This little thread, you must view: "Your state is red; my state is blue"
Just received this from a friend and it made me laugh. No offense intended to all the DUers in the red states - this is simply satire, you have my deepest respect and best wishes! Feel free to add a verse, if you're up to it. :hi: :grouphug:


My State is Blue by Adam Wasson

Today you are joyous while I'm filled with rue
Your state is red; my state is blue

I canvassed, I voted, what more could I do?
Your state is red; my state is blue

I want diplomacy, you like a coup
Your state is red; my state is blue

You protect companies I want to sue
Your state is red; my state is blue

You promote abstinence, I like to screw
Your state is red; my state is blue

You say "be strong," and I say "be true"
Your state is red; my state is blue

I said "invasion," and you said "rescue"
Your state is red; my state is blue

I say "homophobia," you say "value"
Your state is red; my state is blue

My pets go "meow," and your pets go "moo" ( :evilgrin: )
Your state is red; my state is blue

I like rights (say, free speech) you want to undo
Your state is red; my state is blue

You like the Cowboys, I side with the Sioux
Your state is red; my state is blue

You think each word in the Bible is true
Your state is red; my state is blue

You're killing health care and I've got the flu
Your state is red; my state is blue

I fought the good fight, did all I could do
Your state is red; my state is blue

There are millions of me, and yet more of you
Your state is red; my state is blue

Oh Cheney, oh Cheney, you bastard, I'm through
Your state is red; my state is blue

19. I'm thinking seriously about registering Green.
Seriously, why shouldn't I vote Green locally, and Democratic in national elections? I'd be interested in hearing from Green DUers... :hi:

33. Well it works here, but I live in Maine where we have
voluntary clean elections. Still, I would encourage you to look into the Greens or other Progressive parties. Or be a Dem and vote outside the party now and then. :)

27. Hey, you should try living here.
The mouth-breathers really think they DO have a mandate.

I don't need this shit from "my own kind".

ALL kinds of "offense taken".

22. Love the Sylvia Plath reference in the last stanza...
note the original was "Daddy, Daddy, you bastard, I'm through," where she made references to her "Nazi/German" father. Interesting.
