Re: I say get rid of New Hampshire (none / 0)

NO!!!!!

Then we'll be stuck with "Northeastern elites" EVERY TIME. No, no, no.

California, Texas, New York, and Florida first. The four biggest, most important states. All heavily influential. Two liberal, two more conservative. All with heavy minority populations. Big big big.

California and New York back candidates like Jerry Brown, Texas and Florida back candidates like Bill Clinton. Therefore, both types of Democrats get their say, and the four biggest states get first dibs. Screw Iowa. Screw New Hampshire. Screw South Carolina, and all those other pasty-white, low-population farm states with little influence on the national economy. Between California, Texas, New York, and Florida, about 35% of America is represented, and a larger portion of American minorities. It's the only democratic approach.

I'm sorry, but a tiny rural state that is 97% white is not America. California, Florida, New York, Texas, that's America.

Re: I say get rid of New Hampshire (none / 0)

I sort of consider K street as America. I get all misty and choked up when I see lobbyists driving big black mercedes benz with the windows all dark and rolled up. It gives me a warm, patriotic feeling.

I just know they're helping us out. Fighting our battles in every georgetown parlor.

America stands for

  1. Corrupt election processes and un-auditable companies running hacked software to count the votes

  2. A billionaire can jack-off-to-nude-boys mags and molest kids and go free- court system

  3. Dead bodies floating in the water next to people when natural disasters strike

  4. Torturing innocent civilians with car batteries and black hoods on their heads

  5. Shooting people in the head who are lying down and harmless

  6. Ripping off Trillions of dollars from Americans in big dot - con stock schemes

  7. Flying the Bin Ladens out of the country on 911

  8. Arabian Horse Show directors getting FEMA posts if they're the roomie of a roomie of a pal who kisses ass, and gets paid off (oh by the way, there are about 80 of these guys under the current administratoin)

  9. Blocking dangerous environmental reforms and spewing out poison all over the world ! Down with Kyoto, up with a new sea route through the Arctic!

  10. Shutting down schools because we want to run up gas prices for oil companies.

Of course, if you look carefully oil companies and media firms love all of this - americans are isolated, watching their TV ads, buying gas and everything is just great - hey they've got some new oil fields out there even if it meant hurting some innocent people, or killing them, or clipping their nipples to electrodes.

How can we ignore the fact that this is in fact the real issue?

All we have to do is wake up, and vote for the right person even if the TV tells us not to.

Re: I say get rid of New Hampshire (none / 0)

No way.  If you think the Democratic delegation of FL and TX are conservative, you're crazy.  Florida Democrats are just as liberal as those from New York.  If not, more so.  Texas ain't that much further behind.  If you really want to get a better cross-section of the party, you have to chose states with a small urban populace, think Indiana or Montana.  That would be a better way to go if you are talking NY and CA in a big "Super First Day" context.
