What the hell you are trying to get at I have no idea.

Are you suggesting that each state would be broken down to red and blue sections?

jharp, I doubt you know what “Dick and Jane” books are “getting at”.

Yep, let’s split the country into red and blue. You can tax and spend yourself into oblivion and, best part for you, no teabaggers! I guess you’ll have to find another way to sublimate your homosexual fantasies into invective. Maybe you can finally get to meet Anderson Cooper and have the teabagging session you’ve always dreamed of.

Come on, don’t you have the courage of your convictions? I know you turds don’t love the country as it is, so here’s the chance to engage in a historical experiment to prove once and for all whose vision of the “just society” is the right one. I contend that you people don’t have the balls to split off and try to form your own country because your entire political ideology consists of flapping your gums about how smart you are. Plus, as I pointed out above, GOP voters make more money and, hence, pay more taxes to support you lazy Leftist bums. The bottom line is that you need “us” more than “we” need you. All the insults, accusations of stupidity, etc. cannot obscure the simple numerical facts. You are the party of the ultra-rich and ultra-poor. If the Democratic party were a country unto itself, it would be a Communist revolution just waiting to happen. Half of your party is people like John Kerry and the other half is people like those helpful folks at ACORN. Yeah, really friggin’ brain-trust you’ve got there.

We could reorganize at the county level, based on Presidential election results from 2008. Every county already has a fully-operational governance infrastructure, so there’d be hardly any need for any immediate capital investments. Heck, with the way Congressional districts have been gerrymandered, it’s already practically a reality that counties consist of either GOP partisans or Dem partisans, so this would just be codifying it into law. Individuals would declare their allegiance to one set of laws or another. People wouldn’t have to move unless they wanted to, but if you were “caught behind enemy lines” in a county that voted against your man in the 2008 election, you had to abide by those laws anyway.

You wouldn’t have to pay for any future wars that you didn’t want to pay for and I wouldn’t have to pay for your entitlements. It’s a win-win. Right now, politics overall is lose-lose. I hate you and you hate me. That’s no way to go through life. It’s not God-ordained that the United States exist in its present form for all eternity. The two political factions are clearly analogous to a couple that’s going to end up getting divorced sooner or later. Might as well get it over with now.
