Would it be better to have 2 seperate countries?

If there could be a peaceful separation, I think it would work out better in a lot of ways. We could still be trading partners and allies in a lot of ways. The blue states could stop sending their revenues to red states, too. I'd love to see the reds' faces when half of the women relocate to the coasts (where most blue states are; I guess there's something about sea breezes and oxygen.)

No one is totally liberal or totally conservative. They have different opinions on issues. Some liberal ,some conservative. Some people are a liberal Republicans or a conservative Democrats, where would they live? Where would the moderates live?

Add: Liberal, conservative and moderate are not political groups.. they are ideologies found within all political parties. Republican, Democrat, Independent etc. And no, people would not be happier that way. United we stand, divided we fall.

Add: Just because I am pro-choice I don't want to live with the tree huggers without my gun. Nor do I want to live with the bible thumpers because I believe in a balanced budget. We just have to all stay together.

I have a much more apropos idea. Set afloat, just inside U.S. waters, a thimble-sized vessel and place all those who still pander to this undefinable "conservative/liberal", "right-wing/left-wing", "deminican/republicrat" stupidity into its hull.

The rest of America will band together under the principles of Jefferson, Madison, Washington et al, and will rebuild this nation in the inextinguishable light of a Legacy none of us deserves yet which most recognize as nothing short of miraculous.

Far too valuable to subject to the quixotic whim of partisan folly.

...

Kinda makes one wonder about the notion of These United States of America don't it?! Let's see, how did it all come to this, go figure!

Two points: 1) If you think McCain is a conservative you're dreaming. 2) Everyone has their hand out for government money regardless of party affiliation.

i think we should have let the south secede instead of having a civil war - they are like a cancer, we would be far better off without them. If it was not for the northern states and west coast funding them, they would be a third world theocracy with bush as dictator and biblical law implemented.

on the down side, it would probably have been the last country to abolish slavery - right after saudi arabia

Why stop there?

Let's break it down into fiscal conservaties and social conservatives.

And pro-choice and pro-life.

And people with brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes.

And left handers. And people with one arm.

Heck, let's just divide it down to 5 square yards for every man woman and child. Millions of seperate countries.

Sheesh.

The frightening thing is the left in america is considered right wing anywhere else..If right wing americans can't get on with the sanitized "left" wing it has - its kinda troubling.

Sounds like you are suggesting communism to me.

Basically you are saying if you live in this section then you must think like them also.

Move to Cuba or Libya if you want to have everyone thinking the same way.

Why would you want to do that.

Diversity is what makes this country great.
