Which 2 states would you like to leave out of the Primary's?
Personally, if I was in a position to take 2 states out of all primary considerations, i would have an easy choice and a hard choice.

The easy one first: Florida. I am sorry to any of you who live there or like it, but I have despised Florida since I was a small child. The weather is, to my polar bearish tastes, outlandishly warm. Everyone I know who has been there says it is crowded and the traffic is terrible, and I am adamantly opposed to traffic. Then there is the whole theme park thing, and I absolutely despise lines. Plus, after 2000 and 2004, and now the current situation, I am not fond of the state in an electoral kinda way either.


As to the tougher choice... really, there are several states that are contenders. As a former Coloradan, Texas has a special place on my hit list. As a former Californian, as long as we could pull the bay area and the 49'rs out first, i wouldn't mind seeing the rest of the place sink into the ocean. But I think I would have to choose Utah.

Why Utah, you may ask yourself. The honest truth is I do not really know. The place has always given me a creepy kinda vibe. Of all the times I went to 4 corners, I have avoided stepping into Utah. I've never known anyone who I could rank as sane who was a native of Utah. Ive even found ways to avoid stepping on the soil when traveling through.

So.. yeah. I could also have titled this post "Why I will never be president." Mainly because, whatever other qualifications i may have, a central part of my platform would be walling Utah off from the rest of humanity.

If so, you like, totally missed the mark.

8. See, OMC? This is why I so accurately peg you as a basher
of Obama supporters. And don't even start with the "it's a joke" line. You know what they say about jokes. I've never seen you make such a comment about Hillary supporters. Be brave, come out of the closet. You are a Hillary supporter and an Obama basher.

11. ROFLMAO!!!!!
Oh no. Cali told me not to start with the it's a joke line, even though it was in fact a joke. What shall I ever do. Oh noesssss :rofl:

And again, I have not bashed obama. Poking fun at some of the rabid, totally knee jerking, wound too tight, often times ignorant, narrow minded, out of their minds borderline irrational zealots that support him, does not equate to bashing Obama. So please, let your obsession with it go already. It's kinda scary.

3. Nebraska and Rhode Island
Nebraska's a huge feedlot, and Rhode Island is like the set of "West Side Story."

Fuck 'em both.

27. Ive been to Nebraska
Didn't seem like that bad of a place. Though mostly all I saw were teenagers with too much booze.

Rhode Island... never been there. is it really like that? WSS wasn't all that bad, really.

4. Normally I'd ignore something that's this stupid!
This is exceptionally stupid, however.

20. I figure if other people can say monumentally stupid things
from the anonynimity of the GD: P, I can say stupid yet fairly harmless things as well.

13. Florida and Michigan, don't these people realize they were duped?
Their state Dem party gave them little opportunity to participate in the democratic process. Complain to them!

But you don't change the rules midstream. Sorry...

14. have to go along with you on the Utah thing
but I like Florida and California, pretty much all of them. Maybe we could do without Connecticut. It's just a bunch of insurance companies and Joe Lieberman. Yeah, that's it. Screw Connecticut.

Wait - my ancestors founded Hartford! So maybe It is mine. Maybe I can kick out Lieberman and the insurance companies.

Kansas. Now there is a waste of space. Actually, all it is is space. Yeah, screw Kansas. That's the ticket. The Utes and the Jayhawks. Screw 'em both.

15. hmm
Kansas.. theres one I dont give much thought to. So very flat. You stand on the Colorado side, and look over, only to see Missouri. Not even a tree to block the view and provide a little privacy. But I dont really have any active issue with them. I cant really get with that one.

16. You went to 4 corners and didn't even step in one of the 4 states? That's pathetic!
Edited on Sun Mar-09-08 01:53 AM by JVS
And my mom razzed me for chilling a couple of hours at the trevi fountain while my brother went to look at the vatican. I at least had the excuse of being hot, exhausted, and opposed to the papacy.

19. R. Island, Delaware.
A lot of those states in the Northeast are too small to be their own states. Merge them!

24. I long thought
that it might be adequate if we just merged Canada with Washington state, and called it Washida. But then I realised that it would be much more appropriate to merge it with Alaska and have Alasida. Or perhaps Canaska. As long as they get to keep universal health care, its all good either way.
