Reply #33: Don't worry [View All]

Bush himself will see to it that there's less money given to the actual little people who voted for him in those red states and more given in corporate welfare to his cronies wherever they may reside (likely in Bermuda). So I don't think we'll have to worry about teaching them any sort of lesson by cutting them off. And I'm really not sure they'd care. They'd rather get less federal money from revenue sharing and shut down the local police or fire department than allow a couple gays guys in MA to get married. Some of these states are already pretty goddamn poor and they still vote Republican. If they thought like the rest of us, they would already be over that threshold where their economic interest trumps their want for conservative social policy.
