seceding from the U.S. A grassroots organization -- known as the Second Vermont Republic -- sponsored the convention. Organizers say the U-S government is not sustainable and only got worse with the re-election of President Bush. ((2:22 And so for Vermont, it's let's get on with considering some real possibilities, while we've got options and we do have options at this point there's a lot of discussion about legality, constitutionality, could Vermont survive as independent entity economically?)) Thomas Naylor is a former professor at both Duke University and UVM>>

The truth of the matter is that this state would fold without government subsidies for everything from maply syrup to milk.

Jack Moroney-shinning like a scarlet irritation in the center of a field of blue.

The Dems should get red and we should get blue. For obvious reasons.

Goggles Pizano · 11-09-2004, 15:34

I hope they (Liberals) keep up this rhetoric. The more they cry, whine, and wish for a secession the more conservative Democrats will simply leave the party. "Jesusland", that's rich. Sophmoric but rich. LOL!

BMT (RIP) · 11-09-2004, 15:48

Maybe the RED states should put "JESUSLAND" on our return address between city and state.

The origin of the term is from television newscasts that reveal on presidential election night which party's candidate has carried which states in the U.S. Electoral College The U.S. Electoral College is a specific form of an electoral college and is the method by which the President of the United States is chosen. The Electoral College was established by Article Two, Section One of the U.S. Constitution, and meets every four years with electors from each state. The 23rd Amendment to the Constitution has allowed electors from the District of Columbia to cast votes for the election of the president. The electoral process was modified in 1804 with the ratification of Amendment XII.

It should be noted that not all media outlets follow this standard. According to Federal Review's web site, the trend has been towards the use of blue for the incumbent and red for the challenger.

I fully support a democrat secession - move them all to the left coast (California) and blow the charges on the appropriate fault lines.

I like that idea. Someone make sure they get 18C4V and Guy out first. They've both suffered enough already.
