How much do you want to bet that the teaparty members and those that voted for them could care less what you and the libhadist friends have to say as well.
I wonder how many of those that suck the government's tit in the red states vote Democratic as that's the party that holds out the government aid carrot to get them to vote???
What would happen if states that didn't pay their own way (like Texas) were denied the vote in federal elections? Why should Southern states be allowed to participate in federal elections when all they do is vote to secure more Northern money for themselves? Now they are going a step further and attempting to destroy the economy of the United States.
Just because the South fucked up their own states, doesn't give them the right to screw up the Norths. Christ the murder rate in Texas is about triple ours and you PRESUME to lecture us on how to run a society?
I wish the South would just secede already. We CERTAINLY dont need nor want them. Let them go back to the stone age where they so desparately want to be.

The activism we see from Tea Party radicals in Washington today is just a modern-day reboot of the same government obstructionist strategies that have been around since the early days of slavery.
From the battles over segregation and discrimination of the 1950’s and 1960’s to the war on voting rights that’s taking place in state capitols all across the nation today, Tea Party-esque strategies and values have repeatedly reared their ugly heads throughout American history.
As Chuck Thompson over at Salon.com points out, the Tea Party strategy of today is the “same old obstructionist strategy that’s been pursued by traitorous Southerners in government since long before Robert E. Lee’s doomed charge at Gettysburg.”
Thompson goes on to say that, “It’s part of the same soiled fabric that stretches from John C. Calhoun and South Carolina’s 1832 Ordinance of Nullification…all the way to the Newt Gingrich-led government shutdown…”
Simply put, the Tea Party represents the 21st century rebirth of angry 19th century white male Confederates who wanted to secede from the United States and start their own dysfunctional country based on a plantation economy.
Maybe we should let them.
So what would an America free of Southern lunacy and Tea Party radicalism look like?
First, the disastrous Citizen’s United Supreme Court decision would be a thing of the past. In a modern, 21st century America, it would be clear that corporations are not people, and that money is not speech.
Similarly, billionaires would no longer be able to buy politicians in a “blue” America, so their mountains of money couldn’t corrupt democracy and the political process.
Next, the destructive policy decisions of the Reagan Revolution would be overturned: The Sherman-Antitrust Act would be enforced and the Reagan tax cuts would be rolled back.
The Fairness Doctrine would be rebooted, so that the media had to actually cover the news instead of programming infotainment to increase profits.
From there, we’d eliminate disastrous trade policies like NAFTA and the WTO, and return to the kind of protectionist tariff-based trade policies that built this country and our middle-class from the George Washington administration until Ronald Reagan began taking them apart.
And, the Medicare eligibility age would be lowered to the moment birth, giving us a national single-payer healthcare system.
When this is accomplished, America will reflect a 21st century version of the ideals and visions of the Founders.
If it takes a secession of “blue” America to achieve all of this, then so be it.
It’s time to let small-minded bigots go back to their plantation-style economies and let them run their states like third-world countries.
