  •  Agree 100% (none / 0)

    If Bush wants to start cutting govt., start w/ pork given to red states.  They're the big advocates of cutting govt. anyway.

    •  enough talk (none / 0)

      who has a list of expenditures?

      for every damn one of them we need one person instate and several in blue states to take the campaign.

      coordinate and lobby each one individually; we'll never win as a single throw.

      corollary: every blue state needs a pac to lobby to end all state commerce with red states.

      this is war now.

        I don't think we should aim for ending commerce.  I'd settle for amicable divorce.  We can still trade with them, like we would with any other foreign country.  

        We should push federalism, though.  If that means Louisiana can put the 10 Commandments in the classrooms and ban abortion, so be it.  In return, we can allow gays to marry and teach evolution without fear.
